Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 гру 2019
- During testing my Ford Escort RS Cossie V2 for Rallye Du Valais, my buddy and WRC (World Rally Championship) host and commentator, Neil Cole takes a walk-around of my Cossie V2 and I take him for a very sketchy ride up a soaked test stage in the Swiss Alps.

Going through his old videos 💔
🙏r.i.p sir

*at the top of 6th gear* Ken: "I think there's a corner here." I would've shat my pants XD
I just thought the same thing! 😂😂
He’s only show boating, he had driven the course more than 10 times
TRIPLE CAUTION

IF I ever got to ride with Ken Block and I don't shit myself, I'd probly be disappointed lol
The only way I know how to show enough respect to a legend is to binge watch everything he's ever appeared in. A true gem of a human being lost, I hope his family will find their way in this dark time.
I'm tearing up just re watching shit. Glad I'm not the only one.
"I think there's a corner here" would be my point of signing away my life
if u didnt see..he drove blindly into the corner. but probably only because he knew the track.
Yea.he's honestly a really bad rally driver. 90% Hollywood 👍
@@daspedal2730 LMao okay bud, he's a better driver than you'll ever be, and he's not trying to drive well here at all. this is purely for fun, he's one of the best drift, show, and rally drivers in the world, not to mention, this isn't even rally
@@saga- sounds cooler in your head.
@@daspedal2730 Man you're an ignorant.
Everyone’s gangster in until Ken Block tosses ya a helmet!
...well said. Let's cut through the pretence.
Yeah he was so gangsta in WRC always finished last or dnf
@@tedt7991 I bet he wish he could drive better so he could succeed in WRC.
Negative Nancy signed on! Who’s name shall I use to fill in the blank... then I’ll go UA-cam him/her and make the same statement...
He is so gangsta , the whole WRC field was laughing at him.... stop destroying our Escorts....
Man, being able to drive like this is and having the ability to do so on a constant basis is when I would say "I have won life".
Amen to that!
How does one even get to do this as a career choice
@@thegoodkindofsimp7417 money lol, you need lots of money to get started.
@@bruhmomento1319yeah I figured that, I think I know there are schools to teach you how to race, but where would you even go to race as a known face? And fewer would you even get a race car to start
easier than ud think with this car
8:00 for those who came here for driving
You doing Gods work
Ikr so long to get to the point
thanks. this guy is like a gnome supercar blondie, even Ken wanted to kick him in the face.
That's the thing, we came for driving not people talking about the car for 8 minutes, thx for shortening my time.

RIP Ken! You are loved and will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family 😢😭
Rest in Power Ken. Your legacy lives on forever in rally, drift and extreme sports history.
He is the smoothest driver around. Just look at the in car footage. No forced corrections on cornering. Perfect from the second he moves the wheel. He really is a freak in the best way possible
Rest in peace
The car didn't flip cause of the weight of his balls
🤣
Some wrc drivers will drve this car even faster
Elia. Gay
someone123 doubt they would in the rain

Lol, Ken Block best WRC result was 7th place, and that was once. He’s a good and fun driver, he’s no close to Ogier, Tänak, Neuville or Loeb for mention a couple.
The way that thing handles in the wet is just insane. What a beauty 😙
My dad had an escort cosworth and even stock handling there was nothing back then that could hold onto it especially in the wet. That whale tail would kick up huge amounts of spray as well. Awesome car.
@Vybe Lyfe Well that explains everything. Watching UA-cam is an education don't you know.
@@Malc180s I'm not a race car driver, but I do think that you can make some judgments on its handling by seeing it being driven well, at the limit and from a cockpit perspective. Nothing crazy about that idea.
9:35 “ I think there’s a corner here?’ -Ken block
To quote another legend.....”if in doubt, flat out.”
When did he say that?
@@chrisglover2133 when in doubt throttle it out is the saying
@@tucker68 No, it's "If in doubt, flat out" is by Colin McRae
@@truefalse207 no its, when in doubt throttle it out. My grandpa been saying that since before McRae was even racing. Then my father and now me. The saying was out before dude started saying a different variation of it.
I’m a good driver and feel comfortable driving quick in rain but when I see this I remember how much difference there is between myself and these professional drivers! Ken is on another level when I see him going that fast in the rain on the side of a mountain.
Matt Brooks he also has unlimited money and a team to just throw everything at him should it break.
yhea , dont be like ken :D...
you might fly over the mountain instead of driving like him
a lot of it has to do with those expensive tires and the car build in general. Don't even begin to try this in a factory or lightly modded vehicle, you'll die or be permanently injured.
I even have professional driver's training for work but I dont think i could match 1/10 of what this guy farts out in driving skill before he steps into the car. he is a beast!
@@CodyLamson very true but you still have to work your way up to that professionalism to attain the almost unlimited money supply (from sponsors and winnings) and team (part ownership) to just throw everything at you should your car break right? Nothing was just handed to him, he worked his way to this point (most owners just hire drivers).
This is too cool. Ken is just such an amazing driver, and he seems rather humble too!
Rest in peace to him
Rip Ken
Honest and Humble .
I met Ken Block at the WRC2018 most down to earth guy, had time to have a short chat with everyone at the signing stations..Great Guy
Must be nice. Im putting meet Ken Block on my bucket list!
Ken literally morphs with any car he drives and completely becomes it with some sensory overload download type skill that's ridiculous to watch, just plain awesome!
4:00 sounds EXACTLY like Richard Hammond it's crazy
Sean Radcliffe almost posted this comment myself
@@Chasepres me too
@@MrElectroDan Double that
Exactly same tone
"I think there's a corner here" lol
“I have to believe you’re in control” 😂 Both class humans ✌🏻
Been on my bucket list for years to ride with a pro like this.
Absolutely incredible.
The sound of that engine and drivetrain whine gives me flashbacks of Gran Turismo 3 on PS2....
This looks way faster than the 93 escort I learned to drive on.
cuz its a 94
Skaffatar and because it’s got the modern styling and a more modern engine
Cus it’s a cosswarth lol
Are you from TUJUNGA
Its got the ecoboost in it lol
RIP Ken, always loved watching your content! You'll be missed 😔 😢 😪 💔
KEN IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITES....ALWAYS ADMIRE HIS SKILLS BEHIND THE WHEELS
Watch the real drivers in WRC.
that seems like a really fun car!

Always impressed by how humble and down to earth he is. Seems like one of those dudes you could talk to for hours
My word, that engine sound winding out while going up in gears....Absolutely freaking beautiful.
Fantastic video.
I’m still convinced the Mr. Block has sold his soul in exchange for these driving skills.
exactly what i was thinking
LoL and still no big titles in world rally classes !? Please he have sure high and great skills, but he's so overrated in rally, and so more in "drift" > gymkhana 4wd isn't drifting a car ("drifting" a 4wd is a joke for a real CarPilot) ... "5th gear 6th gear , oh a corner !" yup, that's just rally, nothing special, his ford fiesta taking around 140/150 km/h on 6th gear. wich is plus or minus the average top speed of F2000 or GrN rally class. Is just goin' flat out on straight or fast right left , like all good rally pilots. But i really respect the fact that he start "learning" very late car racing/rally, enjoy and share it with so much passion. And continu to improve it. A real showman and a real gentleman driver
@@jonathanbenito2109 he's a celebrity rally driver..lets admit it
@@ksekhose8933 As he said it. A showman. But still a good one.
@@jonathanbenito2109 he has won, but you did try and stay neutral with your comment, not too aggressive. Either way he has way more skill then we ever will
what i would give to be a passenger in that car, back in the day i worked for a ford dealer and actually drove an rs200 that was on loan for an open week it cost me a written warning but was worth it, i also owned one of the first rs fiesta in the uk, old fords never die they just get faster
I was thinking the same thing. Ken Block is such an amazing driver. Even in bad road conditions, he's still right on point at every turn. It would be so awesome to ride along. Burn all tires king does it again. Wow!
Good 4 u alan
Same. Watching the video is exhilarating, but to be Neil in this instance would be so amazing
@@travisdunn5675 I feel like any good driver could do what Ken's doing
Honestly
Team behind you and a tuned 2 the nut motor
Dunno about u but I have had diesel mercs more sideways on the way home from the pub
Even with her standard diff 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just saying
Anyone know good mod parts for ford ka 2006 1.3
Marvellous, love seeing Neil Cole in the car and how calm Ken was.
Absolutely brilliant! Awesome skills KB! What an awesome Cossie!
Tokyo Drift: *exists*
Swiss Alps feat Ken Block: "Hold my exaustion"
nah in Japan they drift RWD not AWD
@@nguyentrungngo1576 and that's why they ain't in the major's boyyyyyyy
@@nguyentrungngo1576 they drift evos quite a bit and those are awd
hahahaha
@@gibby4819 No they dont, and of the few that are drifted they're all converted to rwd. Dont be an idiot
Ken's eyes lookin like he just railed a line Lmfao
Blood probably contains roughly 90% adrenaline..
@@Tendo8002 You're not wrong! Love Ken for it haha.
Well in the last video I watched ken chugged a monster and then drove to get a double shot of espresso. Maybe its that🤷♂️
I was just thinking how his eyes remind me of NHL Goalies, who are also notoriously crazy haha. Gotta be something to do with years of honing top tier reaction times.
The Cossie was my absolute fave rally (and overall) car in the mid/late 90ies, thanks for this video!
your buddies eyes are priceless ken... i can feel the acceleration when watching this video. the car is awesome! what I would not give to get behind the wheel o' this car or the hoonikorn. keep up the good work. much love from CO!
Ken! You and your entire team are the best professionals in your field)))!!!!
I love how cole Neil was describing the BANGS when shifting lmao 😂
This would be my make a wish. Riding with Ken where "I think there's a corner here"
May as well literally live on the edge if your figuratively there already.
Just awesome!
That Laugh And Smile Will Be Missed!!! He Was And Always Will Be A Great Ambassador To The Automotive World!!!
“Downhill is more scarey”
Especially on a rain slick highway.
bro that was insane, when he said "I think there's a corner here" I was like bruuuhhh what do you meaaan!!
I love these Cossie Escorts, thanks for showing us around!
You guys are awesome, thanks for a great experience!!
I always loved the Ford Escort, seeing a "modern" version of it is very nostalgic / incredible for me. Nice one Ken
Such a beautiful car, I love the flare he has on it. Nothing like a cosworth dialed up to 11.
RIP My Legend😔✨ condolences to the family
Amazing.
And that wasn't even near a hot lap.
Again, amazing!
Man you living the dream. It has always been a dream of mine to ride in a rally car. Thank you guys for the awesome videos
You know you’re the best when you make it look like a walk in the park on a sunny day.
except he isn´t the best
@@Pferdesalami who is?
10:57 Ken's face is focused insanely
Kinda like “Marcus Grönholm fia world rally”
ken blocks laugh was contagious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 its so sad yet awesome that we can always come back and watch him now he's gone. god takes the best first 43VA
pure masterclass in throttle control handled a dream. in u.k history cossies are and always will be amazing
I love Neil so much. He has such a joyful personality.
RIP legend. still cant believe it.
You got me into loving cars so thank you for that
anyone else just see Hert's hood flying off when Neil leaves the hood pins undone?
bruuuuh! lololololol
imagining how easy itcould be to forget it it's just the small dude and the camera man there
Respect for you and your team!
Ultra professional!
🏆
Exciting video. Thank you!!!!
This popped on in auto play and I was convinced Richard Hammond was doing the over view of the car
I would honestly give anything to go on a ride along with you, I watch all your videos and it looks like so much fun. I love drifting, I just wish I actually have a ebreak and shifter like yours😂
ebreak isn't hard to install, the sequential shifter is a different story tho
What an iconic you have build! I love it!
'Yeah, we're actually in a cloud. Hehe. Heh.'
Love that guy 😂
It's a Utah plate in Switzerland. 😂 This is actually the coolest thing I've ever seen. This car would not be road legal in California! 🤣
Where is the passengers race suit. LOL Guy has balls to hang with Ken. Even though he is not new to it.
Never heard of Ken Block
Home page
Now im obsessed
Thank you Ken Block,Jam very happy can see team Relly to play beautiful,healty you.Kus SBY Indonesia.Semangat
Love the Cossie! RIP Cossie 1
“Hand brake, launch button, full throttle... and we go!” I’d be so pumped
AMPED to be precise \o/
Dudes handling the camera need a shout out just for this! Great shots to those brave ones.
just a few people in this world they have been given the ability to take a big old race car and make it literally move like a ballet dancer watching Ken block drive that car it is so smooth and so precise I love watching his videos
Love the videos Ken - holding it together in the wet! Let's see some more fast downhill action! I can't believe I saw some people posting saying they could drive like this, maybe they are awesome too... but probably never drove without anti-lock brakes ;) Remember, Safety 3rd - attach your guests Hans properly! :) Even still, I'd love to be in the passenger seat haha.
"some people"........think more like many many can match Mr Head in this upload ......far from a balls to the wall full on attack mode day at the office drive of a say a Higgins any Higgins is it ?
7:40 i can feel his heart breaking apart like the Cossie V1
Just wow at this man's driving skills. Great work.
Another masterful drive in an awsome car... 🎩I doff my hat to you sir.
Best video yet
Facts
Not really my video are way better
Greatest quote from ken “I think there’s a corner here
Ken Block's the very best!!!! Amazing.👏👏👍
man oh man this is so awesome
i like how he doesn’t need to know how fast he’s going 😂 the whole dash is his gears
Aye, that's mainly because the speed you're going isn't really as important as your lap times and gear for grip, especially in rally/gymkhana cars :)
It's quite easy to know your speed just from looking, feeling and hearing. The dash atleast for me, is quite useless.
honestly when im driving fast I watch my RPM way more than my speed.
Holy shit, watching that hairpin both ways 6th gear 😳😍 I would LOVE to be in the passenger seat!
I won't forget the sensation of riding in a group b Toyota Corolla, the high pitched sound of straight cut gears and the surreal speed and control! My driver went balls out through a cattle fence gate sideways with all of the nonchalant feeling of driving to the store!
Building my Focus RS right now. Thanks Ken for being a monstar....
South Africa most stolen car: Anything with wheels on it.
Statistically speaking it's anything with a Toyota badge on it, and VW Polos.
And anything else that has not been chained or bolted down.
Towing as many cars without wheels as the record can support as it is open season no limit
In India they steal cars even without wheels on it.
Yea, they even steal Pick 'n Pay trolleys
I think you mean baltimore
Ha his hans device is not under his seat belt😂
I just love this car sound from the 90s
Seeing this car at Goodwood, full send in the rain was awesome 👌
A ride along with Ken is a religious experience " Oh God!, Oh God!"
You need to get out more.....lots more...bless
This is apparently a video about Ken’s “Quasi Cossie Khazi”, according to auto generated captions.
Me and my dad share our love for the Cosworth, its our dream car and i set myself a goal to buy this beauty as they are awfully common a couple miles from ours and having a wider wide cosworth is a dream and i hope i can reach that goal. love ken and what hoonigan have done to this car.
This was an awesome Video Neil Cole is a fucking beauty just seeing too buddies hanging out doing what you each do best great content Ken
I totally do the same thing when people ride with me . Stuff like " I think there's a turn up here" all relaxed but sound like I might not really know!
Yeah there is a hairpin on the way to a co-wrker's house, and he needed a ride one day...
He hasn't asked for another
@@TheDrLeviathan Try telling him " Just so you know I've got a helmet for next time you need a ride your all good"! Jokingly of course. I have to say this with an addition that I Am The WORST passenger in the world! I don't trust anyone driving so .... ya know what I mean. They are trusting you with their life!
The best. Sonho de todos que amam automobilismo conhecer Ken Block, passear com ele no carro deve ser a cereja do sonho.
🇧🇷🇺🇸🇧🇷🇺🇸🇧🇷🇺🇸🇧🇷🇺🇸
I dig how you mixed the remains of the burnt up cosie in the cage paint👍🤪
Ken you are such a hyper human made by Super God , your accuracy on every drifting corners expressing your typical experience
The mystery of the magically moving racing harness / HANS device..... 🤦♂️
"I think there's a corner here", yeah no pull over sir 💀
Hats off to you sir great driving
Ken Block is one of the best drivers in the world, and even knowing that, I would have been crapping my pants. Great work!
