Ken Block Gymkhana 3

He's driving a "Fiesta" in this one, pointless, but impressive.

New tyres please !

2nd bend and he crashes... then afew later he hits a cone. On every shot theres skid marks showing hes tried once already, inc an obvious big mistake at 4:08 where he clearly wiped the tyres out!

As always, its fast, scripted, heavily edited and not precise enough for true autocross/autotest.
Always a good watch though.

And if they were to design a rally stage like that he might actually do better





I have decided to call my Westfeild "The Caterhammer" Hopefully it will

Let's be honest...it's not really a Fiesta is it - 650bhp, 0-60 in 1.2s...

Looks impressive, but I'd like to see how his time for the circuit would compare to someone like Sebastien Loeb.

People complained before that it was all too well rehearsed. Then they complain that he makes mistakes.

Come on, he's not God, he's a shoe salesman!

He's also, however you look at it, very very talented behind the wheel.

I've been a passenger a couple of times with professional drivers and besides being very entertaining it really only served to remind me that I am not a driving god - not yet anyway

I could have done that much better than he did - well, that bit where he hit the wall anyway.

even if it's scripted/reheased etc etc.........you'll still watch it many times.....but a fair comment about putting him against other skilled drivers. I'm not sure about Tiff though - he's skilled and good at hooning but is he this precise enough?

Here's a thought....

What about a motorsport triathlon event?

Take a selection of the top F1, WRC and MotoGP drivers/riders and run a multi-discipline event of all 3 forms of motorsport.

Needel? I assume your talking about giving him a run for how many times he crashes?!
