Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground - Video is Live

[SmokinStang]

Ken Block is once again ripping it up......but this time in a 2011 Ford Fiesta
This Ford Fiesta is Modified (Obviously) and boasts 650HP, and 660TRQ at the wheels.....and does 0-60 in 1.9 Seconds

Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France




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.


Car stats:
Weight = 2,425lbs
Engine is capable of 850hp, but restricted to 650hp for improved Low End Torque
Built by Olsbergs Motorsport: http://www.olsbergs.se/Web/Racing_English.aspx / http://www.supercars.net/cars/4537.html
Note: This is also the same company that did the Gymkhana - Subaru car for Block
ENJOY..........

Thats awsome! Yes that was a hand brake.

[TorchRedSVT]

man......that is some straight up crazy freaking driving

PJ...that is the handbrake to make it easy to fling the car around.........that's how those crazy drifting guys do it. Definitely makes you wonder how the guys on the street do it so well with just a regular ebrake handle.
