The 42-year-old driver announced today that not only will he be driving Fords from now on, but in addition to competing in the Rally America Championship and X Games like always, he will also compete on the rally world's biggest stage: the World Rally Championship
im surprised, hes either crazy or bored.

yeah, i heard this a while ago.. he said about a month ago that he wasnt going to talk about it because nothing was finalized. but im glad he went to ford, that is awesome for them. ford is really turning their **** around and they've got a swagger now that they havent had in ages.

maybe this changed his mind..

Yeah ford motorsports is making some good decisions with block and vaughn gitten

Khellen 01-06-2010 02:45 PM

He wants back in the WRC and Ford is going to take him there.

It's all the WRC's fault. Stupid rule changes.

Yeah, I can't blame him for his decision. It's his career..

Foolinaround 01-06-2010 03:06 PM

Exactly what khellen said,they banned turbo cars,and hes a rally driver,so he goes with his career over one company.

20$ says rise in ford sales

BigWhiteTodd 01-06-2010 03:15 PM

have to go where the money is, he still one of the best drivers.

Fujito 01-06-2010 03:35 PM

Ford should bring over the Focus RS hatch to the USA.

Oakes 01-06-2010 04:00 PM

So this makes my Fusion cool now....SUCK IT SUBIE OWNERS! HE'S OURS NOW!

Nah but really, thats a good move on his part, he will still have his STis at home to rip around his property.

jjm4life 01-06-2010 04:03 PM

hahahahahahaha thats ****ing awesome. way to go ford. big swinging dick and balls

wait, what was that..? did Ndubz just hurl himself onto a sword?

DPancoast 01-06-2010 04:27 PM

seems like a great move to me.. cant wait to see what happens.

Bender 01-06-2010 06:54 PM

Ford on the name plate, Volvo underneath (in the focus at least).

I'm guessing the main reason he wants to be in the WRC is because you can only drift around a trashcan so many times before people get bored. That and I'm pretty sure he wants to be the next Colin Mcrae.




Also, I just looked in my crystal ball and it predicted that after Ken Block does a gymkhana with the focus RS.....ford will bring the focus RS to the US. It'll happen, just wait and see.

Foolinaround 01-06-2010 08:49 PM

Thats untrue,people drift the same circle tracks forever and it just gets bigger lol

haven't we been hearing about RS test mules in the US for over a year now?

phximprts9 01-06-2010 09:04 PM
