Most liked posts in thread: Ken Block to campaign a Ford Focus next season in WRC

I hope this gets Ford to bring the fun models over here with Block drumming up the publicity, kinda like how they used Vaughn Gittin Jr. in some of their Mustang ads.

 

the ford focus's are actually raelly good rally cars.
im sure regardless of car, ken block will dominate the course.
he's an awesome driver nonetheless

maybe...
he'll make a gymkhana with a ford focus
lol

 

Oh, I don't know about all that. WRC seems to be a beast of a different kind. Going from one racing discipline to another is always challenging and I am sure WRC is even more so. Nonetheless, now that WRC is available for broadcast (and I hope they continue it next season) it will be fun to watch.

 

Now that is cool!

Wonder which rallies he will run?

 

Same ones as Kimi, I am sure. :devil:

 

:lol:

 

My wife and I were just discussing the lack of an American in the WRC and the reasons behind it. I told her that either Block or Pastrana would get the call, even though there are more talented drivers stateside (just none as famous). We had this chat New Year's Eve....there was a show on HD Theater called 'Daring Drives' - basically the ten most impressive performances in WRC over its history.

 

I watched that. It was good. I am sure just like F1, WRC is dependent on sponsor money a driver can bring to the seat on top of his talent.

 

From what I can tell it will be a new WRC team sponsored by the Monster Energy drink.

 

that's awesome. Those AWD Turbo Fiesta are soo bad a$$... watched the last X-games and the Fiestas basically cleaned out the Evo and STi's (which i'm partial to, btw)... but those souped up Fiesta earned their spots on the podium.

I wish Ford would bring some more of their bad a$$ cars to the states... they have some many nice looking cars in Europe that are not available to the US consumers

 

If they would bring the RS over here as is not some wanna be cheeze ball version it would be a huge hit.. yea it would kill the mustang.. but uhhhh it's a better car!!!
