I was just about to post this up here! I'm a big fan of Ken Block's Gym videos. This isn't my favorite of them, but it's still fun. It's a shame he wrecked so often in WRC.

Ken Block is sick! I like Tanner Foust the most, he's hillarious on Top Gear US, and Travis Pastrana as well. Though I am not a fan that they all switched to the Ford this year.

To do most of his tricks in an STi, you'd have to disconnect the transfer box

AWD won't drift like Ken...

I agree - I liked his "less gimmicky" ones on city streets and real-world sites vs. this contrived GRID. But I smell a video game coming soon, don't you think?

In GRC and WRC there are less controlled circumstances and no "2nd takes". The clock in WRC and wheel-to-wheel in GRC are equalizers.

Thanks for posting.

But my all-time Ken Block favorite still has to be Gymkhana 5 thru the streets of San Francisco. Un-freaking-believable!!

That's the truth. Although he always did well in Rally America, but those aren't WRC drivers he's up against. And you can always see the marks from his practice in any of the videos.

Regardless, no denying the man has skills and these are fun videos.

I still like the first one best. I like that it's not so commercialized.

If you haven't seen this parody, it's fun too
