Ken Block’s Gymkhana Nine – Raw Industrial

The Hoonigan, Ken Block, is back with another in his Gymkhana series and this time he is in industrial, run down New York. With more crazy stunts in his new, more powerful Ford Focus, including almost being t-boned by a train, this keeps the franchise going with style.

Drift City Cape Town

We about to get all Fast & Furious in Cape Town this week!

“Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and on Sunday 10th April 2016 the fire will be burning under Table Mountain, between the Castle of Good Hope and Cape Town City Hall thanks to a slew of the land’s most wicked sideways machinery. The Grand Parade at the heart of The city will play host to Cape Town’s premiere motorsport festival, dubbed Drift City.
The organisers have partnered with the City of Cape Town and Monster Energy Drinks to make sure that Drift City will endure as the most memorable celebration of smoking rubber and tortured tyres. You don’t want to miss this, and since a mere R80 for an adult ticket gets you through the doors there’s no reason to. Bring the kids (under 6) along for free.
Come for the tricked out BMWs, Nissans, Toyotas and more. Stay for the festival.
EMPHASIS ON FESTIVAL
You’re not going to struggle to keep the family entertained as Drift City will also feature go-karts and a skate park for your enjoyment. Food trucks will keep hunger at bay and if you really, absolutely feel the need to get closer to the action there’ll even be shotgun-rides on offer for spectators. Where else can you get strapped into a 500 horsepower drift machine and enjoy those smoky slides and that bouncing rev limiter in the most beautiful corner of the world from the passenger seat?
Book your tickets at computicket for the event of the century.

#BattleDrift – 550 HP 5.0L V-8 Mustang RTR vs 650 HP V-12 Drift Lamborghini

If you are a petrol head this video was made for you! You going to want to put on your best headphones or play it on the biggest surround sound system you can find.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. heads to Niigata, Japan in his 550 HP 5.0L V-8 Mustang RTR to take on Daigo Saito’s 650 HP V-12 Drift Lamborghini. Built by Liberty Walk and Phat Five racing, Saito’s AWD to RWD converted beast is looking for a fight. The two drift legends head to Niigata, Japan to battle it out on a tough run as they head into the abandoned Niigata Russian Village. Like something from a post apocalyptic world, the village provides the perfect backdrop for these outrageous machines to create some mayhem. After watching this video, if your dreams aren’t filled with the sweet sounds of a V-8 Muscle Car battling against a V-12 Supecar, something is seriously wrong with you. Put on a pair of headphones or hook up a nice set of speakers and Crank the Volume! #BATTLEDRIFT

Gymkhana Seven – Ken Block unleashed on LA

I often wondered how they were going to step up the Gymkhana series this year after 6 almighty efforts already. Teaming up with the Need for Speed crew, Ken built a custom Mustang that has enough power to launch a space shuttle and unleashed it on the streets and freeways of Los Angeles.

Gymkhana SIX: The Ultimate Gymkhana Grid Course

Wow, what can I actually say about this the 6th edition of Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos other than that it kicks ass, just like it’s predecessors. Literally almost a billion views over the last 5 years and in one day it already has over 2 million views on version 6. The new Need for Speed Rivals game are involved, he burns rubber around Lamborghinis, gets a soundtrack from Slayer and basically makes us all wish we were Hoonigans. Enjoy…

Drifting the Crown Range with Mad Mike and Red Bull

With the success of Gymkhana and his other drift videos, Ken Block has made serious name. I always wondered who Red Bull would bring to the party on the coat tails of that success. Here is the answer, Mad Mike, one seriously deranged drift driver from New Zealand!

The Crown Range, New Zealand. 47 corners, 1076 metres elevation, 10.4km long. The country’s highest paved roadway. For a moment in time it belongs to one man, Mike Whiddett. The moment will become, the drive of a lifetime.
