Default New Ken Block gymkhana

No one's posted the video for Ken Block's new gymkhana video yet?

It seems to remind me of something... but I can't put my finger on it.

Guy can slide a car around, that's for sure. Now if ford would sell a fiesta all wheel drive with about 300 hp, that could be a fun daily.

I hate to say this, but what's the point? Clearly his ability to slide around didn't help him much in WRC. I guess it's entertaining for a couple of minutes, but you're bored by minute 3.

I agree.

The only cool part was the jetpack segway...

Gymkhana one FTW

I saw his previous video that he did at the abandoned velodrome in France with his 600hp AWD Fiesta. Now that one was never boring, especially when up on banking at high speed. That Fiesta is a little rocket sled that Block has remarkable control of at full throttle. At end, the tires on that Fiesta were nothing buy smoking hulks. Btw, I believe it has been confirmed that Ford will be doing a Fiesta ST 1.6L turbo with about 180hp. And it was announced today by Left Lane News that Ford will introduce its Focus ST at the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend with 2.0L twin turbo producing about 250hp. It will come with 6 speed manual. With the Boss Mustang and GT, Ford will finally have a decent lineup for the enthusiast. The Focus ST will be at dealerships next spring and I don't know when the Fiesta ST will appear.
