I believe the car Block used in Europe in 2014 wasn't his GRX Fiesta (the RX43), it was a second M-Sport car. That Fiesta was subsequently used by Niclas Gronholm and is the car that Nitiss won the Euro title with last year.

My experience as a spectator (Loheac 2014) was the same as yours though: the car sounded absolutely savage on the overrun. I hope the Thomas car sounds like that!
"GRX owner, Marcus Gronholm, concluded: “We have a new car for this year - it’s the Fiesta RX that was raced previously by Ken Block.""

But I agree fully, the M-Sport is a magnificent car.
