NEW TEAMMATE FOR WRC MEXICO: CHRIS “ATKO” ATKINSON
NEW TEAMMATE FOR WRC MEXICO: CHRIS “ATKO” ATKINSON
Ken Block and the Monster World Rally Team are pleased to announce that professional rally driver Chris “ATKO” Atkinson will be joining Block as a teammate for the upcoming 2012 WRC Mexico.
“I’m stoked about returning to the WRC for Mexico this year,” said Atkinson. “It’s a race that I’ve taken second at previously, so I feel great about the roads there. Plus, I’m getting to team up with Ken [Block] and his Monster World Rally Team for the race, which is absolutely awesome. Between that and getting to drive the same-level car that just won Sweden a few weeks ago, I can’t wait. Mexico’s going to be great.”
While currently only a one-off situation, Atkinson’s teammate, Ken Block, is excited about having a partner for Mexico.
“ATKO’s an incredible driver and we’ve been friends for a few years now,” said Block. “Obviously, I’m thrilled that he’s going to be joining me in Mexico as a teammate and racing for MWRT. Mexico’s already one of my favorite races of the year and this is going to make it that much better.”
For the event, ATKO will be fully supported by MWRT with a livery that borrows elements from Block’s, as well as livery matching Alpinestars driving suits, DC Shoes driving shoes, special ATKO team t-shirts, plus PR support and being included in the team’s daily video updates that will be released under Ken Block’s Facebook fan page.

Good luck for the mexico rally for you and atko

At long last Akto's back....lookout Loeb cos rather than eating snails you'll be made to look like one!!!!!! Go you good thing...
Mr.Block and MWRT, Please let Atko drive in all rallies Ken can't this year in WRC. You got us all excited, last year saying, "We want to do a full WRC season"... Now only 3 rounds!!? If Block has prior commitments (Awesome commitments none the less) why not give Atko what Subaru couldn't!!!
Same here from England, Chris needs to do full season it'll be a great chance for him to prove his skills. As many people as possible need to see this amazing livery its the best looking car ever, can't wait to see what Atko's car looks like its gonna be a sight to behold.
