Ken Block's Monster-backed Ford

Monster Energy Australia has confirmed that World Rally star Ken Block will bring his Gymkhana World Tour to Melbourne’s Calder Park for a one-off Australian show on Saturday, September 3.

Block, who will also contest the Australian round of the World Rally Championship a week after his Calder Gymkhana, will bring to life his world-renowned Gymkhana video clips.

He will be joined at Calder by a host of other stars and their cars.

Tickets to the event will be free, but limited to a yet-to-be-determined amount. Willing patrons will need to sign up and go into a ballot. Specific details on how to secure tickets to Block’s Gymkhana World Tour will be released in the coming weeks.

The Ford Fiesta driver says he is excited to be visiting Australia for the first time.

“I’m stoked to be coming down to Australia for one of the stops of my Gymkhana World Tour,” Block said.

“We’re coming down and doing a ton of different things during my visit, and, I’m not just there for the World Tour. I’m also racing in WRC Australia the following week. I can’t wait. it’s going to be a very fun couple of weeks for me.

“One of the great things about the Gymkhana World Tour down in Australia is that it’s free to the public, so everyone can come. I hope everybody that wants to see it can make it out because it’s going be amazing.

“Watching the gymkhana car slide around live in-person is much better than seeing it in video, so I hope everyone that is interested in seeing this can make it out.”

In confirming the Australian leg of Ken Block’s Gymkhana World Tour, Monster Energy Australasian Manager Adrian Hunter said that Block would be joined by some of Australia’s leading motorsport athletes.

“The rumour of Ken Block coming down under has been circulating for a while and Monster Energy Australia are very excited to officially announce that Ken Block’s Gymkhana World Tour will be coming to Melbourne,” Hunter confirmed.

“This project has been close to a year in the making and we delighted to not only have Ken coming to Australia, but to also be putting on a live event for the public. Part of Monster Energy’s mantra is to look after our athletes, and give back to our consumers, so what better way to do that, than by putting on an event like this.

“We will be pulling out all stops on this event which will also include Monster Energy athletes such as Jamie Whincup, Shane Van Gisbergen, Andrew Thompson, Matt Mingay, Shane Tucker and the Monster Energy Showtime FMX Freestyle team.”

Racecentre Hosts ´Race for Jase!´

Due to wet conditions Round Three of the 2010/2011 ANDRA Pro Series Pro Stock Championship was cancelled last Saturday after one qualifying session was completed.

After a meeting between senior officials of ANDRA and Sydney Dragway, and the Pro Stock teams present for the event, Sydney Dragway announced they were willing to stage the round at their next scheduled competition event on April 8th and 9th.

ANDRA had requested this approach because Pro Stock had completed just one round of their current series in September 2010.

Under ANDRA regulations, ANDRA Pro Series points are allocated where at least one full round of qualifying is completed. After consultation with the National Control Council, it has been confirmed that points will be allocated for the March round on that basis, and the April round will be a fresh round.

ANDRA CEO Tony Thornton said this was a very positive move from the new management team at Sydney Dragway. “After the rainout budgets are understandably tight and the gesture by the management and the teams is a great gesture.” he said. “The Drag Racing Australia Group who operates the Pro Series is in a similar position but they have agreed to provide the additional television coverage in April.”

Event sponsor AEROFLOW Performance Products are supportive of the decision.
