Video: Block and load
As we reported a couple of weeks ago, Gymkhana hero Ken Block will race for Ford in the WRC next year.
This is good news... unless you're James May, who is currently refusing to answer his phone in case Mr Block is on the look-out for a co-driver.
If you're wondering how he'll will fare against the likes of Sebastien ‘Driving God' Loeb, Mikko Hirvonen and Jari-Matti Latvala, take a look at this clip of the Blockster in action, breaking his own stage record at the New England Forest Rally in his Impreza STI.
It is, as the bogans say, proper tidy. We love the quad headlights peeking out above the bonnet, too.
So, on the basis of this evidence, do you think Block is quick enough to challenge Super Seb in the WRC? Thoughts please. And roll on 2010...

Ken Block is the best driver I have ever seen. The videos of him on youtube are amazing, and I'd love to one day ride shot-gun with him

There is no doubt about Blocks ability - however Mr Loeb is a truly gifted driver - with the ability to to post fast times in any conditions,im not sure block will do so well in the snow and ice, Sebastian thinks way ahead on the stage-and stays cool under bad conditions that get worse.!! That said Blocks amazeing car control will certainly keep him right up there ! 2010 is gonna be good!!!!
