Gymkhana Practice

2008, and the one that started it all. Block takes his ‘06 Subaru Impreza WRX STI and its 530bhp to an airfield, guns it down the straight and then, without warning, flicks it into a massive drift to change the world of car videos forever. And it seems so innocent when you look back, as many of you still are: it's clocked over 16 million views.

Gymkhana Two "The Infomercial"

Paraded as an advert showcasing DC Sports merchandise (Block’s clothing line) and filmed at the Port of Los Angeles, Gymkhana Two debuted a year after the first one, and was altogether a more polished affair. It also ushered in a new iteration of the Scooby: this was a 2009 WRX STI packing 566bhp and 611lb ft of torque, prepared by the same chaps who did the first one (Crawford Performance). It ends in an explosion, with lots of fire and lots of drifting.

Over 52 million views and counting.

There’s a mini-Gymkhana vid that aired a few months later too - Gymkhana 2.1 - featuring Block and longtime friend Rob Dyrdek; Block’s in the Scooby, Dyrdek’s in a mini-Scooby. There is Benny Hill music and 80s synth, along with a touch of tyre smoke. Just a smidgen, mind.

Gymkhana Three

By this point, Ken Block had already become a household name.

We're in 2010, and Block swapped his Scooby for something a little smaller, but equally averse to prolonging tyre life: an '11 Ford Fiesta prepared by Olsbergs MSE. Don't let the size fool you - it's still packing 650bhp and 660lb ft of torque at the wheels, and is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds. Eat that, Veyron.

He heads outside the US for the first time in a Gymkhana film, at the 51 degree banked oval of Linas at l'Autodrom de Linas-Montlhery, specifically chosen by Ken to challenge himself on the rather steep sides. Welcome to Ken's ‘Ultimate Playground'. Naturally, a man in a segway appears, and at the end, there is literally NO RUBBER LEFT. It's just sparks. More than 69m views on this one.

Gymkhana Four

We're back in California for this one, and for the yearly installment of his tyre-torture-series, Block steps it up to another level of cool. Shot on the backlots of Universal Studios, the director of Zombieland produces a proper Hollywood stunt film.

There are Jaws, Back to the Future, Stars Wars and Top Gun references, all playing second fiddle to Block's new Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle (HFHV). Film and car nerds, this one's for you.

Oh, and a man dressed in an ape suit riding a segway makes the obligatory appearance. This one netted over 34m views... so far.

Gymkhana Five

San Francisco has been the backdrop to many a good movie, most notably the superb, superb chase sequence in Bullitt. Back in 2012, Block decided he wanted to "have his way with San Francisco", and boy, does he have a good ol' day.

Shot on the actual streets of San Fran, the fifth instalment of Block's Gymkhana series was said to be a personal favourite of his, aside from being his most accomplished and spectacular video. In his 650bhp Fiesta, he smokes his way around Northern California in a way only he knows how.

This one's epic, and you lot are quite taken with it too: over 114 million views. One hundred and fourteen million.

Gymkhana Six

Block needed a different tack after the Hollywood-special Gymkhana Four, and the spectacularly epic San-Francisco-based Gymkhana Five.

So he went back-to-basics for this 2013 video, setting out a little technical circuit - with the obligatory moving cars and segways - to showcase his supernatural drifting ability. It's a throwback to the very first Gymkhana that got the world to sit up and pay attention: it's just him, a 650bhp Fiesta ST and a few obstacles. Oh, and a big fat wrecking ball. A healthy 51m views for this one.

Gymkhana Seven

His 2014 effort ousted the trusty little Fiesta and welcomed something altogether more unholy. A modified, 845bhp classic Ford Mustang with all-wheel-drive, capable of thrashing down Los Angeles' gritty cityscape.

It's an incredible video, as expected, with some clever touches; donuting around Randy's Donuts, snaking his way up into the Hollywood hills and behind the sign - the first car to have ever been filmed doing so - and a donut around a lowrider's bouncy lowrider. A whopping 58m views, and counting.

Gymkhana Eight

The feisty Fiesta returns for numero ocho of the Gymkhana series. But this time the 650bhp, AWD Fiesta RX3 is in a spangly reflective livery... which suits the location. For the ‘Ultimate Exotic Playground’, Ken headed to Dubai, played with the famous fleet of super-police cars, donuted around a moving Ford Raptor riding on two wheels, and had a drag race against a Veyron, Ferrari F12, Lexus LFA and Lamborghini Aventador.

Watch it here (opens in a new tab).

Gymkhana Nine

Ken went back to his roots by scrapping all the story telling flim-flam and keeping it simple with slightly scary, stupidly sideways and barely-believable driving around an abandoned industrial estate.

His motor of choice? Not his 845bhp, four-wheel-drive, 1965 ‘Hoonicorn’ Mustang, or faithful 650bhp Fiesta. For Nine, Ken opted for his newly rallycross-ed 600bhp, 660lb-ft Focus RS. The very same one he kicked up dirt in in the World Rallycross Championship. 55 million views and counting.

Gymkhana Ten

The tenth video in this astonishing series didn't span one place - KB's 2018 tyre-wrecking, laptop speaker-slaying, extravaganza spends almost nineteen minutes assaulting your senses across five locations, from snowy Sweden via Mexico to downtown LA. There’s five times the rev limiter action, five times the drifts, the jumps, and yes, the jump-drifts.

A healthy 41m views for Gym 10.

Climbkhana One: Pikes Peak

An evolution of the Gymkhana series, taking the spirit of those tyre-slaying YouTube wonders and transferring it to one of the most revered of all motorsport - Pikes Peak. More than 43m views taking in Block's 1,400bhp Hoonicorn dancing its way up a big Colorado mountain. Shout out to the classic reference to Vatanen's 'Climb Dance' vid, too...

Climbkhana Two: Tianmen Mountain

In this jaw-dropping effort from 2019, Ken deemed it prudent to slide his way through 99 treacherous bends up ‘Heaven’s Gate’, using his modified 1977 Ford F-150 we first saw in Gymkhana Ten. It deployed a V6 EcoBoost engine lifted straight out of Ford Racing’s GT Le Mans programme, producing 900bhp+ and 702lb ft of torque. Believe us, he used every last ounce.

Electrikhana: Las Vegas

The first time KB deployed a fully-electric drift machine, this effort from only last year featured one of the wildest builds yet: an electric homage to the amazing Audi Sport Quattro S1. Block took the S1 Hoonitron (good name) around Sin City, drifting along its Eiffel Tower replica, jumping from a car park to a hotel, and donutting along the strip in front of 'Mr Le Mans', Tom Kristensen.

He even found the time to take in a few Audi treasures including the glorious Audi 90 IMSA GTO, a 200 Trans Am, that Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak, a quattro Gruppe B A2, and a pair of old Le Mans racers - the R8 LMP and R18 e-tron quattro. He also finds time to engage in a spot of ‘boxing’ – Vegas’s other favourite pastime – on a rooftop.
