For those interested, Rally Mexico was last weekend. Rally Mexico is Ken Blocks debut into the world of WRC. They will be playing the highlights from the rally this weekend on HDT (HD Theatre). Two weeks ago was the start of the WRC season with Rally Sweden. Rally Sweden introduced Kimi Raikkonen to the world of WRC. He finished in like 34th place. Will be interesting to see how Ken Block does this weekend.
I find it interesting that Block opted to skip on the first two events (which are SNOW events)... but Kimi wasn't afraid to do them. I heard he had a few incidents with snow banks.
That is odd. We all know for a fact Ken is an excellent driver in multiple situations and surfaces... I've wondered recently if he is getting tired of WRC after this big sale/merger of DC back in 2008. He does have a nice bank roll now to play with.
Block only skipped the first event so far. Mexico is event number 2 and is his debut. I think they said that he will be competing in 7 out of 11 events. I think they said the same thing about Kimi. I thought it odd that they weren't competing in every event also.
They let Kimi Raikkonen race WRC?!? Lets see how many crashes he gets into now! At least WRC cars are way cheaper than F1 cars...
Block choked stage 10 of Mexico if you didn't already know............ http://www.wrc.com/jsp/index.jsp?lnk=500&featureid=1502&desc=Mexico 2010: Block retires
