Ken Block @ Top Gear

Another sweet ride with Ken "thumbsup"

Must have been shot in HD...the darkish contrast of the whole thing looks pretty cool. 8)
 
So Ken Block is just the new rage right? Besides the DC shoes thing...
 
The only thing that gets me on these ken block videos is that with the VCD cranked to the front wheels in a awd car, you can get it completly sideways and save it effortlessly with just a little throttle. Don't get me wrong he has some skills, but loads of money and months in the editing room can make anything look good. Personally i'm not impressed, Tanner can out drive his ass anyday of the week!
 
too bad the american version will just be a blatant rip off and suck major ass.

i didn't mean it in that context, i meant that BBC America channel is about one to 2 seasons behind the actual BBC rotation...

i'm also wondering now if top gear is going to do a piece on either the Baja, or some shortcourse racing...

It's never coming, they keep cancelling it coming here. Though honestly I'd rathe watch BBC's Top Gear than a stupid US version.

Do you not watch the videos? Look at the tires tracks. It's not like its covered in rubber. It clearly looks as though he's run it a few times, but its not like this is his 400th try.

Tanner Foust is a douche. Meet him once and you will not have the same opinion of the guy. He's perfect for Drift...all style no worry about time like a real race driver.

Never said it took him 400 tries, if you would have read I was clearly pointing out with his car setup a 15y/o could get the same result. Not to mention with the director in the background yelling CUT. Do you really think the moving/flying planes in the background are regular people? Its all staged, shot in small clips. I dont even think the tires can handle that much abuse for that period of time (if it really was one full run)

As for Tanner, met him on several occasions. Aswell as Ken at the Oregon rally just over a month ago. Both class act guys, maybe it was you that was the douche?:)
