Gymkhana 7!

Now, we all know who Ken Block is right? If you don't, then you don't belong in the automotive community.... We're kidding, but Ken Block is a big deal. As part of the Hoonigan Racing Division, Monster World Rally Team and co-founder of DC Shoes, Ken Block is probably one of the most skilled drivers we've ever seen.

What got him big was his gymkhana video series. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what gymkhana is, no worries. Gymkhana is a fairly new motorsport in which there is a start point and end point where the driver has to beat his or her best time. Gymkhana is similar to a time attack event, but obstacles are added on the track to create a challenge for the driver. Some of these obstacles include: cones, barrels, boxes or anything that can cause a challenging obstacle for the driver to maneuver around.

In this episode of gymkhana, Ken Block shreds and terrorizes the streets of our beloved Los Angeles in the new "Hoonicorn". If you're wondering what the hell a Hoonicorn is, then watch the video.... or we could tell you that it's a 825 horsepower 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe with all-wheel drive fitted to it somehow.

Enough said. Go watch the video below. Watch the older ones too and let us know what you think. Was this Ken's best performance yet? We'd love to hear your opinions and thoughts.
