Republic of San Marino. It was Ken Block himself who made the announcement, during the video presentation of his “Cossie” World Tour 2019, a new initiative that will see him put on an original show with his rally car.

The American driver, a long-time media phenomenon thanks to his spectacular shows as well as his participation in World Rally races, has added Rallylegend (taking place from 10 to 13 October) to his season’s schedule, which already comprises seven worldwide rallies and shows.

The car that Block will use will be a tweaked Ford Escort Cosworth from the 90s, and he will be joined by loyal navigator Alex Gelsomino. The entertaining American driver will be ready to show off his skills during the special stage, his name an added draw and a welcome addition to an increasingly international Rallylegend.

“Ken Block’s enthusiastic participation is definitely a great surprise, even though in reality there were contacts last year with his management. – comments Vito Piarulli, on behalf of the Organisation – This fact confirms the global fame of our event. One in which rallying remains the “core business”, but with collateral moments to ensure Rallylegend is a true rally festival”.
