Ken Block is a motorsports icon. From racing exploits worldwide to the media machine that is Hoonigan Industries, there's very little chance that petrolheads don't know his name. He got his start with Subaru in 2005 racing with their US Rally Team and gained attention and credentials with each passing event. From his Rookie of the Year debut to Gymkhana videos going viral, Ken had established himself very quickly. When he left Subaru to further pursue his dreams with Ford, many wondered if he would ever race with Subaru again. Now that Ken's abundantly successful 11-year-long run with Ford is over, the question remained: what's next?
Today Hoonigan Racing Division unveiled a car for Ken with a familiar logo on the front grille. The Head Hoonigan In Charge is back in a Subaru! This isn't to be with Subaru Motorsports USA directly, but it is a car prepared and built by his longtime friends at Vermont SportsCar (who manages the factory Subaru team). Hoonigan Racing Division is tackling 6 events in the ARA Championship with Ken Block alongside longtime codriver Alex Gelsomino.
It's gonna be a wild ride! Welcome back to Subaru, Ken. I know you'll have a blast!
