On his way to the visit Olsbergs MSE in Sweden, the company that prepares his Ford Fiesta for the Rally America Series, Ken Block decided to have a quick detour on a local ice track to test out the capabilities of the all-wheel drive Hayabusa-powered mini Ford Fiesta.
While it seemed like a regular day in the office for Block, he did admit that he had some fun with the mini Fiesta and seemed genuinely surprised that it packed that much torque and horsepower in such a little frame.
Check out this video to see Block’s exploits in a car that really did seem a little too small for him. Nevertheless, he seemed to handle the maneuvering of the car with relative ease.
Looking forward to watching him and the other racers this weekend. Between an awesome motor sport event like this being less than 2 hours away AND having a girlfriend who WANTS to go, life is good.
’Extravagant’, that’s the word that fits onto this car. It kinda hard to drift on a ice track and the factor that it’s a hatchback, the handle seems to be that hard and really need a good drifter for that. I’m still amazed on the performance of that car.
what the hell, is he meant to sit at the center of the car? well that was odd and way different from STI and Fiesta.. but I must agree, he handles the car well.
