-----
Ken Block is to get his first taste of Formula 1 machinery later this year when he drives Pirelli's Toyota test car at Monza in August.

The WRC driver, who is famous for his online Gymkhana videos, has tied up with the Italian tyre manufacturer for the run that is scheduled to take place on August 5 - the final day of a three-day test for Pirelli.

The test will be Block's first proper run in a top-spec single seater – and he is set to prepare for it with a trial in Toyota's F1 simulator.

Speaking to AUTOSPORT in Montreal about the test, Block said: "I never imagined that something like this would even be available."

Will be interesting to see how he will handle a F1 car

Poorly I'd imagine. Americans have never really seemed at home in F1, too many corners

Well I'd imagine his car control to be pretty good! His Gymkhana stuff is incredible to watch, although he's not made too much headway in world rally, and I don't think he even won Rally America.

Correct about lack of progress in WRC. He makes alot of mistakes for someone that does tht in videos' Just how many times has he practised before some of it? He won't set the world alight in an F1 car, but how could he, it's in an old Toyota

Funny? You got it right, tomcat. He needs to lose some height.

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch master]

Well if he sticks to left-hand side all the way round (like the oval tracks) it could get funny!
