I think pro rally drivers can't necessarily do the same thing, but nor do I think Block can race with them. Block and them are in totally different categories of racing.

Also, Block had lots of practice runs since he took many people (From Monster, some mags, and the winner in the NASOIC contest) out for the ride. It's in the bonus footage. During his practices, he only had one big oops, that destroyed the left rear quarter panel.

The first one was multiple runs pieced together.....If anybody notices that in the first one the camera on the car is placed at various positions during certain manuevers.

No problem. First one was good, this one just had more breath taking scenes (like the part where he's inches away from going into the water. hehehe.
