But dude, that car is LONG gone and won't be back.


Folks you all got to stop living in the past, technology moves on as do people. Subaru dropped out of rally(WRC), ford stepped up and took their place.

That said, beautiful car, and I wish Ken all the luck in the world in his new spot and new team.

2013 turbo and AWD will be released in the US. Ford has already said in a press release.

*edit* some of the recent articles are pointing out that may be moved up to 2011

If Sebastian Loeb is back in '10 Block has 5% chance of success and will get *** raped by REAL talent and not gymkhana wannabe youtube videos. Although the videos are entertaining they're nothing more than that.

Also while Kimi is new to WRC I think he will do a much better job than Block as well.

I think people don't give Ken Block enough credit, EVERY NEW DRIVER GETS THEIR ASSES KICKED!

He's following his dreams, no he's not the best, he admits that, he just wants to race WRC because that's what he wants. Stop hating and respect someone who's attained their goals.

I heard what he said but it's going to take a few seasons to get good before he thinks of becomming great. And I do think he has talent, but people put him on a pedestal just because he can do tricks and jump dirt mounds.

Real WRC drivers in no particular order...

- Stig Blomqvist
- Tommi Mäkinen
- Sebastian Loeb
- Richard Burns
- Colin McCrae
- Carlos Sainz

Oh and I'll say what I want when I want regarding a driver because this is 'Merica!

Nope.

It was a disappointing end to an otherwise impressive race, one where Block was consistently in the top 10 and moving in and out of the top 5 until his slight miscalculation.
On day one of his FIRST race ever of WRC he finishes in the top ten, and that was including nailing a rock that cost him over a minute. Even though he crashed out on Day 2 he was already doing better than the first day, thats a pretty damn good start that should silence the haters
