Lia and Lucy Block Race the Baja 1000, for the first time EVER in a Can-Am Maverick R
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- The Baja 1000 is incredibly tough, unforgiving, and has a steep learning curve - perfect for us to attempt for our first time ever, right? Can-Am Offroad gave us an incredible opportunity to race here in a Maverick R last November, and we couldn’t say no. We called it Project 43: in memory of Ken Block, the whole reason we even considered doing this race.
It was an adventure, to say the least. So we made this mini-doc about the journey. We hope you enjoy it!
BIG thanks to everyone who helped make this race possible for us:
Can-Am
Toyo Tires
Monster Energy
Hoonigan
KMC Wheels
Kubota
Alpinestars
Long Drink
GoPro

It’s amazing how hard you worked to get to this point Lia!! Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to watch your future races!
Up next > 2025 Dakar Raid Rally > Go team Block#43 !!!
Big fan from the other side of the ocean Europe ! Go Lia we believe in you !!!
I want to see the whole block house do each race in tribute to Kent block
Keep it Hoodigan block House
Man, with the whole mass exodus going on at Hoonigan, Its great to know that the legacy of Ken is still burning white hot. Godspeed Lia snd Blockhouse Racing.
That moment when they heart all other comments but not yours!
Would be interesting to get a Block family take on Hoonigan and the big changes.
Do you know if they have to reduce the size of the team because sponsors may have left?
Ken Block was the reason why they all financed Hoonigan ! Nothing against the family, they are doing amazing, especially after tragic events. But maybe this is an obligation, a common decision. Unless there is more public information, I wouldn't necessarily judge the people involved.
I really hope the world embraces Lia like the world did Ken and she keeps strving to be as good as her dad was. She has the talent she could if she really wants it
@@Spidywomack
Well, let's be fair. She got famous thanks to her dad, but her dad built his career over decades.
So expecting her to be at his level of success at the moment is really asking too much ! She needs to grow up as a healthy teenager, become a young woman, become a great sister for her younger siblings, etc... She has a lot on her plate for a young woman of her age. Let's just be patient and not put expectations on her.
What matters in the end is that she grows the way she intends to.
@fabr5747 very fair point and i agree. Absolutely want her to be happy more than keeping all the fans happy. Can still hope it works out that way cause itd be awesome but totally ok if she doesnt. I guess thats part of the fun and the journey to see where it goes :)
As someone who has watched you all for years, starting with just Ken when it was just Ken, the kids really won the lottery twice with you Lucy. To have Ken as a dad is a once in a lifetime event, but then to have a mom who is just as bad ass, is amazing. Things might have ended with Ken if not for what you two created and built
My daughter is 8 so I know how proud Ken is. He will forever be by your side, especially when you’re sideways.
No Fear! KB43VER
We all know Lia is a badass - but so is Mama Block driving- you guys rock
Lucy + Kira ARA rally team up next? This video was awesome and congrats on a stellar performance. Excited to see what this channel will bring! Hopefully Williams will let you guys document Lia's F1 journey.
We're into this idea!
Glad to have had this pop up! Subscribed immediately. Happy to see y’all carrying on and being strong. Looking forward to fallowing y’all, for years to come! Any swag / shirts available?
Congratulations on winning the Baja 1000 to the Team 🎉 👍👍✌️🤙😀
@@georgedreisch2662 same here. I didn't even know this channel existed
@@BlockHouseRacing Opposite end of the scale challenge.... The world's premier solar car event relying on solar energy as its power source to travel 3,000 km across the Australian continent over the course of approximately 5 days.... ????
Such a amazing team work, obviously it`s not just a race team it`s a family whose members are dedicated.
It is awesome to see the Block family out there having fun. It will also be a pleasure to watch the racing world learn what Lia can do! You've got a bright future girl! Looking forward to seeing more of Block House Racing!
I hold massive respect for the entire Block family, from Lucy for being an amazing mother and driver, to Lia for pushing her limits, making it into F1 academy and winning not only rally, but also Baja 1000! And to Mika and Kira, for your dedication to UTV racing. You guys are an inspiration to, not only me, but a generation of racing drivers. Keep pushing it!
It warms my heart to see the Block family staying strong and carrying on. I'm glad to see you have such great friends to help and support you in continuing to do the things you love. Congratulations on your race win!
As the sun set for Ken, it is nice to see Kira and Lia grow in their own right and show two things a great team can help win races and that family wins hearts. I am excited to see what they do in the future! Block House Racing where family overcomes adversity!
thats a amazing win for you guys, amazing way to honor ken by wining the baja 1000
Outstanding, Congratulations to the whole team. Ken I guarantee was watching over everyone. Nothing is more special then to not only finish the Baja 1000 but to win The Baja 1000 with your Mom. Families that race together, stay together. God Bless. Thats awesome!!!
Good for the Missus! I too lost my wife a few yrs back, much earlier than I ever thought I would. I never imagined it but , life has its own destiny. I take inspiration from his wife and this video , not only carrying on, but for truly engaging and enjoying what she's doing.
A beautiful woman and her family keeping it all together. Thats a pretty awesome heartwarming thing.
In my own way, After 4 yrs, I took my Wife's Lil Toyota and decided to off road it up, always with her in the back of my mind. So far it's brings me solace and in a way peacefully connected, I talk to her often when wrenching & driving.
The Toyota people seem to love it, everywhere I go people give me thumbs up..From hard core to novices..people smile and This video, and the women's smiles remind me of my own👍
Hell yes ladies! , turn up some music and get on down with your bad selves..and enjoy what life offers you👍
Ken got me into watching rally racing and all the activity that he was doing during the pandemic. Glad the block family is continuing the legacy and building a new era. Wishing you all the success Block family. Continue to stay strong mama block you are doing a great job leading the team. Lia, you remind me of Ken so much. I see him in you. Keep rocking it and have fun racing.
Holy cow... The Block legacy continues.. I'm so happy. Please keep going. Y'all are my will power.
My heart is full. Ken was to racing/extreme sports kind of what Steve Irwin was to nature. Losing him created ripples across the human spectrum. To see you all so brave and excited and willing to pick up the mantle and carry forward is amazing. It comes with a cost. It is a burden. But with it, you will surely be continually rewarded. --43 Forever
The love for racing is in the entire family. Its nice to see that the family is holding strong Ken's Legacy and Lucy you are doing an amazing job alongside Lia helping the younger kids get through the tough times. I wish all of you the best in everything you do with this new channel.
i am proud to see these women not just riding on Ken's legacy, but truly pioneering their own. great work everyone, i can't wait to see the Block Dynasty conquer the racing world!
Absolutely love the start to the new channel! You can really feel that original Block DNA throughout the video. This is the kind of content I was hoping would happen. Congratulations 🎉 and keep on sending it!
I always got the warm and fuzzies whenever I saw Ken with Lia. Now I'm getting the warm and fuzzies from the rest of the family.
I am so happy to finally be able to see this video! Glad no one got hurt and it looked like you had a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures, thank you so much for sharing!
Yall made him Proud! GO FAM!
Everyone Misses Ken. I'm glad that the Block family is doing well and continues in the auto performance racing. I am happy for Lia too. She will be a legend one day.

It's nice to see you smile, your family is wonderful...!!! I have always admired your videos, made with extreme professionalism and competence, where the driver conveyed his confidence and skill. A hug and a greeting from one of your Italian admirers. Greetings from Rome.
I smashed that subscribe button.
It’s so heart warming to see them Block family pushing on Ken’s legacy.
And Lia…your dad must be super proud of you.
Ken Block would be so proud of you all for making this channel and competing in this race. ❤
What a perfect way to spend some family time block style. #43forever
Lucy, I’m so glad to see you show your children that if you work hard at what you love then you will be happy in life. At 46 I wished I would have done something with cars in my life. Yeah I make really good money, live by the beach in Florida but it’s because my high position at work. Instead of running a large division I would rather be working on cars daily. I have my toys but work comes first or I don’t have my toys. Your Husband and you Lucy inspired me to make a change in my life. Thank you.
I'm so glad to see the Block family and there crew doing well hats off Love You guys keep up the good work...
Thank you for racing. Means tons to me.
Your family got to love life with a hero.
Huge respect racint the baha 1000.

wow. What a family. First watching y'all do the Pike's Peak climb and now watching this, I just can't say enough about the quality of your family. It's hard for me to fight the tears seeing what you're doing in honor of Ken. Y'all are changing the world, just as Ken did. I don't think I'll ever stop watching the journey you're on. Thank you for sharing this video, it's incredibly inspiring and powerful. Much love to the whole Block family.
I always loved watching your dad's videos ... that being said I truly hope with all my heart you find as much joy driving as your dad did. And to see both (your new channel) & doing videos with your Mom ... I will ALWAYS be a subscriber. This world needs more women like you & your Mom.
I love this, such a strong family, much love. Ken block has been my hero and inspiration for every thing I do in life since I was really little, about 3 years old. I looked up to him as my superhero, and also a positive male role model bc I never had one. My dream is to be creative and follow my passion and I will do anything to be apart of racing. KB43ever❤️
Thank you for keeping the dream alive!!
High Blocktane activities long awaited for. We are with the Blocks all of the way!
Such a heartwarming video and amazing efforts of all involved to keep the Legacy going of the Block Family. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Lia in whatever discipline of motorsports she competes. Love the entire Block family and the tight knit group of friends they're supported by. Congratulations once more to you Lucy , especially how you press on in the toughest of times when everyone's emotions are so strong. No wonder Ken was such an awesome person, clearly he had a great Lady supporting him and doing a fine job raising those awesome kiddos!
My heart breaks and smiles all at the same time. Thought and prayers with all of you.
Fantastic, someone in heaven is so proud of you all.
You guys are fantastic. Ken would be sooo proud. Go Block House Racing.
