[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Maybe they will do some high altitude testing after the event to see how the car compares ;)

Block is only doing three WRCs this year: MEX, NZE, FIN

Block does Mexico, New Zealand and Finland

I knew he would do NZ!! I think that will be awesome for the sport down here as he has a huge following for his videos.

OMG!!!! I take it he lost Peugeot UK for 2012 then? Maybe he should spend less time on the Go-Karts and Honda Pish and more about getting his name back out there.

Warden Law, Karting North east, thats it. Although they get some of the text wrong!

Come along to Karting North East this Sunday afternoon - Other News&

"Karting North East has recently come under the ownership of World Rally Car driver Guy Wilks"

I think mistakes were made here :D

Lets hope that he keeps it on the road for longer than the first loop on Friday, will be good to see him in NZ but, the livery is really nice!

Looking forward to seeing Ken in NZ. On his site he is getting bashed to pieces by UK fans for not going to GB and Goodwood. It's quite astonishing how upset the fans are. "No Wales GB!?!?!? My brother was right you are just an American sellout!". Going a bit far because he decided to opt out of an event due to other commitments...

Yeah I live near where they have the park ferme on Quay Street so I can get photos for you guys or whatever. I expect I will have to wait for ages as the kind of fans he has are quite rabid. I hope he will take the livery he has just released as his offical livery for this (3 event) season.

Yes that is too far. I like to think of "those" people as Hoonigan fans rather than rally fans. I'm sure he would have liked to do more events but he has not done well recently and I'm sure Monster and Ford are cracking the whip!
