Not exactly breaking news but hadn't heard about it myself, Ken Block has jumped ship from Subaru to join Ford and compete in the WRC, aswell as Rally America and X-Games Rally for 2010.

Looking forward to some big Ken Block crashes in the WRC. I think he'll lack pace but still have plenty of spirit which can be a disastrous combo at the top level. Hopefully he will use his limited program as a learning year instead of going for the points, Watching him in the USRC I highly doubt it though.

Apparently he's going to do all rounds of each series, which should make for a full calendar. He's even come out and said he doesn't expect to come anywhere but last in his first year of WRC, which after watching some of the Rally US stages wouldn't surprise me.

He should stick to the fancy rehearsed video's, they show him in a better light.

Good on him i say, even though he owns a multi million dollar company and has a background in skate/bmx crap at least hes having a go.

He has the money too, why not.

Super2000 regulations, It's a 2L NA 4WD. you can see these on the intercontinental rally challenge (youtube). Next years WRC is going to follow the same regulations but with a 1600cc turbo motor.
