Ken BlockThe Monster World Rally Team has revealed the new livery for Ken Block's Ford Focus RS WRC, just days ahead of the American's World Rally Championship debut in the car on Rally Mexico.

The American driver tested the Focus for the first time in Cumbria last month, but the day was cut short after heavy snow in the area made the running unrepresentative of the conditions he will see in and around Leon this week.

Block starts in Mexico, the second round of the WRC, after winning the 100 Acre Wood Rally, a Rally America round, in his Ford Fiesta.

"I'm super stoked to be down here, getting ready to race this week – especially after taking my fifth win at the 100 Acre Wood Rally," said Block. "I just wish I could've done more than one day of testing in the Ford Focus RS before jumping in the ring with the world's best drivers this weekend at Rally Mexico. But this is my development year – not that I won't be going flat where I can, but I realize that I have a bit to learn before becoming a really competitive driver in the WRC."
