Fubar231 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sucks for subaru. Doesnt travis pastrana already drive for ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's a cost savings. Now they only have to change two letters on the car to change it from Kenny Brack to Ken Block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 And with Subaru having bailed out of factory-backed WRC efforts, Block’s options for global competition were limited. i'll bet thats the only reason he switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Cool. WRC is pretty lame now though with having only 2 factory backed manufacturers. I got excited when I saw Skoda in 5th place, a private team. FORD CITROEN FORD FORD CITROEN CITROEN ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Probably didn't have a choice as mentioned above since Subaru pulled from the WRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Probably didn't have a choice as mentioned above since Subaru pulled from the WRC. Seems awfully late for that to be the reason. Subaru hasnt been in it for a while. I think Ford is trying to fix their image, and offered him more $$$ to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Block wasn't in WRC before, he was in Rally America. I'm sure he would take any decent offer on the table that would give him a shot in the WRC. This was talked about a few months ago in a few news releases, but maybe it wasn't finalized until now. Preiously I thought it was a development program with Block and Atkinson running Fiesta's in select events this year, with a full schedule possible in 2011. EDIT: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/15/report-ken-block-heading-to-wrc-with-new-monster-ford-team/ Here's the link to the story that came out back in October.
