No more Subaru for Ken Block

Block is also gonna be the first american to compete in the WRC. Didn’t Subaru pull out of WRC? Is that why this is happening?

how weird, i was just thinking the other day on my drive home how much ken block/pastrana/dc is probably helping subaru in the US and how much viral advertising they get from it…

i wonder what it would be like if i won the mega millions…

anyways, my guess is you are right as to why he switched to ford, i wouldn’t want to be driving two different types of rally cars in the same season.

A Ford Fiesta S2000?

Does it have the Honda S2000 engine, or could they seriously not come up with something else? Out of all the letters and number combinations they picked something that already existed?

Still looks pretty mean though… for a fiesta…

Sorta OT, but I was driving by the red roof inn on Transit over the weekend and the Red Bull truck was there and in tow was 2 Red Bull STi. They are some nice looking vehicles!

There’s some clips of the ford in this video:

I doubt Ford would even LET him drive a subaru in the US

That’s not Ford’s designation. That’s from FIA - Super 2000. 2000cc displacement.

this is rubbish

wow, he’s 42.

x2

Sweet vid :bigtup:

that car is so ugly. o boy

Dave Mirra is replacing Block as the Driver for Subaru/Vermont sports car.

Why Dave Mirra? Why not give someone up and coming a chance?

cause its dave mirra and hes XXXTREME!!!

He isn’t very good and there are much better rally drivers that would win but the big name with get the lil kids drinking monster.

False. Very, very false. From wrc.com:

"…becoming the first American driver to make a multi-year commitment to the series. "

See: John Buffum (John Buffum - Wikipedia)

I can never again hear the name Dave Mirra without laughing. I am going to have to tell him the story about Lee when we see him this year.

A) it’s spelled HEAR not here
B) omg u n dave M are friends? yea ull have 2 tell him that story when u see him cuz u guys r good friends. Don’t forget to tell ur other 2 best frinds tony hawk and travis pastrana about ur hilarius story about lee.

What an awful post.

First off, suck a dick.

Second, I guess you had to be there.

im legit bummed to see block in a ford…

but its going to be awesome to see how he does in the WRC

Meh, ford asked me to drive but I told them I was busy
