Sad to hear of the passing of Ken Block in a snowmobile accident. Only 55.

Looked like the guy just lived to drive fast. Some fantastic videos of him in a Subaru.

Very sad news, 55 is no age at all. Regardless of what people thought of him as a driver, I think you'd be hard pushed to think of someone who has done as much to promote rally in the last 20 years.

Big loss to motorsport and of course to his family. His daughter had already started in racing, hope she continues.

Yeah, seen multiple posts with people selling signed stuff (at ridiculously inflated prices) and naff tribute rubbish.

Much like McRae, there is always a crowd ready to swoop in and make a quick buck when someone passes away.
