Kimi v Ken

Kimi Raikkonen is a former F1 champ. He doesn’t smile. Ken Block is a rallying hero. He is Very Sideways.

Now these two leviathans of their sport have come together, For Sure, in an epic match-up of simply gladiatorial proportions.

At the 44th Rally de Portugal a ‘Super Special’ stage was constructed and these two were pitted against one another.

For Sure, it sounds cool. For Sure, it should be epic. But, well, it’s a little bit boring, no?

Actually, they both had exactly the same time of 2:11.0 and the race was officially tied. go to WRC.com for timesheets for SS1.

Never thought Kimi had talent in rallying aswell, he seems to be a very good racing driver if he can drive both F1 and rally cars
