Travis tried to make the leap to WRC last year and DNF if I recall. He should have to go the same route as everyone else. Many drivers struggle in JWRC for years before they get a seat with the big boys. I believe he's bitten off more than he can chew. He's found his niche with segways and go karts. Stick to what you know.

Yeah. He was doing alright until he crashed out. He wasn't ready yet and neither is Ken. But he certainly picked the right platform to give it a go. Subaru needs to be careful or they're gonna loose out on all the good press within the next couple year and turn back in to a mountain/snow country only car... an AWD camry.
thems fightin' words!!!

Yeah I made my comment specifically because I knew the Kimster was joining WRC in 2010. I watched the Rally where he crashed the Super2000 car, can't say he did anything wrong as it was most likely just lack of experience. The guy is going to need lots of wheel time in the real deal (the Citroen). He definitely has light years more potential than a youtube all-star. I'd love to see Ken Block try so much as keeping the tire and brake temps up in a modern F1 car, so as not to spin out with every attempt to turn.

then Novikov wins so far. back in 2007 Rally of GB, Ken Block did the following:
stage 1 = 3 minutes behind the leader
stage 2 = crashed out and totaled the his Impreza
granted, Novikov he does crash out quite frequently. but, at least he has finished more than 2 stages.
