COLOGNE, Germany, July 2, 2014 – For the first time ever, Ken Block has opened the doors to his Hoonigan Racing Division (HRD) base and let the Ford Racing cameras capture what goes on behind the scenes.
Block not only gives Ford Racing a tour of his headquarters where cars are built and repaired after races and rallies, but he also takes viewers around his office and into his rather special conference room.
The garage area is filled with high-performance vehicles, including his Fiesta ST rally and rallycross cars and special project RaptorTRAX, as well as production vehicles like the Focus ST and Raptor.
While many workshops feature similar components - tools, cars, employee break areas etc - the touches Block has added to the HRD facility are what make it one of a kind. From a chainsaw to a stuffed bear, you never know what you will find at Hoonigan headquarters!
