GRRL! SUMMARY:
- LIA BLOCK, 20, confirms her first-ever competitive outing in Australia, driving a Skoda Rally2 at the ARC Festival in Adelaide alongside the Supercars Championship finale.
- The daughter of the late Ken Block, LIA carries the family rally legacy to Adelaide — a city that honoured her father with a tribute livery at the 2023 Supercars event.
- LIA secured O2WD Class honours in the American Rally Association in 2023 and added a UTV class win at the Baja 1000 the same year, showing cross-discipline range.
- After notching her first Formula 1 Academy win at Singapore in 2025 as a Williams Driver Academy member, LIA has pivoted back to rallying full-time in 2026.
- 4WD Central and founder Chris Carney are backing LIA’s Australian debut, helping bridge the gap between her US rally base and the southern hemisphere rally scene.
UPCOMING:
- ARC Festival & NAPA Speedway, Adelaide (in support of BP Adelaide Grand Final Supercars round) — November 26-29, 2026
