Block will get his hands on a 2009 Toyota F1 car at the Monza circuit courtesy of Pirelli, the company that supplies all tyres to the Formula One championship. The same company supplies the tyres for Block's Ford rally car and uses the Toyota F1 car to test tyres for the current F1 cars.
On announcing the test session, Block said: "I can't wait to discover Formula One myself. I need to be realistic about what I can do, but I know it's going to be a lot of fun." Given Block's usual drift style, expect to see some tyre-smoking antics.
