Incredible car control, I can't say I approve of his shift to Ford but the new car seems to be treating him well!

I was going to say the same thing. If he has such great car control then why does he always crash out? Talented yes but there is a catch.

Most anyone here could drive in a similar manner if we owned a shoe company that made top $$$$ and had nothing else to do. He could own and run his own race team from the $$ made of of DC products alone. Not that I am knocking a self-made man, he just so happens to have a big bucks and some really cool hobbies.

Sub dropped out of factory works rallye competition in 2009. This was due to the fact that Fuji Heavy Industries pulled out to save $$$. Ken Block signed on with Ford and jumped in their tricked out rallye speck Fiesta.

Yes, he has been pilloried by the Subaru fanboys. Whatever. Subaru dropped out of the WRC and Block found himself without a ride. in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.

and when you watch the videos, they are a compilation of many runs at the same obstacles...

Yes, I took a good look at this and this is a compilation of multiple runs. I'd say there was one for each of the external cameras as well as a few rotating cameras (like the figure eight around the green barrels shot from within the barrels.)
So, probably around 8 runs to make the video.

That being said, it was GREAT car control and awesome entertainment.

I seem to remember him hitting a wall in one of the other videos. I would give a body part of some sort just to ride shotgun during this hitting walls or not.
Pat Garvey
As my buddy Jafsmith said when he sent this to me - 'how many sets of tires?"

Regardless, fits right in with one of the most awesome displays of precision drivinbg I've ever seen. I'm keeping this one!

Went to watch the Olympus Rally a couple weeks ago. I hadn't been to a rally since I was really little and we had a great time... until we got home and found out that one of the competitors had an accident on the stage after where we were sitting. He passed away at the scene. The co-driver was alright, but I can only imagine the grief of not only watching your friend pass away, but also the endless self doubt of whether you read the notes correctly, loud enough, at the right time, etc.

This is a picture I took of Matt Marker on stage 5. May he rest in peace...

Here is another , real racin 25 years ago , I like the Block video's, great car, great skills, a bit too hollywood for me, These 25year old group B video's are the heat of the battle so to speak ,one shot one time, and dont hit a spectatator.
