This exactly, he gets too aggressive in all the races I have seen him in and end up wrecking his car.

It depends on the co-driver. Rallying is all about listening.
If the co-driver knows his left seat is aggressive it is up to him to change the pace notes and keep the driver under control.

If Kenny can't listen to whoever is in the right seat he won't last more than a race or two.

I think that is one of the best ones.

There are some drivers that constantly want to be pushed. A driver that "wants to go faster" and has made up his mind will not listen to advice of slowing down. Of course, if you as a co-driver are like-minded in the desire to go faster, is there actually an issue (besides running out of talent or from the subsequent consequences running out of money if that is an issue)?

For Ken, he appears to have a luxury few have: time and money to do what he wants, when he wants, at the pace he wants

Will his WRC run be short if he crashes his first two events... I don't know, how many times did Jarri screw up (and not in a small way either) last year? How much money does Ken himself bring to the equation? Monster (the main backer of the team) is looking for pure exposure, which they don't really have at the WRC level. Ken brings a fanbase with him to WRC. Seems win-win whether he crashes or not (crashing is probably a better ROI lol).

I kick his but all the time in Dirt 2 and I am just an average driver. Therefore Ken Block is a below avg driver.

j/k

More americans in WRC is a very good thing. That sport deserves more attention. Awesome racing.
