In honor of the late Ken Block, Lia Block takes her dad’s 2022 PPIHC entry, the Hoonipigasus, up Pikes Peak as a tribute run to cap the 101stRunning of the Race to the Clouds.
I hope we will see Lia for a long time and in many different motorsport disciplines. She doesn't have to win, but always puts her heart into it and carries on her dad's legacy as her own personality...
Sadly this is what motorsport has become "she doesnt' have to win." SO THEN WHY COMPETE!? Motorsport is about competition and winning. Amazing. Absolutely amazing this comment. "she doesn't have to win" What the actual f___? That's like saying the Lakers don't have to win when they play we just hope they carry on Phils legacy. JFC...I have to actually explain this to men now.
She might turn out an even better driver than her dad. She’s been driving fast cars from a lot younger age which helps with understanding car control and up until recently she’s had the best mentor she could ask for.
She was about to tear up there in the end. I know she will be back next year and really put the pedal to the metal. She still got a lot to learn but she has her dad's enthusiasm. RIP 43
She is the apple of her dad's eye, i have nothing but love and respect for this girl. The block family are Unique, Ken was an idol and he will always be to myself and to others. Seeing Lia again really hit home, I'm glad she is out there doing what she loves, doing her dad proud. I want this beautiful girl to take it at her own pace, no rush, no pressure and gently come back to us fans. I 🫶 you 10,000 too Lia and the rest of the Block family ❤
Was waiting for the full run, know it wasn't fast. But still think it would have been a nice video to watch, with the sound et cetera. Hope to see it next year as well, but then at 80-90%, fast but not taking too much risk.
The unfortunate reality is Ken Block was a mediocre driver with a lot of money and a big budget for media videos. There was nothing innovative about him behind the wheel, or in building cars, he was not a great driver. He did not win any championships. What this generation thinks is a legend is someone who can put together good videos and has money. You don't know or respect real drivers anymore and it's pretty laughable.
