World has lost one of it’s greats. Ken Block’s vision and talent created a whole new motorsports culture that so many of us admire and enjoy. My thoughts and condolences go out to Ken’s family and friends. Rest in peace, Ken 🙏

We didn’t get a trophy. We didn’t start and finish all the stages. We didn’t capture and post all the action. We didn’t sleep a night in the desert. We didn’t win any stage. But Emil and myself gave our very best and we both have learned a lot the hard way about the Dakar rally!
