Block out your weekend

You remember Ken Block? That bloke who’s spent more time driving sideways in his Subaru than most of us have in a straight line?
 
Of course you do, so you might be interested to know that he’ll be recreating some of his gymkhana stunts at the Trax festival this coming weekend at Silverstone in the UK. Which means plenty more pics and videos will be circulating the interweb, and this fine website, come Monday morning.
