France is not only known as the home for Eiffel Tower, fashion savvy people, french kiss or french bread. Because even in the heart thumping sports of rally racing, they have their fair share of fame. And this is brought to them by Sebastian Loeb, the country's knight of Legion of Honour. The last phrase you've read is a proof that he is great worldwide.

Ken Block Switches From Subaru To Ford

You’ve probably seen this video a thousand times dubbed countless other times; but still, you probably can’t help watching it over and over again, especially if it comes out with some new material. The Adolf Hitler ‘Downfall parodies’ have been nothing short of hilarious and the latest one, which involves Hitler’s reaction when he finds out that rally car driver Ken Block has switched from his beloved Subaru to Ford is arguably one of the best versions we’ve seen. We don’t know who to feel worse for; Hitler for seeing Subaru lose its driver to the ‘enemy’ or Subaru for having Hitler as a fan. But hey, at least Travis Pastrana has a new fan now. Trust us; the video is a must-watch and if you’ve got a few minutes to spare, we invite you to check it out; it’s worth the laughs.
