PRE RACE :: DAY 1 :: DAY 2 :: DAY 3 :: DAY 4 :: DAY 5 :: DAY 6 :: DAY 7

Below is Ken Block's blog from Day 1 at the Corona Rally Mexico, in Leon, Mexico.
This was an organized test for all PWRC entrants, and Ken and his teammate Travis Pastrana were on hand to test their cars out.


 

Travis is very popular in Mexico!   He was surrounded by fans as soon as he showed up to the service area.

This is the look from many of the stages at WRC Mexico...open desert and a line of dust from the distance.
     

Travis enjoying coconut milk.   Afterwards, the vendor will cut it open and serve you the fresh coconut meat covered in lime, salt and chili pepper.   I have never had it like that before...definitely good!
