It has been said, though, that Ken Block's brand of "rally" sport can have a bit of a distracting influence. Although he is using a rally car in his Gymkhana videos, and he does go sideways a lot, it's not exactly rally racing. And as far as I know, when Block has entered into actual rally competition, he's not been able to really take the world by storm. Although
there can be no absolutely denying by anyone that Ken Block is an unbelievable driver, I think more respect goes to the madmen who raced the Group B cars. After all, when they were driving, they didn't get to do turns individually with multiple takes to make a movie, they just went onto roads they'd never seen before, and did it. Gymkhana is like a great hollywood movie, true rally racing is like Whose Line. The special effects are better in the former, but it's much more difficult to perform well in the latter. Most importantly, though, is the takes. If Ken screws up, he hits a wall, totals his car, and maybe gets injured very badly. If one of the ye olde rally drivers goes off the course, the car will either mow down 150 spectators and spew blood and guts out the exhaust, or it will careen off the edge of an unbelievable cliff to certain death. That's why Group B was around for such a short period of time.
