Would love to go for a drive with Ken Block thru Calgary and then a quick drive up to Edmonton for a leisurely drive...even in his ford fiesta. His latest video is pretty cool.

FYI.. If you have Amazon Prime, they have the Gymkhana files + the Gymkhana 10 ?? Some binge watching ahead :) Instead of Oiler games, I'll watch this.

A truck makes everything that much better.

Those masonry arch tunnels in Mexico City were beautiful.

The stone masonry is nice. Too bad we don't do more of it here.

A couple guys mention Ken's F150 truck. Here's Ken talking about the build. A little long.

I love the sparking rims on the 91 Escort. I read he was driving it just on rims, no rubber. I thought it was just rim inserts.

That is nuts!! I wonder how often he doesn't quite thread the needle in those tight manoeuvers.

Definitely rims inserts. The Prime Video shows them building the rims with inserts.

Ken is a great driver, but most of these shots took multiple takes, and usually with repairs in between. Not bashing Him at all, it's just reality.

It was interesting watching the Prime shows as Ken was usually the one pushing the envelope, not the producer/or anyone else. Usually it's the other way around.

All those shiny Fords, and not a single Pinto in the lineup. :sHa_sarcasticlol:
OT- If you like Ken Block's videos, check out BJ Baldwin's Recoil series on Youtube.

Ken Block has passed the Gymkhana series torch to Travis Pastrana and his 862HP Subaru STI.

Ken's contract with Ford has expired, now he is a free agent. Expect to see him slinging rubber under other banners in the near future. Wonder if he gets to keep the 1400HP Hoonicorn? :thinking-006:
