You guys do know that Ken Block's vids are edited, meaning he probably had to do multiple retakes and reruns.
Nevertheless, the man can drive.
I love that part when his rear tires were inches from the edge of the pier. That's poetry in motion.

Unbelievable!!! What a talent. From technical stand point: How long do the tires last and what tires do they use? There must be some preferences the drifters have in this department. Holy cow, when he comes up to the edge of the seawall and you can tell by the previous tracks he always controls the sideways motion. Besides the tremendous skill I wonder what's the weight of the car to HP ratio would be to obtain this kind of slide?

the temperatures must be so high due to the spin of the tires and hitting the brakes all the time. I wish there would be some info on those elements. Then I will reach for my trusty drill to do some justice.
to keep the brakes cooler... they drill holes in the rotors... and drill some holes in the bumper and run a vent pipe to the brakes.

But in general, you'd want tires that wouldn't grip at all in the back and proper grip in the front to control the drift, something like the crappy Kumho's
