It’s like it’s just not making it in the world anymore unless you appear in a video game. Ken Block has reportedly signed on to be a character in the rally car video game Colin McRae Dirt2, according to a post on Gamers Daily News.
X Games team-mate of the late Colin McRae, Block is at the forefront of a new breed of pro drivers, competing as Subaru Rally Team USA Driver #43 in the Rally America National Championship and the world-famous X Games. He has also gained notoriety for his mind-blowing stunts in his Subaru WRX STI. For Colin McRae: DiRT 2, Block is working with the development team at Codemasters Studios as technical consultant, lending his wealth of knowledge to the game and advising on car handling.
Ken is apparently stepping in as the new face of the game after McRae died in a 2007 helicopter crash with his son and two family friends. Click here to watch Ken’s new promo video for the game.
