Ken Block secured his fourth successive win on the 100 Acre Wood Rally, round 2 of the Rally America series.
It was a dominant win by Block on a rally he loves as it suits his driving style so well in the Monster Energy backed Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
Block said at the finish:
I love the flow of the stages of this event. I love the high speeds.
Andew Comrie-Picard had to settle for second despite a spirited performance on the first day until he spun in the NOS Energy Mitsubishi Evo 9.
ACP commented:
I feel awesome. The car was perfect and our Yokohama winter tires gave us an edge when the snow started coming down.
It’s really exciting to be at the top of the points with Tanner – I’m really enthusiastic for this season.
Third place went to Tanner Foust who enjoyed himself and felt he had got to grips with his new Evo X towards the end of the event.
Foust happy with new car:
It’s good to be on the podium. The car has great potential.
Andrew Comrie-Picard and Tanner Foust are now tied for the lead in the championship after two rounds.
In fourth place was Bill Bacon in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX ahead of Andi Mancin's Evo9 in fifth.
Matt Johnson took the new Super Production category laurels as Dave Mirra slipped down the leaderboard on day two to finish just behind Johnson.
