KEN BLOCK: GYMKHANA 4

Here it is. Ken Block’s Gymkhana edition number four.

If you haven’t been waiting for this and you don’t know what I’m talking about, then prepare to watch a lot of money get burned in tyres, props and Hollywood CGI effects. Gymkhana is the sport of throwing a car around its paces in a circuit style arena in the fastest time possible, using all the driving skills one possesses to not kill yourself in the process (a task in itself).

Ken Block is the owner of DC shoe company and Ford Fiesta rally car driver, this is basically a REALLY expensive Hollywood version of a Ford Fiesta advertisement, aka the ‘Hollywood Megamercial’.

GYM4 surpasses the high-production style of Gymkhana TWO with even more spectacular effects shot in the backlots of Universal Studios, California. Filmed over the course of five days, director Ben Conrad (Zombieland and 30 Seconds or Less) and his team at Logan deliver a Hollywood caliber production complete with pyrotechnics, massive stunts and a series of unbelievable tricks. Featuring robotic sharks, deranged zombies, and a hilarious cameo by the Epic Meal Time guys, Ken Block and his Hybrid FunctionHoon Vehicle (H.F.H.V.) bring the magic of Hollywood and gymkhana together.

It is epic. Enjoy.
