Have you heard of this Ken Block fellow? He sells shoes. Occasionally he gets some time off from the shoe business to drive rally cars. He's pretty good at it. So good in fact Ford gave him a Focus RS to pilot in WRC. Here's some footage from the race in Mexico, neat stuff.

He's definitely got some talent, but there are plenty of talented drivers more deserving. But then again, when you've got a lot of money and sponsorship dollars it doesn't matter right? Block has how many Rally America victories, 7? Travis Pastrana has four consecutive Rally America championships. Before Pastrana, Patrick Richard had two in a row. Both are more talented drivers. Chris Atkinson needs a drive doesn't he? Good luck Block, I really wish you the best of luck but the only person less deserving of a WRC seat than you is Ole Matty Wilson.
