I love watching Ken. This is totally impressive stuff. Imagine the tire wear cost, the busted gear box cost, the wear on clutches, etc. LOL

I have a video with James May and Ken Block that is very good as well. I wonder what Jezza would have done with this Ken Block had he been riding in the car VS James? That would have been funny. Especially after Jezza popped his neck out driving the Nissan GTR.

If I were riding my segway and somebody did that to me I'd be mad.

Well... I've tried it several times and can't seem to make it work. Maybe I should move this post to the Fail thread.

Ken is impressive.

I saw an interview with Ken and he said the hardest thing to do was the drift up and around the cone towards the end. He said with the 51° banking and the roof of the car, he could not even see the cone until he was right up on it. Took a few tries to get it right.

Absolute awesome driving skills!!
