Gymkhana 8 - Ken Block w/ 2017 Focus RS & 2017 Red GT
- Thread starter Ed Sims
- Start date
As each new video shows up I'm left wondering.....""how many different authorities have to sign-off to make that happen?" Block truly is a creative wizard behind the wheel.....kinda reminds me of Bonnie's description of her ride with Mark at RX!
Where does one begin?
"Please hoon responsibly."
The cheetah. Hysterical.
The various supercar "police cars." Unbelievable.
I'm sure Ford had some uptight moments with the red GT inches away from a controlled slide.
Was that a new Focus RS in the blue just after the GT?
Is his transmission on sequentially up or down?
I think Mr. Block has a screw loose, & the leap from the chopper proves it.

If that wasn't the best one, it sure is close. Amazing. How about the concentration by the raptor driver. Also notice closely how many of the shots were the 1st take (no prior skid marks). And on the 747, car wont fit under the engines, so the constraints are even tighter that it looks. Lastly at the beginning, I bet hitting the sand across the road hurt!
With the Red GT, we know when this was shot, around the time of the Dubai auto show, which was just after SEMA if I recall.
So Imagine the initial planning, everyone sits down at the conference table, "you want to do WHAT?"

Superb. Just shows Ford's commitment to connect with the entire range of auto enthusiast. Block is a nut . . . . in a good way.

Well, hopefully the Focus RS's will be 2016 models..... if they ever manage to get production ramped up after some delays the past 3 weeks or so.....
Im not a big youtube guy, so I had never looked to see if youtube was on Roku, sure enough, it is (as I expected), so watched this again last night, but at 75" diagonal. Then watched 3 others, will watch the remaining 4 tonight. So far this is still my favorite.
Very disappointed in you Mr. AV. YouTube and Vimeo streamed to the big TV is the best way to watch car stuff.
