“I’m super stoked on this year’s schedule. Being able to race on some of my favorite stages and tracks, here in the United States, and across the world is going to be a lot of fun. The 2020 Cossie World Tour is going to be rad!”
For official release from Ken Block and The Hoonigan Racing Team
For the first time, LIVE and in front of over 250,000 people, Ken Block and The Hoonigans revealed Ken's new Troy Lee designed 2020 race livery with the Ford Escort RS Cossie V2 at the BurnYard! With a sold-out crowd watching from the stands (in addition to YouTube live stream), Ken and Hoonigan CCO Brian Scotto took the cover off the Cossie, revealing a wild new look for Ken's 2020 race season.
With the live reveal successfully completed last Saturday, a highlight episode of the events is now up on Ken's YouTube channel. In 2019, Ken's YouTube channel clocked in a staggering 11+ million views for the Cossie World Tour alone - making it one of the biggest exposure outlets in all of stage rally, RallyCross, and Gymkhana in the world! And now, Ken has kicked off his 2020 race campaign with this epic livery launch.
This year the Cossie World Tour will be going back to some of Ken's favorite events around the world, plus adding some that he's never done before - including Rally Barbados. The season kicks off at one of the iconic filming locations of Gymkhana TEN (shot in Guanajuato), at WRC Mexico. The schedule also includes the Southern Ohio Forest Rally, and back to Rally Legend in San Marino where Ken won 1st in his class and 3rd overall in 2019. The Cossie World Tour will also feature Ken running in a Ford Fiesta for three events, including WRC New Zealand, Nitro World Games, and Gymkhana Grid.
The off season has been anything but idle for Ken and the Hoonigan Racing team. The modernized 90s era Cossie has undergone some extensive upgrades, including engine updates, lightweight panels, a new roof scoop and more. With the unveil, two new partners were also announced: Borla Exhaust and Rigid Industries lights. These and other modifications will be highlighted in a forthcoming Cossie V2 update episode on Ken's channel.
"My first trip to the Burnyard was unreal! Not only was I able to reveal the new livery live to a quarter million fans, but I also got to slide both the Cossie and Hoonicorn around the infamous track!" said Block. "I couldn't be more happy with how the Troy Lee Designs livery came out, and from the reactions of all the fans that were there too." Added Block; "I'm super stoked on this year's schedule. Being able to race on some of my favorite stages and tracks, here in the United States, and across the world is going to be a lot of fun. The 2020 Cossie World Tour is going to be rad!"
