“It’s with our deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today,” the account confirmed. “Ken was a visionary, a pioneer and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband. He will be incredibly missed.”
Block began rallying in 2005, at the wheel of a Subaru WRX STi, driving for the Vermont SportsCar team. After winning the Rally America Rookie of the Year award, he began a climb into greater fame, including sponsorships from Subaru and Ford. Block’s over-a-decade-long Ford Performance sponsorship ended in 2021. Most recently, Block announced a partnership with Audi where they would work together on electric projects, helping raise the profile of performance EVs.
While best known for rallying, Block also took part in other motorsport activities. That included building what was described as the world’s fastest snowcat, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax, a modified F-150 pickup truck in 2014.
