Omg i wish i could sit in that seat for a run of his practice. Thats awesome! I watched some of the videos and it gets me revved up to do cool stuff with my Impreza. Prob take it out on the ice sometime or somethin for the heck of it.
If future gymkhana videos were just in-car cameras, that would be fucking awesome. Those drifts looked amazing with the in-car....especially when he was literally brushing the walls.
This is not drag racing if you noticed. Racing slicks use a softer rubber that gets sticky when it heats up. That's why dragsters do a burn-out prior to their runs. Regular road tires use a harder rubber and are dangerous once the tread wears down.
Oh, hell no. That looks like fun. Dangerous, hell yes. Especially with no barrier between your car and the spectators. Things can and do happen. Terrible things have happened to drivers and spectatiors on the rally stage. Drift is much safer.
@eddy2891 He learns from those who are better then him, but has great passion for what he does and a damn good fan base, KB is good at what he does and makes it look fun for others to watch.
Ken Block now is racing in WRC in 2010 with Ford, so you should be seeing Block at WRC if you go at anytime. I hate Ford, but Ken is still a BA driver.
The WRX has a great engine, but the other piece of the WRX that makes it legendary is the all wheel drive system, which I think is modified for this car...
someone should ask him to run the quarter. all he needs is an iPhone and this app... can't remember the name of it, and a stretch of runway, and we can see. lets do this Price is Right style... I say 11.1 Bob... i mean Drew. lolz
