Lia Block to drive late father Ken’s Ford Escort Cossie V2 at Lake Superior Rally
Lia Block, a 17-year-old rally driver, will be competing in the Lake Superior Performance Rally in her father’s Ford Escort Cosworth ‘Cossie’ V2, marking her first time driving an all-wheel-drive vehicle. She will be joined by co-driver Rihannon Gelsomino for the event in Marquette, Michigan. Block already secured the title in the Open 2WD class at the New England Forest Rally earlier this season. This achievement made her the youngest winner of a domestic rally title in the U.S. In an Instagram video, Block expressed her excitement and anticipation for racing her dad’s Ford Escort Cossie in the upcoming rally, hoping for good weather conditions. Although this will be her first time rallying in an all-wheel-drive car, Block has previous experience competing in Nitrocross’ NEXT category and Extreme E alongside Timo Scheider. The Cossie V2, built after Ken Block’s original ex-World Rally Cosworth was destroyed in a fire, has participated in various events globally, most recently driven by Jax Redline in the New England Forest Rally.
