Kira Block

Kira Block is carving her own path in motorsports while balancing artistic talents, having recently achieved her first podium and first-place win in kart racing while also creating and donating artwork for motorsport events.

EARLY YEARS

Born into the Block racing dynasty, Kira grew up immersed in the world of motorsports as the daughter of legendary driver Ken Block and alongside her siblings Lia and Mika[2][3]. From an early age, she was exposed to the family business of speed, with her father sharing that he found himself “traveling around with them to various activities like karting, horseback riding, and more”[4]. Karting became her first real taste of competitive racing, where she began developing her skills alongside her siblings at local tracks.

EARLY SUCCESS

Kira’s racing journey began on small tracks with big ambition. While her sister Lia garnered early headlines, Kira steadily built her foundation in club-level karting competitions, demonstrating a competitive spirit that marked her as a talent to watch[5]. A significant personal milestone came when she inherited her father Ken’s famed unicorn Mustang—creating a meaningful connection to her family’s racing legacy while beginning to write her own story[3]. Recently, Kira achieved a breakthrough moment with her first podium and first-place win in kart racing, a significant achievement marking her progression in the sport[3]. In 2025, she continued advancing her career by moving up levels in the kart class, showcasing her development as a racer[4].

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

• 2025: Progression to higher levels in kart class racing[4].
• Recent: First podium and first-place win in kart racing[3].
• Recent: Created and donated a painting for a significant motorsports event, demonstrating her artistic talents alongside racing abilities[1].

REPUTATION

While still in the early stages of her career, Kira is establishing herself as more than just another racer with the Block name. Her unique combination of artistic talent and racing skill sets her apart in the motorsports community[1]. Rather than living in the shadow of her sister Lia’s headline-grabbing accomplishments or her father’s legendary status, she’s demonstrating determination to forge her own identity. Her participation in the family’s racing ventures has taken her to legendary tracks like Monza, building her reputation as a developing talent with global experience[5]. Like her father, Kira has shown resilience and perseverance, getting back up after setbacks and continuing to push boundaries in her racing development.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Based at the Block family racing headquarters in Park City, Utah, Kira is positioned to continue her ascent through the karting ranks as she builds experience and skills[5]. While specific details about future racing plans, team affiliations, or sponsor partnerships aren’t explicitly stated, her active participation in the family’s global racing ventures suggests ongoing competitive development in 2025 and beyond. As part of the Block racing legacy and the work of the 43 Institute established in her father’s memory, Kira appears positioned to continue carving new roads for driven young racers like herself[2][5].
