they're all good lol, but either the green one with the neons or the car that had the camera in were the better ones imo

ken block does a bit more than drifting though ;)

fair enough they have had work done, but im trying to stress the point that the manual boxes and handbrakes are still present etc. im not saying ken isnt any good but just overrated.

kem block has a sequential box
its still manual (as all rally cars are)
as fot the handbrake he runs a hydraulic

granted his car is built to a good standard
but how do you think he learnd the car controll hes got?

answer
in a lower spec car

only reason hes got the current scooby is corperate sponsorship from massive companies

Ken Block is impressive to watch because of DC Shoes and Monster. He is over rated and i agree with KC he can suck balls. I mean water balloons and paintball guns..... give me Stuntman Mike

Keiichi Tsuchiya is another great driver to watch!!!!

That was some wicked drifting but I prefer Ken Block because of the alround driving not just rear wheel big power cars the japanese are drifting. good video though

Who is better at drifting ?? . . . You mean who is better at showing off infront of their mates whilst achieving absolutely nothing ?? How do you define better anyway ?? These guys certainly aren't the fastest or most efficient . . . By no means the most precise. I seriously doubt they have any idea what the term track craft means. Are they getting closest to the Armco in the turns ?? Nope . . . Are they optimising their line/brakingpoints to make the most of their wearing tyres ect ?? Nope . . .

There are a million different things a real driver has to think about during a race other than 'don't hit the armco' 'are my mates still looking at me' 'is my bodykit still attached' . . . In order to be 'better' you have to compete in some way right ?? . . . These guys may be better at entertaining a crowd of 17 year olds but then again twice as many people would probably rather watch WWF than any kind of motorsport so that's nothing to go by . . .

Ken block is better . . .

Peace

They're good but to be 'better' would mean

Ken Block is overrated,I f you watch his videos, You'll see the tyre marks from him practicising every corner 20 times before the take. He's infact a shit rally driver.

just to drive in the WRC you got to be a good driver .

i reckon that ken blocks good, but these cars the japs are driving aren't as quick and rwd, where as blocks is a purpose built 4wd rocket which is faster and probably more aggressive overall, but the japs are stunt drivers i guess and don't necessarly drive as fast as possible where as block is a racing driver who just loves to mess about sometimes, so you cant compare them unless they were doing the exact same thing like rallying or drifting in big groups or whatever. but thats just my opinion

just to drive in the WRC you got to be a good driver .

The most bollox statement i have ever heard, My step dad was gonna enter the welsh round of the WRC this year but didnt because of the massive entry fee and a few other regs.

Anybody with enough money can enter, It has nothing to do with the driver, Hence Ken brick doing it.

As above, you can't compare them as they're 2 totally different disciplines of motorsport.

Ken is a good driver. But he isn't the best out there. I believe if Colin McRae and Richard Burns were still around they'd show him how to drive properly. He is over-rated... but that doesn't mean he isn't good.

Like said its nothing like the driveing that ken block dose as he is a ralluy driver and their drifters, two differnt skills but he dose well saying he drifts a 4wd, that vids nothing like a night in manchester in the sierra lol

Looking at the state of their cars and the barriers dont think theyre the best if you want to see good drifters watch the true jap drift championships. if you want to see some good rally drivers look up mccrea or any of the old group b watch the group b in spain then you'll see drifting round spectators or just watch loeb on tarmac
