(Jhon 12.35) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

This is really poignant. I'm so glad that over the last few years Lia and Ken made these incredible memories and shared such an amazing time together. I'm also glad that we were able to follow along, and watch Lia's progression into becoming a talented and fearless driver of many vehicles and disciplines. I hope in time, if it's something Lia wants to do, that she isn't put off from following in her dad's footsteps, and that she's able to follow her own path in something she's clearly very good at. I was so gutted when I heard the news tonight and I'm pretty sure the worldwide community is united in grief right now, whether it's regular people like me or the most famous names in motorsport. Everyone is sending Lia and the whole Block family and Hoonigan team all the love.

I'm in my fifties and I still remember just how stressfull it was driving in traffic at first. You KNOW all these things you should keep track of but it seems fscking impossible to do them all all the time every time and never miss something critical. It's sensory overload at the same time as you are very aware of the hundreds of other drivers you are sharing the road with. Drivers you hope are more capable, attentive and experienced with city traffic than you are. But at the same time you know that a lot of them are talking on the phone, doing their makeup, are lost in thoughts about work, love, life in general and spend minimal thought on driving. Your eyes flicker mirror, mirror, straight, left, right, mirror wait was that a sign? That flash was that something important? And so it goes on and on. Your brain don't know what to prioritize wo you try to watch everything at the same time and that leads to stress and you WILL miss something. And that leads to doubt and more stress... Note that this doesn't really have much to do with your driving skill. You can be an expert at handling the car, and still get stressed by external input as you have so many things to keep track of and so little time to do it. Drivning on a track you can concentrate on handling, the track and speed. You don't have to worry about cars on crossing roads, red light, the right of way, stop signs, speed limits, school zones, kids chasing balls, bicyclists, people crossing the road and all other things going on often at the least convenient moment. And you are just responsible for your life and not for anyone else on the road, and that's scary.

Loved these videos perhaps the most. Really sad about to read we lost this life enjoying man. At the very least there are some media to remember him by and people he's shaped in this world to reflect some pieces of him. All the best and strength to everyone, especially his family!

Lia, not sure if you will read this, but I want you to know that your dad was an amazing man, and still is in our hearts. I am sure that He is so proud of you, and he will be watching you carry out his legacy from above. Sending love from all his fans, and to your family in this very difficult time.❤

My condolences Lia, your dad will always be proud of you, and you will be the light that shines in his absence. You are an amazing person and driver. Any father would be happy to have you

Lia I hope you see this. I'm so sorry for your loss. BUT..... I really hope it doesn't deter you from your dreams. Risk and reward go hand in hand, your Dad knew that better than anyone. I just want you to know that. Be strong, stay safe and keep doing what you love because it's what he would have wanted. You have something special just like your Dad. We the community are with you 100%. Keep going and don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. I lost my Dad to a motorbike accident a few years back, it was the worst day of my life, yet here I am riding motorbikes and doing dumb stuff. You got this. All the best Lia.

Instantly thought of this video when I seen the news.. Lia, I'm so sorry.. Stay strong and keep the legacy going.. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next but in the meantime from all of yours and your dad's fans were sending you good vibes and you're in our thoughts and prayers.. Fly high Ken

Man she’s so lucky. I just got my license as well. She’s so lucky to have a dad with the connections ken has! Lia’s car is sick! ✌🏼

It's so funny, because I've made so many comments about how cool and calm Lia has been in all of the This vs That races and such. So, dad should have taught you this lesson in that moment, but was trying to just let you do your thing, but don't let the pressure of other people make you nervous or anxious. You're feeling the pressure of holding up others and allowing that to impact your thought process. The fastest path to you getting comfortable is ignoring and tuning all that out. EDIT: oh man, the memories, my 86 Audi 4000 had the warm footwell, and while my dash was not fully free floating like yours LIa, mine was VERY wiggly!

Rest in piece Ken🕊 you inspired me as a child to love cars and everything about it thank you

I had this and the second vid in the build series sitting in my watch list for about a month. I had to watch both today, January 3, 2023 after hearing about the sudden loss of Ken today. The relationship between Lia and her dad, and everyone around him shows just what an amazing human Ken Block was (It's surreal to write "was"), besides being a kick ass driver, business person and trailblazer. He will be dearly missed by all. May he shred many tires on the rally tracks of the great beyond.

Lia I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was an icon to gear heads all over the world. It is evident through watching these videos, how much you meant to him. You have, are and will continue to make him proud. You’re going through something no child should ever have to experience. Just know that the motorsports world and it’s fans share this grief. God bless and stay strong..

May you live on and continue to love this expedition with your father! Rip Ken and don’t let this stop you from doing what you love!

Love how excited Ken is, grinning the whole time.

Seriously funny video. We get to see more and more of Lia's personality in each video. Her expressions and reactions are hysterical. Watching Ken laugh at her test worries after rallying at 100mph and drag racing a 1400HP custom monster Mustang at 160mph is priceless

The fact they got the project car done for Lia is a big thing and i believe she will remember that forever, i know projects i did with my Dad i remember fondly. R.I.P. Ken and Lia you got some big shoes to fill if you want to continue on in Racing, and i believe you will fill them quite well if you stick with it.

As a father myself, the license prank was epic! Dad jokes are one of our duties, and Ken did us proud as always! He was a GREAT man, a WONDERFUL father, and the BEST DRIVER I've ever seen! He amazed and inspired countless people, and will be missed by the world. Kill some tires for Ken! 🇺🇸💪

Your father was an amazing human from every aspect. I'm so sorry thinking about how bad you're going to miss him. I've been watching gymkhanas and crying for 3 hours. You were so blessed. You are so blessed

The cutaways are freaking gold ✨️

I couldn't stop grinning the whole time. Daddy-daughter moments for the Audi and the DL. Congrats Lia! And for Ken...the sleepless nights begin 🤣

It’s so special that you shared these amazing moments with us. You seemed so psyched for Lia always

Seeing the original 06’ STI in the corner made it come full circle for me. I started watching Ken in 07’ when he debuted that car in “Gymkhana practice” and I was only 16… 33 now with my own family, my own daughter and son, my own Subaru to look back on. It’s insane how time flies, Ken isn’t with us but I realized that he made a giant impact on the course of my life. Seeing him as a dad and HOW he approached fatherhood just warms my heart. No way we can fathom their grief, but we can’t deny our own. Legit tears for losing this man. He was my hero half my life.

Thanks for taking us along on this milestone and congrats Lia!!

This was recorded on such an awesome level! Also congretz to Lia, I wish those series were like 12-piece instead of 3! It was a total blast seeing Ken in a role of dad, he raised her very well! 🙌

We now need: Scotto’s Quattro, Ken’s Quattro and Lia’s Quattro lined up next to each other on display! The Hooni-Quatro’s!

Watching this after the news❤

This is so awesome! As someone who is starting to build up their own collection of oldschool 5 cylinder Audis I love that you guys and girls are giving them the attention they deserve

My thoughts are with Lia and the whole family. Such sad news to have lost Ken. I wish the family lots of strength. Thank you Ken for your many gifts to this world
