Ken Block Gives Ford Racing an Exclusive Behind the Scenes Tour of the Hoonigan Racing Division Headquarters
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEARBORN, Mich., June 24, 2014 – For the first time ever, Ken Block has opened the doors to his Hoonigan Racing Division (HRD) shop and let the Ford Racing cameras capture what goes on behind the scenes.
Block not only gave Ford Racing a tour of his shop floor where cars are built and repaired after races, but he also takes viewers around his office and into unique conference room.
The garage area is filled with high-performance vehicles, including his Fiesta ST rally cars and special project RaptorTRAX, as well as production vehicles like the Focus ST and Raptor.
While many shops feature similar components: tools, cars, employee break areas, etc., the unique touches that 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.
The only way you can receive an in-person tour of the facility is by participating in the ST Octane Academy at Miller Motorsports Park.
The HRD shop tour video is the first in a series of All-Access features that Ford Racing will produce. These videos take fans behind the scenes and give them unprecedented access to their favorite teams and drivers across the various series of racing including NASCAR, IMSA, NHRA, Formula Drift, and Red Bull Global Rallycross.
