I sure am envious

but doing that in a RWD car - now that would be balls-out insane...

Very good points. I need seat time.

Hahahaha... Ken Block doesn't do Gymkhana for nothing you know... as DC's top driver, he's been doing some crazy believable drift / going sideways for a few years. How I'd love to be in that car... I always helard Block was a pretty showy individual, but hahaha, that jump was just great.

He's unbelievable, I personally wouldn't want to see him in a car that drives itself aka GT-R, sorry had to poke fun.. But could you imagine his skills in a car engineered to kick ***.. WOW!!! lol

On a real note I would love to see his skills in a strictly RWD car.. not taking away from his god given talent, but that s*it would be impressive!

He's pro rally and also a sport drifter, there's probably a reason he drifts in either AWD or RWD cars.
