Oh Oh, Janvanvurpa is gonna get you now
Beautiful car, nice show, nice quality video.
But "ultimate driving skills"? No way!

I've seen all kinds of racing and driving exhibitions over the years. But this is the best that I've ever seen. I sat with my mouth open for nearly 8 minutes while watching this one.
Hopefully people will check it out. Some vids are a waste of time. I think this one is worth every viewing second."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Personally I prefer this selection:
Russ Swift showing that you don't need the stupid power that Block uses

No massive spaces to get it wrong here

You may have heard of this chap, Ken Block dreams of being as good as the blokes that struggle to stay on terms with him

Block is the master of putting out a video that shows off his skills, but I am sure a few of the other top rally guys could do simliar stuff.
Great car control, but even Ken admits they sometimes do a few takes to get the right look for the camera...
He is a master promotor...because the whole point of these vids is basically a commercial for DC shoes and apparel, which Ken owns...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

and MIO got it in one. He's the master of putting out the best videos. But cut the man a bit of slack, he's allowed to practise :

I'm sure any good rally or drift driver, given a large budget, could easily make better videos than Ken Block. Still, I have to respect him for the stuff he gets up to mokin:

I quite understand the need for safety briefings but the threats and it's how it's being communicated that seems to me extremely heavy-handed. And the similar NW Stages closed-road rally didnt...
