Ken Block about Cars, Germany and success

My secret is hard work! Set goals and trying to put myself in the best position and do good. All this takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes. The luck is also part of it, however you cannot get good luck, unless you work hard and be in the right place.

Well, really the racing accomplishments, and to be able to race. Have success in World RX, GRC, many wins from national stage rally, even beating Colin McRae at the X-Games. Most proud I am of my skills I have acquired from different kind of racing.

Well, I think I’ve become very good at Rallycross; I take a lot of pride in that. I am here to race at the FIA World Rallycross Championship, because they have the best tracks; it´s biggest championship, and I am here to try to win the world title. I am putting in a big effort and this is my best opportunity to have biggest success in my career.

I enjoy both, because I am a very competitive person. However I also enjoy driving aggressively sideways, but that doesn’t so work well in racing, so I need to do that somewhere else. I get to do that when I do Gymkhana videos or Gymkhana GRiD demos.

I generally use around 40 tyres for each video – it can vary a lot!

I like to hear different type of cars all weekend long. Next to World RX are also the DTM races. I am a car and motorsports fanatic! And then on the top of that here are big crowds, Germany has a lot of motorsports fans and I like to interact with huge crowds of fans.

But I really enjoy Germany, the countryside and the cities are beautiful. The car culture here is very cool! Ford has couple of major offices here and I spend a lot of time working with the Ford engineers, too.

Hahah! Wow! Ermm, I have been very lucky to have a lot of success! But I think my advice to myself would be, always to try to work as hard as you can. Keep your head up and be positive. My career has a lot of ups´ and downs, and the main thing for me is to keep positive up and work hard.
