Title: Ken Block to WRC...

in a Ford Focus RS.   [evil]

"Ken Block is off to race in the FIA 2010 World Rally
Championship as part of the newly formed Monster World Rally Team. Block will continue to
compete in the Rally America national series, as well as in X-Games XVI. And he’s doing it all
in a Ford!"

He will be running a Ford Fiesta in the Rally America series. 

I am saddened to see him leave Subaru, but wish him well in his new venture.  I know his relationship with Subaru and Vermont Sportscar has been becoming more strained over the last couple of years. 

BMX legend Dave Mira will be taking his place on the Subaru Rally America team.

I wonder if Subaru's decision to back out of WRC for 2010 had anything to do with this? 

Block was probably looking to go to WRC & I can't see him driving for 2 different factory teams....

Subaru has not fielded a WRC team since 2008; no 2009 team.

There was, however, a privately supported Subaru that competed in couple 2009 WRC events.
