GTA Online players pay respects to Ken Block by recreating his classic Ford Mustang

Ken Block, the world-famous rally driver who tragically passed away yesterday following a snowmobile accident, is receiving loving memorials from the GTA Online community. In an act of memorial, some have recreated his iconic Mustang in game to send of the beloved sportsman.

While the cars in-game aren’t exact replicas, due to the lack of exact decals required to pull off the 1:1 copy, those sending off the driver have gotten as close as possible with the tools available. They’ve done so by applying the trademark black body colour with green and yellow decals on a Drift Tampa, a car based on the real world Mustang which had a home among Block’s illustrious car collection.

Once created, these cars were posted to the GTA Online SubReddit, where numerous fans of Block mourned his passing. “I found out through this post here.” Wrote user Extyrsys on the most popular memorial post. They continued: “... he was my driving idol, and the reason I got into cars and motorsports. Because of him, rally became my favourite motorsport. RIP.”

It's the final GTA Online weekly update for 2022, and Rockstar is helping you ring in the new year in style with a special free gift bundle for its Grand Theft Auto 5 online multiplayer game. There's also a new motorbike available, the all-electric Western Powersurge, which arrives as part of the rollout of vehicles from the recent GTA Online Los Santos Drug Wars update.

He's one of several Christmas treats now stocked on the streets of Los Santos, which also pack snowmen to destroy, rooftop shootouts and, for some reason, superpowered beasts getting chased by serial killers.

The latest GTA 5 update sees Rockstar's sandbox game get into a festive, but characteristically brutal spirit, adding a new random event inspired by Die Hard, and the opportunity to chase down and murder beloved Dr. Seuss creation The Grinch, the ideal way to spend Christmas in GTA Online, and proof there's still plenty more to come as we await the GTA 6 release date.
