I have a Ken Block Ford Focus RC Rally car and watched this man drive many times on the track and gymkhana. I am saddened that my favorite rally legends like Colin McRae and Ken both shared untimely deaths. Rest in Peace. I wont forget you.

Never knew the guy or got to meet him, but after I beat NFS 2015 I saw most of his gymkhana videos. That solidified my interest in cars and I think began my interest in motorsports. From what I’ve seen, he seems like a cool, genuinely passionate dude, too. Rest In Peace.
