Rallycross driver, Gymkhana star and legendary "Hoonigan" Ken Block is extending his factory partnership with Ford Performance to pursue the 2016 FIA World Rallycross Championship.
Block stands out as one of the top competitors in the world of Global Rallycross coming within five points of winning the 2014 championship. In 2015, Block scored three events wins, led the championship for 10 of the 12 rounds and was the leading points contributor in helping Ford secure its 5th Global Rallycross Manufacturers Championship.
In 2014, Block competed in his first World Rallycross round in Norway, where he celebrated a podium finish (3rd) in his maiden event. He then followed up with an appearance at the 2014 French round, finishing fourth overall and setting the fastest lap of the event. With his renewed partnership with Ford Performance, as well as their factory support, the team’s goal is to compete for a world title.
Block and Ford Performance will begin their pursuit of a World Championship when the 2016 WorldRX race calendar kicks off in Portugal, April 16 and 17.
