KEN BLOCK EXPLAINS HIS RALLY AMERICA CHAMPIONSHIP ENDING CRASH AT LSPR 2013

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

See how and why Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino's Rally America title chase came to an abrupt, and brutal, end back in October at their final event, the Lake Superior Performance Rally.
Due to two simple letters ("in") missing in his pace notes on one of the final stages of the event, Block and Gelsomino ended up cart wheeling down one of the final stages of the season, end over end, before coming to a stop against a tree. The missing "in" allowed Block to go slightly wide around a very safe looking corner where his rear wheel went into the weeds and got caught up on a small clump of dirt, sending the Ford Fiesta HFHV into the air. While the crash was violent, the pair were fortunate to walk away from the championship-ending incident with minimal injury.

    Lol at all the Ken Block haters. None of you could do even 1% of what he does. Period. Sitting at home making bad comments about this gentlemen does not make you look like a badass, it just shows how stupid and jealous you are. Read more about how Ken Block started and his whole race career. See how he was present since the beginning of some major rally events in the U.S. such as Rally America (2005). Read about the whole rally scene in the U.S. back in 2005 and how it has evolved till today. He didn't grow up in Finland or other parts of the world were the rally culture is present. It's easy to criticize someone, just make sure you do proper research before unleashing your comments online. Oh, and, by the way, he is a real rally driver.

    Жыл бұрын

    Because they would come with major compromises, including being much less comfortable, not to mention making it difficult to impossible for older or overweight people to even get in. You'd also need to be wearing a helmet and possibly harness to prevent being flung around and hitting your body on the rollcage, they'd reduce the effect of crumple zones, and presumably various other reasons. People that aren't impact injured in a normal car that rolls severely can still get serious injuries from the tumbling. Rally etc drivers are tightly strapped in, and wear a variety of safety gear. They're good for racing conditions, not nearly so good for normal driving conditions.
