The main thing is that Block reach the finish line which isn\u2019t an easy task with the aggressive driving style Block has. The goal throughout the season is a completely different thing. . . \u201cThe goal is off course that Ken Block wins Rally America but for us it\u2019s also a good opportunity to show the world what Swedish engineering  stands for,\u201d added Eriksson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We wish Ken the best.
