Ken Block's Gymkhana Five - Time for Tea?

That's right, he's at it again - this time in San Francisco

---

We'll be honest here. When we heard that Ken Block was making another iteration of his gymkhana video series, we were a little cynical.

Sure, the master of the art of hoonery has become an internet sensation over the years, and his ability to make a hugely powerful 4wd rally car do hilarious things is broadly unparalleled. But (whisper it) we were getting just a little bored of it all, so we thought Gymkhana Five might be a mild disappointment.

It's not. The reason? Block's taken his 650hp Fiesta onto the streets of San Francisco, and any project that gets the Bay Bridge closed specifically for the purposes of hooning earns our eternal respect. Plus, some of the jumps as he careers around the famously hilly city are truly giggleworthy.

Ken, we salute you.

Mr Block isnt making it easy on himself in the gymkhana video series! How’s he going to top hooning around a city for the next one, if there is one!?

The guy has great car control there’s no doubt about that! But i prefer my flying and sideways over crests on the Finnish stages

agree! awesome

you guys can’t have seen much WRC Finland footage

I've seen the Juha Kankkunen - Rally Finland 1998 footage. I'd rather watch this than WRC.
