johnny g Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wonder if Block is one of those who's got immense control, but isn't "quick"? Very interesting season ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Rallying will be different to his video's....after all he'll be relying on someone else (co-driver) and building that team can take time. I hope he does well but am not expecting him to light up the world...great PR for WRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If he does not make that connection with the co driver there are going to be some impressive crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hasn't he been rally driving for a few years now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hasn't he been rally driving for a few years now? Yes, in Rally America he won best rookie driver in 2004 IIRC. And he's done the X games too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Lets get him on the rally GB and see how he copes with true rallying You mean when a wheel falls off between stages and you have to fix it on the shoulder of the B364 with a 7mm spanner in the rain and only a cup a bovril to keep you warm... if your lucky!

pistonbroke Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 This should be interesting to see. Though his gymkana (sp) videos suggest he's godlike behind the wheel, the thousands of skid marks on the tarmac show he's done the manouvers many times prior to the final shoot.......he'll only get one chance on the stages, and with Loeb (who is godlike in my opinion) against him, we'll soon see who can drive, and who can't.

Exactly, legends like mcrae and burns may they Rip, were legends. They didn't like to show boat doing stunts, they got out there and did what they did best. I'd like to see him tearing through the Epynt stages in icy conditions. He may be able to put on a show but one cock up and hes had it. The rally of GB is classed as one of the most challenging for the simple reason of surface changes which happen on nearly every turn and weather. I say good luck to him, but can not see him coping with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I imagine he's done a couple of drives under rally conditions before Ford actually signed him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
