Ken Block driving experience competition

The competition closes tonight so get your entry in now!

---

By itself, a VIP trip with to the Rallye de Espana would be a fairly incredible prize. But we can go one better with this latest PH competition in association with Castrol. Not only are flights and accommodation to see four days of the rally part of the prize, you will also get a passenger ride to remember with Ken Block. Pretty good, no?

You can see full details of the competition here so consider this a little intro. Suffice to say it should be an incredible trip. A few very important points to make a note of here though, just in case you quickly scroll through the comp page and hit 'submit' before reading it fully. We've all done it, right?

The most important is that there are two places on offer but across three Haymarket publications; our sister brands Autocar and Autosport are involved also. But then the more PHers enter, the greater chance there is that one or indeed both winners are of this parish. Sound fair?

A few other points too. You must be over 21, less than 95kg and under 1.90m tall for the passenger ride. Obviously your passport must be valid as well. And though you are guests of Castrol for the trip, transfers to and from your UK airport aren't included. Neither are any additional hotel charges, before you get any ideas...

Full details, terms and conditions plus the entry page are here. We'll hope you agree it's a damn cool prize. Best of luck, and please do let us know if you win as a PHer. Should be a story in this!

I'm not sure what relevance the dancer had in the video but I appreciated her contribution

Entered . However is a passenger ride with Ken Block a good prize, didn't he have a reputation for crashing a bit in WRC. Not that I'd like to put anyone off you understand.

Also Michelin are running a competition for tickets/hospitality for the British WRC which I entered this morning.

Absolutely incredible prize. Being a VIP at the rally would be awesome, a passenger ride in a World Rally Car is the icing on the cake!

I fit the dimensions (and I think I've got the answer) so I'm entered!

Not entered as you will get spammed by Haymarket and partners according to the terms and conditions.
I don't agree that engines are 'too powerful' they must still pass the same tests and are built stronger with coatings on metal parts to lower friction and increase hardness. I mean you can build a low power per litre engine badly and you can build a high power per litre engine well.

Thanks very much to PH and Castrol for this, came as a bit of a surprise!

I'm a long term rally fan as my car history will probably tell you but never witnessed one of the ultimate ones rally Catalunya with it's high speed tarmac stages.

I'm taking my wife with me, we're off tomorrow morning and back Monday evening and it's a full on weekend which we're both really excited about.

Finishing off with a Ken Block Gymkhana Hoonigan passenger ride, what can you say chance in a lifetime.

I'll take loads of pics and let you all know what it was like upon our return next week. I'll try and update over the weekend if there's time and a sufficient mobile signal!

Cheers
Paul

I'm exceptionally jealous of you, but at least the prize has gone to someone appreciative!

Hope you have a good weekend and look forward to seeing some pictures!
