Very funny reactions from the passengers.
The first time I ever saw Ken Block driving in person, I was a corner worker at the 100 Acre Woods rally. I could hear him coming for more than a minute before he arrived. The course was a winding gravel road in the Mark Twain national forest, covered with ice, and zero runoff. The way he approached the corner, already sideways and on the gas as he came into view, I was convinced that I was going to witness a spectacular crash. I'm pretty sure I yelled the F word and sought cover behind a stout tree.
I was amazed to see him fly through the corner easily, with a rooster tail of rocks and ice behind.
The dude is not just a great driver, he really does make it look like he is completely out of control pretty much all of the time.
