Off the wall: Gymkhana 3.2
Kenny from the Block has done the unthinkable. In the face of 12-year-olds miming to Lady Gaga and the Old Spice Guy, Gymkhana 3 has snuck in at number ten in YouTube's top vids of the year.
You may remember him from such hits as Gymkhana 1. Or Gymkhana 2. Or when he spun Captain Slow's eyeballs in a roundabout fashion on TG telly.
This time around, he's using a 650bhp Ford Fiesta. Fiesta you cry? This one, dearest readers, will hit 100km/h in 1.9 seconds and is specially built to go sideways. It's an evolution of Block's ‘company' car as a Ford rally driver.

His venue for this hoonery (eagle-eyed viewers will notice a ‘Hoonigan' decal on his window) is the 1.58-mile l'Autodrome de Linas -Montlhéry racetrack in Paris. Which features a banked oval.
And this is how Ken's laying it down this time. Drifting on a 51-degree oval. Welcome to the Ken Block School of Hooning.
Now, which is your fave Gymkhana vid?
