It was just this week that we got a look at Ken Block hooning around in his Ford Focus RX43, and now we’ve got some great news to go along with that awesome stunt video. First teased in the final seconds of the Gymkhana Eight video, Ford Performance and Ken Block’s Hoonigan Racing Division will be bringing two shiny new Focus RS cars to compete in the 2016 FIA World Rallycross Championship.

One sad truth about motorsports is that often safety precautions for drivers are only improved after a deadly crash occurs. Such is the case with the fatal accident of IndyCar driver Justin Wilson. Wilson succumbed to head injuries he suffered when debris hit his head during a race.

Toyota’s CEO Akio Toyoda wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted his company’s cars to “raise the pulse” instead of hitting us in the neck with tranquilizer darts. The giant Japanese automaker (insert Godzilla joke here) recenlty announced plans to re-enter the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) after a 17-year absence.
