I guess Ken Block has more competition than just racing?

I'm actually surprised they finished it.... :lol:
I wonder if they forgot to put anything on the car like an exhaust, brakes, or the usual.
What do you guys think? Do they pose a threat to a podium finish?

Wait... R. millen... is Ryce going or pilot that or is his father? I see an american flag so i would assume its Ryce. I think its great that someone has that much talent to race anything with 4 wheels and be good at it :)

Rhys is driving it. He has done a good chunk of rallying before this.

It's funny because Ken had a car that looked just like that in '04..
| f1vlad | 08-01-2006 10:10 PM |
I love that camuflage colour scheme!
| WhistlerRally | 08-01-2006 10:16 PM |
Rhys is a very real threat to do well. He's a very experienced rally driver before he moved to drifting and film work.

Yeah, Ken was grumbling on the SS or RA forum (I forget which one) about the fact that they're (DVS) a shoe competitor of DC and using the camo sceme :mad:

Atleast competitors can narrow down thier sponsorship short-lists now.. just pitch to energy drink and shoe companies.

That's like Ferrari arguing that nobody should be able to paint their cars red because that's "their" color. :lol:

True, but he was just pointing out that a shoe company used an urban camo painted car last year, and now a different shoe company is using an urban camo scheme painted car this year. Not very imaginative, or trying to ride the recognition of the previous car. Certainly, two companies in different markets (say, shoes & energy drinks) could use similar paint schemes different years and no-one would care.
And generally, in the racing series that Ferrari's are involved in, others generally [i]don't[/i] paint thier cars the same red as Ferrari. :)

It isn't like Ken was complaining because there was an urban camo shoe like one from his brand....
It was a comment directed at the fact that they were imitating some of their branding strategy on their race cars...

Bingo! :)
And probably also the fact that it's the same make and model car, in the same series...

Are we sure Vivid didn't have a hand in building that car?

IMO DVS has always copied more than originated. The gang @ DC is far more innovative and creative.
I bet Vivid didn't touch anything on that car. :lol:

when did that car begin to sport that scheme though?... hmmm?
oh well... whatever the case:
I still gotta root for DC; I'm a Pastrana fan from his MX days and I figure anyone that hooks up that guy like Mr. Block did must show excellent judgement and therefore is added to my list of folks to be fans of.

Maybe, but that doesn't explain why the cars are wrong for Iorio/Holter and Richard/Richard too.

Rhys' car looks like the scheme was stolen from DC and Pat Richard. The camo cutoff portion reminds me of the Pat's Rocket Rally scheme. *sigh*
