There use to be no way of seeing a Gymkhana film shoot, and no way to experience the tire-shredding of Ken Block’s sideways antics live. But hang on a second!! NOW Gymkhana Grid is set to fix all of that. This new race series, brought to you by one of the co-creators of the Redline Time Attack with help from Ken Block himself, will be getting you as close to the awesomness that is Gymkhana as you want to be…even behind the wheel! . This could be something worth watching in my opinion!
The series takes the driving skills and style that you have seen in Ken Block’s Gymkhana films and puts it into a timed, heads-up race. The series looks to hold both amateur and well-known professional drivers going, once again, head to head! On top of everything they will be competing on a course co-designed by Block himself.
With nothing short of High powered engines, massive and ridiculous slides, and a insane amount of smoke Gymkhana Grid is not just encouraging this, they’re enforcing it! For 2010, there are two races on the schedule, the first is Gymkhana Grid in August, followed by the Ken Block Invitational in December, which will include some of the sports biggest names in racing going head-to-head for the gymkhana crown! This shall be nothing less than exciting to see! Hopefully we can see a match of some of my favorite drivers…something like Ken Block VS Tanner Foust?
