and unfortuatly mechanical problems halted him on first day

I've seen some interviews with Ken now and I appreciate his humbleness. He says himself that he is nowhere near the top WRC drivers but he hopes to some day come close to where the top talent is. Thats a good attitude to have before this year.
I guess the problem I have with his effort and the exposure Ken has gotten is that most of the people that talk about it are Americans and don't actually know much about the WRC. They call themselves rally-fans but think that X-Games "heroes" like Block, Pastrana and Mirra are top drivers. Compared to WRC-talent, they're more Wilson than Loeb... "Fans" often link to silly videos like the Gymkhana ones or various X-Games indoor stadium show-off races to prove their skills but with the amount of black tire marks on the asphalt in the Gymkhana videos you can see how many tries he used to get the tricks right. With 50 attempts even I could pull of some of those moves.

Either way, I welcome Block to the WRC. He definitely adds some color and publicity to the series. I don't expect any results but I'll be happy if he beats Matthew.

Very good and nice post

Anything about Atkinson, will he drive or not?

[Motorsportfun]

Looks like he'll have a consultant role, then (with a good budget) could arrange a WRC programme for 2011 as Block's team-mate.

Block won the 100 Acre wood rally for the 5th time.
