Default Ken Block

Anyone upset about Ken Block moving to Ford.Don't think Gymkhana 3 will be as good without Subaru.

Its not going to matter if he keeps on crashing

Once he has found his feet, it would be nice to see him in a Scoobie. That was primarily the issue Subaru had, their drivers were just not quite good enough

Sadly the couldnt provide a serious WRC car for him. So who can blame him for moving where he can get a competitive car.

He might be good around an airfield but on WRC events he's really struggling. Hopefully he'll eventually get the hang of it soon.

Ken Block is all about hype

If you want an American who can drive a Subaru, and is a celeb aswell, look no further than Travis Pastrana

Well.........

Petter isn't doing too badly this year in a private Citreon now is he? Podium finishes.

Think it was more to do with the car being ****, than the drivers being ****. But I do suppose, once your (driver) confidence in the car starts to diminish, then your times won't be as good as they might have been.
