he is a different breed of driver and tbh...im sure with the same amount of practice on one circuit many non-pro's could do somthing as spectacular...
he is actually thoughrly un-impressive in WRC
look at the amount of rubber on the ground how many practises has he had there... lots... hence why he's good at it.
rally you get one chance and he frequienly stuffs it up

^^ Can't deny he isn't much kop compared to certain others in the WRC on one time runs, but his ability with a car is very controlled! Admittedly many other WRC/pro drivers could probably do the same if they wanted to video it but still impressive...especially around the guy on the segway motor!

so, when you next see 17 year old Jordan-Kyle out in his mums hot magenta mk7 5 door shopping trolley attempting j-turns in the car park at ASDA, you can say you've sort of seen something similar in real life.
awesome skills though

This. And 700bhp in a stripped Fiesta, it's not exactly gonna be hard to make lots of smoke, even with 4wd...

Yeah but he's a personality, which is more than can be said for the likes of Loeb and Solberg. Who cares if he isn't great? I guarantee that more people watch WRC because he is in it than because they enjoy it.
could watch that all day lol
