Last week, we had the opportunity if watching Ken Block’s debut with Monster World Rally Team and Ford Racing in the new Fiesta. Of course you’ll remember Ken from his world-famous videos Gymkhana 1 and 2 which have reached well over 25 million views combined.

Block will be campaigning a ’11 Ford Fiesta based a model built by Olsbergs Motorsports Evolution in the Rally America series. The AWD-converted car is capable of 490hp and 553 lb-ft with a top speed of 155mph.

Block’s first event was Sno*Drift in Northeast Michigan where he finished third after the first day but failed to complete the second day due to mechanical failure. We had the opportunity of watching three passes during the rally which can be found at our youtube page - www.youtube.com/eurotuner
