Ken Block

Post by Cybershot »

Not sure who well known Ken Block is in the middle east.

He is a test driver for Subaru. Now he make more money with sponsors and his awesome shows. I got the luck and get a few laps with him in Hockenheim. Did not know before that you can drive and watch out of the side window only. 8O

He is a genius!!!

This guy is amazing. His latest is on a ford fiesta wrc. I just can't understand how he can drift a car 90 degrees, and travel straight.Car control to the limit.

Yes always a pleasure to watch.

Just type the keyword gymkhana in YouTube and enjoy the series of vids.
Manual Anti-Locking Brakes (ABS) - 3 pedal pumps/sec depending on my reaction time on the day.
Manual Hill Descent control (HDC) - Low gearbox and don't touch the accel or brake pedal.
Manual Traction Control System (TCS) - removal of foot off the accel pedal when needed.
Manual Stability Control System (ESC) - Detect and minimise skids preferably before they happen.
Oh and Manual Gearbox! Although I do have electric windows, mirrors and Power Steering - ooeer :)
