Still worth a rewatch.
Would love him to be better in WRC ?
Either the existing drivers are good or he's not as good, or they're different disciplines and it will take him a bit more time ?
No slouch either way.

Yep, that's special car control right enough. He can definately show boat.Comment

The right discipline is autotesting, gymkahna I think in US/AUS/NZ, a lot of the best lads in the world are Irish, Sam Bowden, Ken irwin. Not sure what they have on u tube, but a good friend i used to work with does, Paul Swift.
He's the son of Russ, remember the old montego advert?
Anyway, He does it for a living now, nice job eh!

I actually thought some of his driving was quite messy: This is Ken Not Block!! This guy is from Castlederg in Northern Ireland, and is in his 70's!!

Remember Top Gear is entertainment, not factual.
I worked as a "plant" in the audience for a couple of years at shows like that, mainly because health and safety would no way let jo public come on stage and do stuff like that.
Trust me, Ken Irwin is awesome, and great craic on a night out!05 Allroad

I dont really rate Ken Block at all, grew up around autotests so seen a lot neater driving over the years, but he puts on a good show. And speaking of "Ken not block" met him on sunday enjoying the sun and BBQ after an autotest

Block has never really got going in the WRC...
I suspect he's good at the 'trick' stuff, but not at the 'real gon@ds' bits...
In the first minute of this video, watch Tony Pond in the SD1.

This year in WRC there has been a lot of problems with the car, Ken Blocks team monster is run by my friends brother and the non works cars have been truly awful for reliability this yearComment

Great Manx vid there... why is it like ~25yrs after the fact I still would love an AC Delco coloured Manta 400 in the garage ? Alongside an A2 URQ in Audi Sport colours of course.... and a Lancia Delta in Martini colours
