Nice driving & drifting skills in the new Fiesta!

I've been hearing about this video on every channel from CNBC to Bloomberg to CNN. But I hadn't seen it yet til now. Usually I won't watch a YouTube video that's longer than about 3 minutes, but I didn't move an inch during this one! Great stuff! Thanks for posting it! What's even more amazing than Ken Block's driving skills and the great camera work & editing is the fact that he was able to do this on the public streets of San Francisco (of all places!).

I drive my Fiesta through the streets of Edinburgh like that all the time

This is awesome. These rally cars have become my favourite event at the X Games.

Considering Block's performance on the WRC.I wonder if the likes of Loeb & Hirvonen could
do better here :dunno:

That's a really good question. I don't watch WRC much anymore. But I heard that Block was less than stellar there. I think what that probably shows is that the guys at the top of WRC are on a whole different level than stunt and drifting drivers. Block actually designs and lays out his exhibition courses and practices his moves. He couldn't really do that in WRC. He puts on a great show though. I'd say Loeb and Hirvonen could probably go through one of Block's courses faster than Block (which is the advantage they had over Block in the WRC), but I'm not sure whether they could put on as good a wheel spinning, smoke show or not. :dunno:

Great question though! :thumbsup:
