general PoV amongst the rally crowd is that he is not that good...
He is just a marketing machine..

A year or so ago he turned up for some Ford WRC event with 7 or 8 or so guys in tow, couple of PR bods, Video man, camera man, director, sound guy etc etc.
one WRC driver turn to his PR guy (a mate of mine, who does the YT stuff, tweets etc etc) n said, wtf! by mate returned with 'hmmm...maybe I should invoice more'

Block couldnt even put in a even half decent time apparently.

Fair enough, I know he's not the best when it comes to the WRC, but then he does what he clearly enjoys and has brought the Gymkhana scene from pretty much nothing to a multi-million pound franchise, and if we are all honest we do enjoy watching those youtube clips

I salut the man, never take him to seriously and enjoy his vids!

Indeed - the man found a niche and has made a good few bob out of it, whilst having a bloody good laugh.
So good luck to him.

He's over hyped in WRC type events - infact pretty useless.
Pretty good at sliding around in car parks and spinning round things
