Default Ken Block racing in World Rally Championship on Dave Channel now!

Was on last night (which I missed) but is on at 7pm on Dave Channel (or 8pm on Dave+1)

was nice to see petter do well, susprising how the fords couldn't cope with the lower power because of the altitude and maybe thats why i thought block looked very ordinary. he had a quick chat on motors tv and said that he's not quite sure how to drive the focus as the handling is totally different to what he had in the scoob, he has to drive slower to get quicker times whereas he used to boot the scoob and throw it around to get the best from it.

Yeah I do like Petter Solberg, a good personality. I really do miss the Subarus and Evos in it though!

Are you really that surprised about his lack of talent?
It would be the same regardless what car Block was in - its one thing fannying about in a big open space

Block seemed surprised at just how difficult proper car driving is. Maybe if theyd had some pyrotechnics on the corners, he wouldnt have misjudged it and slid off like a girl.

Nice to see Petter doing well, but like Matt said, its a bit dull seeing Citroen after Citroen and Ford after Ford go flying by.

Come on Subaru, get your **** back in the game.

Agreed, wasn't full of himself either and knew he was in for a challenge.

WRC guys are the best of the best.... Block is a talented show-boater... he was in awe of them in the pre-rally run up... he'd have been lucky to get top 10

I was very surprised when he was interviewed very respectful and he seemed to have a lot of respect and appreciation for the WRC. He has gone from a group N to a full wrc spec car he seemed to do well on day three
