Ken Blocked: Rally driver too big for F1 car

Ken Block (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ken+block) was prepared to suit up for some seat time in Pirelli's Toyota TF109 Formula One test car (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/13/ken-block-set-for-f1-test-at-monza/). Problem is, the car wasn't prepared to suit Block. The man is too large for the seat, which typically holds diminutive F1 pilots. No, he's not too fat, Block is just too tall to fit inside the car.

According to Autosport, Block was able to wrangle his Gymkhana-built body into the cockpit of the slim racer, but once team members tried to attach the steering wheel, fit issues became clear. Those who helped organize the test are looking into alternative vehicles for Block to drive. His test date was scheduled for August 5 at Monza's Italian Grand Prix. No word on whether the test has been pushed to a later date pending further modifications to the car or.... umm... Block.
