Ken Block

Last month, a man in a cap who likes to scare people popped down to the Battersea power station in London to stare at some electricity. But he soon became bored and started to perform some skidding manoeuvres in his car instead.

That man is Ken Block, and his car is a specially prepared Ford Focus.

In footage branded Too Sideways For Regular TV, Block's salacious drifting has found its way onto an Internet. It's scary. After all, this is the man who terrified TopGear magazine's Dan Read into an involuntary convulsion, which you might like to see, here.

Will this man ever drive in a straight line?

Ken Block's definitely know how to make huge powerslide around corners... but does it make him fast?... He haven't scored a single point yet in WRC... (Althought it was close in Germany)

These Gemkhana videos keep getting less and less impressive, I don't know if it's just expecting more, or if he's putting less effort into them.

I wonder what ken block can do in a normal car since the rally car is set up for easy access. Nice job and nice ad. There are high expectations if Ken Block ever makes another Gymkhana. Whatever happened to his ford fiesta?
