Block made a very smart move by going to ford. Subaru is no longer participating in the WRC but ford is. Subaru could no longer offer the higher skill level that the wrc and ford can offer.

yeah...it's not a focus, baldy.

Anyone who is still acting cunt hurt and trying to say Subaru is better than Ford, from a racing pedigree standpoint, is a fucking moron. Put down the video game controller, and try looking at the facts.
