A focus. Idk. I guess It would be cool. I mean I guess they set it up similar to the sti.
Still doesn't take away from his awesome driving skills even tho it's a ford car he's driving

Well, block wanted to stay in the WRC, which Subaru is no longer in. What's wrong with a Focus RS? Id take one. Block is a decent driver, and should do fine without a subaru. This is quite old news too.

haha really? He hit main stream with his gymkhana videos. Most people arent in rally because its not televised much in the US. (dumb!!) Im getting out of it because its hard to keep up with without it being televised.

block hit mainstream with DC and gymkhana, as for rally he isnt all that great when you look back into the 2008 - 2009 season, and yeah it does suck that he is parting ways with subaru but maybe he can get better and further his career with ford and wrc
