I was wondering about the energy drink wars. Ken Block would keep running with Monster Energy. Tanner Foust and Bucky Lasek will keep with Rockstar.
Now, with Dodge apparently out of the championship, who will run Red Bull cars? Patrik Sandell (Ford), Rhys Millen (Hyundai), Sverre Isachsen (Subaru)? |

I have the official program for Round 2, but I've never bothered trying to put it on You Tube as I'm assuming it would be pulled pretty quickly if I did.
Best videos I can find on You Tube of the A Final: http://youtu.be/S6zduICiS8E |

Pretty interesting interview with Tanner Foust:
http://www.bybillwood.com/tanner-fou...tti-autosport/ Discusses the move from Ford, the build of the new cars and World Rallycross. |

So Tanner's banking on four or five ERC events in the Polo. I'm glad to hear that. I wonder if Scott Speed gets to play in ERC? I also thought it was interesting that the cars were being build in Germany.

Possibly a silly suggestion, but as the GRC is now a Red Bull backed series will that affect the participation of Monster backed drivers?
Both Block and Doran seem to be slow to announce their plans with regards to the GRC? |

The title sponsor shouldn't impact car sponsorship. If anything there is an opportunity to have Red Bull pay for your Monster backed driver to get all the credit......
Remember apart from Red Bull none of the brands do above the line sponsorship so for visibility motorsport is a key channel to promote product. My guess is that Doran will be too busy this year to do anything but an odd GRC event and now the WRX is evidently the place to be in terms of profile and promotion maybe the GRC has served its purpose for Liam? Re Ken, I am trying to piece the conversations together but he reduced his Rally America schedule to focus on his Hoonigan shows and I believe GRC. After the last few years I think Lucy wants him to be home a little more! Could be wrong on that but also his team have posted the rallycross car on Facebook a couple of times being prepped. Now the more fun stuff would be how do we convince him to bring the ex-Hopkins RS200 over to the UK to run in some retro events against Pat in Rosie?? Mark |

There's plenty of non-Red Bull riders at the Red Bull X-Fighters, so I guess that Red Bull is fine with having competitors.

http://www.rally-america.com/news/en...-participation ...where it mentioned that he wouldn't be running the full Rally America Championship, but it was a bit vague on further details. I assume Gymkhana Grid is back again in 2014? Is there a chance Block will run any World Championship rounds, or does that seem unlikely? Now that is a good idea: the balls in your court to talk him into it... |

I promise that if I see Ken at an event I will mention it to him. I am not sure what state the car was in when he bought it from Trevor's widow but he is the sort of guy to air freight it over! Pat and Liam are better placed than me to convince him to do a brief vacation in England, bring the family, and run it at Lydden in August.
Stranger things..... Mark |

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...=134327&page=2 (Post #19 onwards) It has been mentioned on the RS200.org Facebook group a number of times and I'm sure someone mentioned about some issue whilst it was being worked on forcing a move. I half expected that Block would use it for a Gymkhana film, but the trail seems to have gone cold in the US. Would be great to know where it is, what state its in and if its every likely to see the light of day. |

I don't know if he has two although nothing would surprise me!
I do know that he has the ex-Haynes of Maidstone Ford RS200 and I always assumed that was Trevors as can't recall anyone else driving it. He would have bought it - or at least it came to the States - around the same time as we ran Marcus at Lydden. Mark |

Do remember Hoppys car in red and white and later in blue and white.
He run it with a 1.8 engine in at least 1987 and 1988 AFAIR, but later changed to a 2.1 Evo lump as well. |

Ricky Carmichael drove stock cars (NASCAR) for 4 or 5 year. He didn't have much success and in 2011 Monster Energy switched to Kyle Busch and Carmichaels NASCAR career came to an end. On his website I see he's still sponsored by Monster. Another sponsor of him is Chevrolet. Wouldn't it be great to see him in a 2nd Chevrolet Sonic? |
