The driving is one thing. I won't discount Ken Block's skill but the whole thing does lose a bit of its charm once you realize it's done with several takes.

I'm fascinated by the diverse kinds of tricks and conditions that these videos take place in. The banked road was my favorite as trying to maneuver the car while on that steep of a slant looks really awesome. The 2nd video incorporated a lot of very unique elements as well.

Really cool stuff.

Ken block is a boss. If I got to choose the Top Gear America hosts it would include Block for sure! Pastrana would also be in the mix.
