All week, there’s been one man on our minds. Ken Block, who we lost just days ago, lit the fire of motoring passion for a generation, with his care-free fun-first attitude to driving and life. We’ve been lucky enough to host Ken at the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard a number of times. Each time he put on an unrivalled show for our crowds in many of his incredible cars. Remembering him, we thought we’d compile a few incredible moments we shared with him at Goodwood.
From a howling V8 Mustang Hoonicorn to his rabid Gymkhana Fiesta, to his faintly ridiculous Hoonitruck Ford F100, battling jet-powered men, scaring TV presenters and much more. One of our favourites though was his debut of the insane ‘Cossie’ Escort Cosworth, which he pirouetted balletically in front of the House and the Central Feature. These cars weren’t just amazing machines, they were amazing to look at, shot through as they were with Ken’s inimitable style.
