THE MOST amazing display of driving I've ever seen. And the car's not too shabby either!

Good thing they had all the streets blocked off. If he does this very often, he must have a large tire bill!

 

[Fishinkeylargo]

Some cool driving.

That my friend is Ken Block. Is a rally car driver and the owner CEO of DC shoes. Those videos are called Gymkarna or something like that. He has done 5 or 6 of them and they are all available in YouTube. And they are very well done. They block off public toads when necessary and yes. I'm sure he has a serious tire bill. The car isn't cheap either. A full blow WRC cup car is big bucks.

Gymkhana - vintage roots!

The Lotus/Caterham Super 7 (and clones) are still made today and are great fun to drive - the power-to-weight ratio is amazing. A totally different beast that the AWD mustang!

I bet he's a Steve Mcqueen fan!

If you like Ken's vids (how could one not!) he has a bunch on You Tube.

The production values are great as well - watch it again and add up the boom shots, helicopters etc. Oh - and to get permits to close how many sq miles of city streets. The added resources and great editing are nice tools but the driver/car/driving - that HAS to be there, can't make that up in post production!!!!

 

[Scalpel]

All I can say is "Wow"

 

[stupimlico]

Scared me when he went around the donut shop...thought for sure he was gonna clip a parking bumper...I might have puckered a little at that moment.

 

[WartHog354]

The car is in the current issue of Hot Rod. I've heard of him and have seen a couple of the previous Gymkhana productions. Just awesome!

 

[darbo]

I have seen this and he is a rather amazing driver!

So the first few block videos were good, then I disapproved. I reapprove.

 

[SIGnoramus]

That's just freakin' impressive.

 

[ISSMER]

That guy in that car has a chance of getting away the PD. Wheelman advertising.

 

[Lmstncwby]

Now, that is wild!!!

 

[ISSMER]

Can you imagine how much different the Dukes of Hazard or Knight Rider would have been if he was cast instead of the Hoff or Schneider/Wopat?

I sent this video off to our son.
I just got a reply from him:

"I Have a funny feeling that's exactly what happens when Mom finds out that there's a fabric sale going on."

 

[GhostHorse]

Oh yeah, some folks need four wheels for this kind of thing.
