Ken Block to attempt 100ft car jump to promote Dirt 2
Ken Block gymkhana driver goes all Evel Knievel for Dirt 2
Ken Block, Subaru Rally Team USA driver, X-Games Competitor and gymkhana legend is the star of the show at Trax 2009, a huge car event which takes place on Sunday, September 6 at Silverstone. And in the name of Dirt 2, he'll aim to "perform a spectacular 100ft in-car jump to mark the forthcoming launch," say game publisher Codemasters.
Trax 2009 will also feature the game and give you a good chance to get some hands-on time via a Last Man Standing multiplayer challenge.
"I've been involved with Codemasters and Colin McRae: Dirt 2 for quite a while and serve as a consultant for the game in addition to featuring in it," said Block.
"It's been a real pleasure and an honour to be part of the production team - Colin McRae was a huge inspiration to me personally. Actually driving my own car in the game, I was amazed at how dynamic the setup is and how much it performs like the real thing. I hope that Colin McRae: DiRT 2 similarly inspires the thousands of kids who dream of being the fastest, greatest, rally driver out there."
