Ken Block and the Monster World Rally Team have unveiled today the 2011 Ford Fiesta WRC rally car with which he will compete in this year's season. They have also announced the list of events in which Block will race his new 2011 Ford Fiesta WRC (we're not sure if the girls will be present or not). Apart from the 2011 FIA World Rally Championship, Ken Block will also race his new 2011 Ford Fiesta WRC in this year's Summer X Games, Gymkhana GRID, and various RallyCar rallies and RallyCross events in the USA.
MWRT has also released today a video showing the new Ken Block's 2011 Ford Fiesta WRC, as part of a series which will continue with a new clip tomorrow. Watch lower down this page.
Ken Block also announced today a few new sponsors which will help him in the 2011 WRC efforts: Mobil 1 Extended Performance, Traxxas and GoPro, which will join Monster Energy, Ford, DC Shoes, Pirelli, Dirt3, Spy Optics, Hoonigan, Ryno Organics and Alpinestars.
“2011 is going to be really big for me and the Monster World Rally Team,” says Block “We’re doing more WRC races this year, kicking off the Gymkhana World Tour, racing in Summer X Games, filming Gymkhana 4, plus hitting up a lot of other rally-related events worldwide. We even have a few
top-secret projects in the works. I’m a lucky bastard to be doing all this, it’s going to be an amazing year!”
