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.

    RIP to the GOAT. This video was the very thing to begin my taste in cars and love for driving like a madman. I hope his family and friends can take some solace in knowing how many people Ken inspired.

    Rest in peace Ken. This was the very first video of his I ever saw, and I've been a fan of his ever since. Go show God some hooning big guy 💚🖤🤍

    This was the first video I ever saw of Ken, passed on to me in an e-mail chain back in 2010. Probably one of the biggest reasons for my obsession with Motorsport today. RIP to a hero, Ken Block #43.

    This video alone solidified me as a fan when this first came out. Not only you have touched me, but you have touched millions of people across the world. From young kids, who are just starting to get into cars to veterans who been in this sport for years. Thank you for the many years of passion and excitement. RIP Ken Block

    Rip king. This was one of the catalyst videos that got me passionate about cars. A true icon and one of a kind behind the wheel. You’ll be missed, Ken.
  • @Blaza303
    My first ever exposure to him, i grew up playing Dirt 3, watching his gymkhana videos and was thrilled everytime he appeared on the Hoonigans, to say he'll be missed is an understatement
  • @wilyamiyoo
    This gymkhana is the reason why a lot of Fiestas in our country got rallyfied instead of stanced. RIP, Ken. I'll always have a core memory of your Gymkhana vids with me til I die.
  • @lukeario3980
    RIP Ken, you’re the reason I know rally and rally cross. You introduced me into a saga of games I love, and I can’t believe I’ll only ever get to race against your AI in DiRT 3. Thank you for being such a source of inspiration for me.

    That car must be ridiculously fun to drive. Light, short, awd and crazy power.

    RIP to a legend I remember being in middle and high school with my homies being in awe at his driving, he definitely influenced my current lifestyle, im going through watching all his gymkhana and rally videos, thank you for so many amazing moments
  • @saswatsnayak102030
    I remember watching this back in 2013, he's truly a legend, we'll never get another rally legend like him
  • @typhoon5000
    This is still the best Gymkhana out of the series IMO. I just think there's something about it being about pure driving technique and less about special effects. This one is more like a Guy Richie film where the new ones are more like Michael Bay, you know what I mean?
  • @Beppo_
    Rest in Pepperoni - Back tires You will be missed...
  • @1Kensei
    I discovered you through this video which was recorded meters from my home. Thank you for everything you did, and Rest in Peace Ken
