Just noticed this video has already had 1.5 million views in less than two days!
I like the look and sound of the new WRC Fiesta too. Sounds angrier than the WRC Focus that it'll replace next year.

t's not quite as showy as the previous videos, but good nonetheless.
I wonder how many dollars worth of tyres he shredded in that last shot/scene.

It's not bad for a WRC driver but did anybody notice the heavy knock on the wall coming out of the compound. Poor effort, if that was on a stage and the wall was a tree he'd be saying goodbye to any points or his car for the whole rally.

Which could explain why Ken Block hasn't finished too many WRC rallys this year.
Keep in mind though, that these videos are very carefully put together. They're not one single run, but a paste-up of many different bits. That scene where he clips the wall could have been included deliberately, perhaps with the aim of raising the tension.

Yeah, I reckon it was intentionally left in. These are show videos, not point for point competition vids. Was a pretty good bump too.
Also, gotta love the 0-60mph time of 1.9 seconds. What a beast of a Fiesta.

These are the cars WRC should be running to get some life back in to it!
I reckon Ken was trying pretty hard in this video. A 'full on' race car like that, even on road tyres would need a heck of a lot of comittment and speed to slide around, see his face in a few points to see the concentration and adrenaline.
