Gymkhana 3!

[Car Freak]

Yep, everyone's favourite not-really-all-that-great American rally driver/hoon is back with more tyre-smoking and -shredding goodness...

 

 

Also, a whole new definition of the word "fart can" has been introduced here... :rolleyes:

[DomSupra]

Block standing on the banked turn makes me want to do it too..

 

Awesome video, especially the bit where he drift up the bank.

[Sponge]

Got to say, He's a really talented driver. I also like how he keeps his "Mistakes" in. Such as hitting the wall near the start (look for the black smudge) and also how he clips a few cones.

 

Most people would edit them out, but not Mr Block. Good on him.

[T0M722]

^ They're minor though. He could've made some massive cock-ups and then done it again. But anyway, that was awesome. I love all the videos he does. I think the new car is just as good as the WRX. Didn't he have a Focus RS as well though?

[And3rs]

And the end they show us that he cant afford new tires.. True story.

[Penfold]

I love this video! He's awesome, saw him driving like a looney round the rally stage at goodwood :)

not-really-all-that-great

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. :lol:

[Ryzza5]

It's a good thing the guy on the Segway didn't see those early mistakes :D

 

Some nice new moves there - that is one agile car (oh and Ken's not that bad either) :p

[mau92]

some anti-physic maneuvers all over minute 3

[Car Freak]

You guys do notice it wasn't done all in one take right? Notice the rain-soaked track in the middle of the video, then after that it gets dry again ;)

 

I'm not going to doubt the awesomeness of his gymkhana videos, because they make for really good entertainment, but Kenny B isn't a proper racing driver. He's (essentially) a rich skateboarder who attended a rally school one day, then huge sponsorship allowed him to get all the top-of-the-line machinery, which is why he's relatively successful in Rally America

[Ryzza5]

I was fairly sure they soaked that with a fire truck or similar so that he could pull off that particular manuevre.

 

TopGear were originally going to wet their entire track each time to keep the SIARPC lap times consistent, but that would've been way too expensive.

[ScoobSTi]

Loved watching it, but I think Ken shows off a bit too much...I mean, he's done how many donuts in how many minutes?

^This.

[Ryzza5]

Yeah - I've been watching the WRC and on the few stages he's entered he's either been out of the top 10, or has crashed out while around in 8th to 12th place. Still, he was the quickest American there :)

 

Loeb is quite remarkable to watch as well sometimes, although he's taking it easy now since he's practically already won the world championship.

[Car Freak]

Good as he is, I actually resent Loeb and Citroen, for turning the WRC into a parallel of the Schumi/Ferrari era in F1, i.e. you can almost always bank on them for a win. Of course, that's not helped by the fact that there's only 2 factory teams in the Championship...

 

Man, I really really miss the WRC of the mid-late 90s

[pascallll]

That's just an epic vid. I'fe wached gymkhana 2 over 20 times now.

I do think he should use his Focus WRC

[RRacer]

Awesome vid! Ken block is the best driver in the world!

[The Compensator]

Gymkhana 1 and 2 were better than this...he's making donuts and donuts. He is big marketing thing with some talent, in my opinion
