LOL, not likely. He could score points for Ford though. That would be very exciting.
I dont know if im wrong, correct me if I am but isnt he the first black man to race in the WRC ? I know Shekhar Mehta used to rally on world events back in the 1970s but the WRC didnt exist back then so technically he is the first black man to race in the WRC.

John and Mike are on their second day of pace notes, and today is the official scrutineering. The pace note cars are all Volvo S60 with full cages, seats, harnesses, headsets, GPS, and as strange as it is - 2 hand brakes, one normal and one hydraulic. The Ford and M-Sport Team all move together, and this morning it was a crazy sight this morning with John, Mike, Latvala, Solberg, and Tanak all heading out of the carpark.
We are going to scope out the service park in a bit, internet is slower than dial up so pictures are going to be a task. Will keep you posted.

keep it coming buddy........
Powell, who was born in Jamaica but now lives in Trinidad and Tobago, will become the first Caribbean driver to pilot a new-generation World Rally Car when he tackles the 2012 WRC season-closer in a Ford Fiesta RS WRC for M-Sport.
“I feel like the Jamaican bobsleigh team from the Olympics,” Powell told WRC.com. “You only see WRC on TV or on YouTube so to be with these guys as the first driver from the Caribbean in a factory car is unbelievable. I am definitely out of my water but if I can get to the end, hopefully Malcolm [Wilson] will give me another opportunity next year.”
Powell combines running a business with a successful career in local and regional rallies in the Caribbean and Central America. He admits he’s facing a “baptism of fire” on the Salou-based event.
“It’s a dream come true to be here,” said Powell. “But my feet haven’t touched the ground since I’ve got here but my ass, if you excuse me, certainly has because I’ve never spent so long doing my pace notes. I’ve never done stages this long before, I’m used to 6.5 kilometres not 44 kilometres.
“I’ve driven the car for about 20 minutes on the airfield in Cumbria and I also went with Matthew [Wilson] for a bit. He’s a very good driver and a very good guy but that’s been it. I know my pace is nowhere near this level so I start conservative and get into the stages. It’s going to be a baptism of fire.”
