without doubt a good driver....

but PR and Marketing (facetube..lol) have made him the bestest ever greatest of all time in any known universe, rally driver?



lol

i'm sure there is at least one or two WRC drivers that could give skaterboy a run.

He's more of a stunt driver than a true rally driver.

More like a movie star then driver im sure those videos are edited more then most blockbusters if hes that good why is he not giving Lobe a run for his money in wrc. I would rate him as a rookie at best his movies look cool but he dosnt seem to cut it in the real world of racing although i here hes not to shabby at gymkhana/autocross but that could be down to the size of his cheque book people who normally run in those events are just average joes.

No doubt he has a lot of talent, probably more for calulated risks rather than rally driving which is pretty much drive as you see it/hear it. I still like to watch and admire his manauvers but yer i think he is more of a very good stunt driver than anything else. Nothing should be taken away from him though. He isnt proclaiming to be a world rally champ its more his ill informed followers.

Facetube, BJ that cracked me up....

He has some serious car control skills and great spatial awareness, i think of him as more of a showman, similar to the X-Games freestyle Moto X riders, guys just having fun.

I don't think he could give any of the WRC guys a run for their money, but he never has said he is a rally god.

Good entertainment, nothing more. Great way to spend your time if you are filthy rich... sounds like a smart guy to me. Unlike myslef who couldn't get the link to embed.....
