Block is great at what he does, but rally driving is not what he does.
Hasn't rallied in 4 years and has never won a race.

I'd love to have a go in his Fiesta though! 650hp in such a little car is nuts. Love it!

Its not fair to compare him to Rally drivers, just as it wouldn't be fair to compare Travis Pastrana to motocross racers.

Think you will find Travis was a AMA 125 champion, plus represented USA 2000 mx des nations..makes him a motocross racer in my book...

So you’re going to reference a racing career from 18 years ago when he was 17, and riding toy 125’s? Once he tried 250’s he never won a championship. Perhaps you have some 50cc races you’d like to reference too?

In my opinion that means for the last 18 years he hasn’t won a major motocross race, nor has he won as an adult.

So would you compare the Travis Pastrana of today with the motocross racers of today? Surely not, because he’s not a racer he does freestyle and is the best at freestyle.

Not saying he’s never raced, just that he isn’t currently a racer and you’d be silly to compare him to racers.

The 'worlds best drifter' was only a shortening of the video title. There is no suggestion that this guy is a WRC folks, I only posted it because Ford is represented and I had seen the making of that blown awd Mustang but not seen it driven. I had never heard of this fella until the other day, mainly as I like the older drivers like Ari Vatanen who drove cars without all the electronic aids that all top motorsports have these days. https://youtu.be/TKgeCQGu_ug
