Atkinson joins hooning Block party

He is joining drift king Ken Block in a two-car Monster attack on the third round of the World Rally Championship, looking to revive a career that stalled when Subaru withdrew from the title fight.

Atkinson has been a close mate of the sideways American star for several years and hopes to compete in three WRC events this year in a Monster Ford Fiesta identical to Block's speed machine.

The Queenslander is making final preparations for the rally today but took time out to give Carsguide readers an exclusive sneak peak at how his rally racer looks for Mexico.
