    Clearly, sharing a track with others and not smoking is too much for a Finn to bear.

    I am sure we will see him again. He just is too talented to be ignored.

    I know he is not the most charming driver on the track but so what? I do like his I don't give a flying fu$k attitude. It's actually a very refreshing change from all the nincompoops out there. Blah..blah..blah...cry...whimper...complain...

    He doesn't have to like cars to do F1. As long as he delivers who gives a crap about whether he is passionate about cars or not. At the end of the day it still is a job. Yes, it's fun, very demanding, awesome and all the other stuff. But nonetheless still a job. He wouldn't be where he was without him being good.

    I will take Kimi over that cry baby Alonso any day of the week.

    He'll probably enjoy himself more and is still being paid $15m by Ferrari for walking away. I'd say that's a good deal.

    Could just walk. Or take the bus. I understand the subways are also very good, if you're close to a station.

    If you're just in it for the money, commute like everybody else.

    Chatter around rallying blogs has indicated that Kimi would be driving for Fiat/Abarth, whose return to the WRC has been rumored for a while now.

    @scroggzilla raids again: It'd be nice to get another factory team in there. Citroen and Ford are just a bit boring, needs a bit more thrown in there.

    Maybe finally there will be someone to beat that french rallying robot Sebastien Loeb.

    @2Wheelsor4: The Moto-Stig: The other rumored manufacturer to be joining the WRC is Volkswagen.

    I'll be curious to see how the new WRC Super 2000 cup is going to affect things. Lot's of manufacturers have cooked up Super 2000 spec rally cars (Honda, Toyota, VW, Peugeot, Skoda, Proton, Fiat/Abarth and Opel) and the difference between FIA Super 2000 specifications and the 2010 WRC spec is not a large one.

    As kick-to-the-jaw awesome as the Group B beasts were, the rear-drive machinery that preceded them (Escort RS, Ascona 400, 131 Abarth, Sunbeam Lotus, et al) were just as rad, IMO. #kenblock

    This is great.
    For the past years (I'm thinking 1997-2008), the so-called "money years", the emphasis culturally in our world has been on money, bling, luxury and other superficial marketing-based crap; this translated "automotively" in super expensive flashy customs and racing trends such as "drifting" and all that other fast n furious inspired crap.
    Now that we're all broke, those values aren't so dominant anymore and I hope that people will gravitate towards more authentic stuff such as grassroots racing and maybe rally racing.

    Jalopnik has always more or less understood that, but videos like this one might convince the wider public.
    So +1 mr Block #kenblock

    Psst...Block and Atkinson have been reported to be the drivers for the new Monster Energy Drink WRC team for the upcoming WRC season. Scuttlebutt says they'll be driving select events in an '09 Focus WRC before going to the WRC Spec Fiesta and a full calender the following year. If true, than that makes this "team building"....and a whole lot of fun. #kenblock
