Trophy Truck vs. Rally Car - Ken Block Drives Both. Which one's faster?

[@nesbittracing1081]

Watching the rally car vs the trophy truck is like watching a surgeon use a scalpel and then a hammer in the same operation. Love it

Like BJ has said, trophy trucks aren't particularly quick off the line. Where they shine is just not having to slow down for anything.

[@prospectorsoils1240]

Pretty interesting. I have a feeling the fast desert guys could give Ken a pretty good run for his money head to head TT vs Rally. Ken needs more seat time in the TT!

[@Ganiscol]

Not on a typical Rallye stage, though. Its not so much the driver that is the limiting factor here but rather the car. A TT just cant go as fast around corners as a Rallye car can on a gravel surface. Too much travel, too high center of mass on top of it... as he said, it feels like a boat. These vehicles are purpose built, thats why a TT can run circles around a Rallye car off-road, the more the rougher the terrain gets.

If the organisers allows it, some of those off-road tyres (not sure which one but I've heard from my rally community in my country) can actually destroys the gravel roads unless the trucks run similar tyres like the ones on the rally cars.
