IF they did it in Sydney I sure ACA and TT would be doing a report how he was being a hoon and how they want his car impounded.
But it is an great video. |

Getting a little bit repetitive though. Any time I watch his videos I think back the original WRX video at the hangar and enjoy that video far more!

He has good skills, but what he really has is time, money and the resources.

Not his best, needs some more challanging stuff.
This is much the same as before....he needs to do a barrel roll.

What i liked most about the first video, was that anyone could go out and build a car fairly similar to do what he did. Hell, a stock sti would have a good shot at doing it!
The fact that he is doing it in a car that is unobtainable and purpose built for rally (yes his subaru was but you cant go and buy an awd turbo fiesta now can you...) takes away a little of the hype about it. Just a little. Would be far more impressed if this was done in a v8 supercar or a modded ford/holden barge!

Uh yeah I'm sure! Some impressive driving in this clip no matter the amount of takes. I guarantee you'd need a lot of skill to do it in 100 takes let alone 1.

The man can drive.
Seriously impressive stuff I really enjoy his gymkhana clips.Its puts me in my place well and truly. I'd struggle to lay a decent burnout on a skidpan, and ken block is cutting loose on the ragged edge! Just means I can really appreciate just how hard he's working to pull it off. |

Im not sure how anyone could ever get bored of watching these videos, his car control is amazing, yes there are plenty of takes, but how many laps does it take an F1 driver to find the best way round a circuit?
