Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ken+block/) is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/top+gear+live/) and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/global+rallycross/) season, and Ford Racing (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/) Formula One (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/formula+1/) car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta/) on its roof. Top Gear (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/top+gear/) also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down (http://www.mnfords.com/2014/05/22/watch-how-ken-block-spent-weekend-barbados-video/#continued) to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.Continue reading Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/22/watch-how-ken-block-spent-weekend-barbados-video/)
