:eek:

Nice after what Subaru did to market his name.

:eek:

What's the big deal? Subaru doesn't run in WRC any more.

Wonder if Kimi will beat him.

Citroen ftw!

i wish mitsubishi would win lol but they dropped out too didnt they?

<3 Ford Fiesta WRC

ken block in wrc.....good luck.

He's a fail driver? He fails in the lower level rally's so he's just gonna fail more... Unless he's gotten much better.

they're only 2 constructors left anyways with mitsu and subie out. i'm sure if subie was still in, ken block would still be racing for them.

So this means there are going to be 3 works sponsored Ford teams???

Ford Abu Dhabi team
VK Stobart Ford team
and now Monster Energy drinks Ford team


As for Ken Block being a "fail" driver in N. America, I thought he was a US champ? Regardless, I don't know if he has what it takes to duke it out w/ the world's best in the WRC. Many have tried, but not many succeed.

Ken Block is over 40 years old. A little late to be getting in WRC.

I can't tell if Ford is trying to market Ken Block or if they think he will actually win races.

Agreed.

Stacked up to the current WRC grid, Block is going to look like a complete amateur.

I suppose it's a nice way of marketing the Fiesta now that it's going to be on North American dealer lots. Take one of the energy drink boys to pitch your car and toss some videos onto Youtube.

well good luck to him. im sure any wrc driver with a little practice on the course can do what he did in his videos tho.

I'm really wondering what he can do.

Let the guy actually drive before you make any opinions in his WRC career.
