His partnership with Ford (Performance) and his input on the Focus RS influenced me that I “needed” a Focus RS in my garage…
RIP

That's how it was for me, as well. His enthusiasm and skills were riveting. R.I.P. Ken.

“We lost a legend today in Ken Block. He inspired generations of automotive enthusiasts, and in the process he came to inspire all of us at Ford Motor Company as well. I was lucky to call Ken a friend. He was truly one of a kind – an innovator, a talented driver and a marketing genius. He personified the joy of driving, drifting and racing. He had a boundless imagination for creating special cars and special moments. Our hearts go out to his family during this time, and we mourn his loss together with the community he fed with his vigor and spirit."

Jim Farley, president and CEO, Ford Motor Company

He was a trailblazer, a pioneer, an ambassador, an icon. You did so much for this group before, during, and after your Ford days.

Rest In Hooniganism, Ken.

May The Lord grant you endless track.

Ken Block, James May, Ricky Carmichael having fun during peak Top Gear.

One of my favorite moments and an iconic screen grab for me being an automotive and aeronautics/aerospace enthusiast.

Thanks, Ken.

He was one of the good guys.

Was able to watch him race at the 100 Acre Wood Rally in 2022 and 2019 in Missouri.

Hopefully his daughter and wife will still be able to run in the ARA events in 2023.

Prays for his family and friends.

So crazy. RIP

The other night I watched gymkhana 9 in memory of the man and our car. It could be that Ken was the most watched and admired Ford representative ever. Never really thought he was short for this world - and to think the way he went… A reminder that we are all frail humans. His family is on my mind and prayers..

Same here. He and Sebastien Ogier pushed my want of a fast Ford into a desire.

Ken Block absolutely confirmed my intension to get an RS with his part in the introduction on February 3rd, 2015. Skip to 18:20 in the video (or better yet watch the whole thing if you never have):

It was an honor to visit Hoonigan Racing in Park City, Utah back in 2016. That's the year my wife and I attended the free Ford Racing School sessions. The evening before the track day, Ford hosted a meal and social time for the Rs owners at Ken's headquarters/shop. Ken was not there, but it was still great to tour the facilities and see a couple of the Hooligan cars!

Wow, that would have been so cool. All we did when I did the academy was have dinner at the same facility/track where we did the classes. I still ended up looking up where the hoonigan facility was though and stopped by, only to be met by a "by appointment only" sign at the locked front doors.

Wow, I don't think I've seen this full video before, freaking awesome. Thanks for sharing. RIP KEN.
