Ken Block @ Sno*Drift 2010 in his new Ford Fiesta Rally Car

Ken Block racing his new Fiesta rally car for the first time in competition. It was glare ice everywhere in Atlanta, MI where the rally stages took place so everyone took it easy. Block even said it was the worst conditions he's ever rallied on ever in an interview with Rally America. Unfortunately for Ken, he hit something on stage not long after this stage and broke his suspension, putting him out of this rally.

The New Ford Fiesta Rally car he's driving is the same car Marcus Gronholm drove in Pikes Peak and Brack in the X-Games last year (2009). The car made close to 800hp then, but with the restrictor needed to meet Rally America rules, it was only making around 350hp, but remember it only weighs about 2000lbs. The car was prepared and supported by Olsberg MSE out of Sweden.

Studded tires are not allowed in Rally America so driving on glare ice was VERY tricky and everyone had to go fairly slow.

y en el momento que grabaste el vídeo iva con los neumáticos sin clavos?

[typhoon5000]

Yes, all cars did not have studded tires throughout the entire rally.

@fchapp but it was his first winter rally, not easy to compete in the rally drivers who have driven on winter roads since a young age. but a good run for the first time.

[fchapp]

If you looked at the gear selector, he was in 6th at one point, in those cars, that around 110MPH.. on snow.. guess you know what you are talking about, he didn't go fast at all...

[avecka]

He did not go fast! He is going to get run over and overtaken by the real drivers including those in lower classes. He does not know what he is getting into to

Thatäs really all what Block can do, drifting. And that has nothing to do with real rallying!
