Re: Pastrana leaves Subaru Rally

I think everything here is wrong. Ken Block is in his Rookie year. He is getting acclimated to his new surroundings, his new driving technique. It's all time.

Pastrana would do well in the WRC, I just don't think his maturity level is on par with what Rally demands.

They are both phenominal drivers, just need more experience at the top level of competition before we will see any groundbreaking events come from either of them.

I never said Block wasn't a great driver, he just is not on par to be a top WRC driver at this point. I can definitely see him developing into one given a couple seasons under his belt.

Pastrana would take much longer to groom into becoming a decent WRC driver and even then the maturity level and personality is going to more than likely keep every sponsor car company away.
