not sure but I think he accidentally clipped the limiter once in there

I lol'd, yeah just a few times. A bit low on tread there at the end there too.

Ken hasn't excelled at WRC since he joined, still doing OK for a first year but he's doing a shit load better than Kimi

Ken Block is more than just a WRC driver, he's the creator of the DC shoes brand and an entrepreneur, hence why all his cars and vids have DC as sponsor.

If you guys have foxtel, check out Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy factory, he makes a few appearances with Dyrdek with the WRX and a Go kart called Gymkhana 2.1

Not sure why people bag the bloke.

If i had 20mil in the bank id be building crazy cars and doing stuff like that everyday :)

Id least with the sponsorship he would be making coin out of it.

I just don't think he has a ridiculous amount of ability, he seems like a wanker in a high powered car to me. Sure he's got decent skill but if I had hours a day to chew through tyres in a 600hp+ car I would be able to drive as well.

Want to impress me? Do it on a virgin track, with no old tyre marks from previous runs in sight. Do it in one take rather than splicing the best footage from several runs together. But maybe I'm just jealous because he's doing it and I'm not :blink:

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
