Rumours are that Ken Block will be leaving Subaru and heading across to Ford in the WRC. Not sure if it's true... but that Fiesta looks mean!
Article Ken Block I found this pretty cool 2009 slow-motion highlights reel of him too the other day. Ken Block Slow-Mo highlights 2009 Video |

the guy has a cult following and hopefully that will raise the profile of ford if we see some of his gymkhana videos in a focus rs on youtube could bode well for the blue oval

I am sure him switching to Ford will raise Ford's profile but I can't stand the guy. Sorry, I respect his abilities but I just find him cringe worthy.

Doesn't this mean that he'll be the team mate of Aussie Chris Atkinson in the WRC this year?
