Rally driver Ken Block has sadly died at the age of 55 in a snowmobile accident, with tributes pouring in from across the sporting world for the "pioneer" racer.
The American star was known for his daring stunts behind the wheel, having competed in the World Rally Championship and been named Rally America Rookie of the Year back in 2005. Ken appeared in an episode of BBC's Top Gear in 2016 in which he drove around London with host Matt LeBlanc, and was also famous for the incredible stunts posted on his YouTube channel.
The star tragically posted a series of photos on Instagram just hours before his death of snowmobiles lined up in the winter landscape at his ranch in Utah as he shared his excitement at heading out into the snow. He had also shared a series of pictures of a Christmas holiday with his wife and three children just days earlier, writing: "Doesn't get much better than this".
