Love it! Makes me want a Fiesta even more now (yeah I said it, I want a Fiesta!). I wish the production Fiesta was half the beast that will be though.
I'm interested in seeing the WRC spec Focus though. Also, I'm a but confused: so is the Ford team already in WRC gonna become the Ford/Monster team, or will the Monster team be a separate team?

He gonna use a Ford Focus WRC and the Team will be Monster Energy. Not the official Ford WRC Team.
But Ford and Monster are the main sponsor... so he will get almost the same support as the official team.
OT: Also I think there is a big chance Focus and Fiesta RS will hit the US market, otherwise I don't get it why they decide to got Ken Block. Must be costly.

My sentiments exact on the part of the Fiesta RS might be hitting US market... I just wanna see him in action already.. Wonder if the Rally School he attended with Atkinson will pay off....

The Fiesta RS would be a great car for Auto-X. So little but with AWD (right?) and big *****.
I agree...why get Ken Block if you're not going to run the car in the US? Is Block like a big international star? I wouldn't think so, but he has a big following here.

I guess Block is a big star.. I've seen little kids rocking the Ken Block Gymkahna shirts and them talking about Subies.. The Future of HIIC????
I would like to see someone use the Suzuki Swift(Turbo Application) in the WRC...

According to KB, his Fiesta's suspension broke on Sno*Drift on stage 7 but he was very thrilled about the performance of the car. Maybe he likes his Ford over the Subaru!?

Don't take it bad, but a lot of rally driver love to go back on smaller/lighter car.
This is why they called it S2000, they are very good car.
Look in europe, all the Clio R3, Ford S2000, Skoda, Suzuki Swift and others ganking Sti and Evo Gr.N on tarmac.
and you guys have the GTR R35 lol.
