Heading into Brazil for the first of four Global X Games this year, Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block is kicking off the start of the GRC race season in a big way—with an all-new video on ESPN that showcases Block unveiling, driving and partying with his brand-new Ford Fiesta ST RX43 racecar in England.
With Global X Games and Global RallyCross being two very big focuses for Block and the Hoonigan Racing Division this season, this video walks fans through the delivery process of taking delivery of a brand-new racecar at M-Sport in the UK (the race outfit responsible for running Ford’s previous WRC efforts), as well as showing highlights from Block putting the car through the paces during a pre-Brazil test and also showing a public debut of the car at London’s Ace Cafe with Monster Energy.
“I’m excited about this video dropping with ESPN,” said Block. “We put a lot of time and effort into the build of this car and utilized a lot of M-Sport’s expertise in taking an already good car and improving on it. The end result is a truly great machine, which I think is evident when you watch me put it through the paces in the video! It’s also cool that we’re able to give fans an inside look at how we get ready for our race season and just what goes into that.”
ESPN’S Pro Series is a new segment for ESPN.com where top athletes will contribute to create online episodes of exclusive content for fans.
