Brand new: Ken Block’s Gymkhana 4

Posted on 17. Aug, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.

How weird is that – we were just joking about the Danny Macaskill video we posted the other day being like a Ken Block video and here today is a brand new Ken Block video – with a very lame weird ending.

Sometimes it feels like we’re channeling some kinda cosmic brainwave stuff over here.

With news this hour that car madman Ken Block may get himself an F1 drive at Monza, we subsequently discovered a new film of the DC shoes man taking a leisurely drive around that ol’ Battersea Powerstation.

Is he going to powerslide an F1 car around an Italian circuit for 2 hours we wonder? He’s going to make Lewis Hamilton look like a law abiding citizen.

DC Shoes and Ken Block are back doing the crazy car tricks again

Ken Block is admired from as far afield as Parow to the international stage of Top Gear. As the co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of DC Shoes – he has an intersting approach when it comes to advertising the company.

Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas –Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals. Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge. The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming.

Not sure if we want the shoes or the car or wanna sign up for flying lessons, but it’s great branded entertainment. He should apply to be the new Stig.

It’s a bit Parow – but we still love watching this lunatic burn that Subaru.
