Ken Block height is endangering his proof of a formula 1

High or large people are accustomed to not enter, or at least not be anything comfortable, racing cars. This is the case of Ken Block, which this week has discovered that it is too large to drive a formula 1. That is why his test at the Monza circuit of the Pirelli could be in danger.
The American was able to see first-hand that it came in the cockpit when he visited on Thursday the factory of Toyota Motorsport in Cologne for further details of the car and try the simulator of the Japanese. The main problem is apparently that Block could sit in the passenger compartment, but could not turn the steering wheel to collide with his legs.
Unable to sit in the 2009 Toyota brand is looking for other alternatives, as the use for testing a oldest in which Ken if between. That has left more than clear is that this test has become a promotional rather than something valuable event for the development of tyres.

The accident of Ken Block marked a peak of 16 g

It has been the most repeated image of racing during the television news of two weeks ago, something that we call morbid, but he also had his share of fortune if look you from the side of safety both the pilot and co-pilot. And it is that the accident of Ken Block came even to mark about 16 g force in the first clash against the ground after leaving catapulted in the curve.
It is obviously not nothing compared with accidents such as Ralf Schumacher at Indianapolis, when he burst a tire, 72 g or more currently of Robert Kubica in Montreal that marked some of the records in this respect with 76 g. No doubt this mishap suffered by American returns to say good things about the safety of the new World Rally Cars.
In total, the Ford Fiesta RS WRC accumulated several peaks of 6, 10 and 16 g in the three key moments of the crash and stoically endured all the force of the blows. Fortunately both Block and Alex emerged unscathed from the accident and after a stay in the hospital the next day already flying on the way to his native North America to recover from the shock suffered.

After the two days of check-ups, and be prepared to begin the rally, it was too frustrating to have this accident. Much work with Alex in the notes, and the accident at the Stobart was ridiculous, a terrible mistake. We make a good test in Mexico, and I felt that we were taking certain steps. In the end. We were lucky and there is no injury, and now is that the cars are extremely well designed and built. One of the impacts was close to the 16 g.

The pilots of fighter aircraft that are people who are accustomed to specific training only point out that the human limit is situated on the 80 g and 9 g is what usually are subject.

Rally of Portugal 2011: Sébastien Ogier is the fastest and they move to Ken Block to a hospital after his accident

The Stobart of the Lusitanian test has been movidito. The two protagonists have been Sebastien Ogier and Ken Block. The French Citroen has set the fastest time of the Stobart, while the American has had a strong accident during the course of the test section and had to be taken to the hospital to ask or check doctor both he and his co-driver.

As the Monster team driver Ken Block it too recortaba on a curve and dumps with your Ford Fiesta RS WRC. The car ended more than six meters from the road and the special was cancelled after his accident evacuating both Block and Gelsomino Faro hospital for a routine checkup. It is not yet known if the car and the two members will be ready to start the Rally tomorrow.

Ken and Alex were transferred to a Faro hospital for a precautionary check-up, but are well. We are hoping to bring the car to the assistance to assess the damage and see if they are very serious.
