Ken Block Shreds Toyo Tires at 9000 RPM at the Burnyard! Gymkhana GRID Tire Test in Ford Escort Mk2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2020
- It's been a while since I've driven my Gymkhana spec 1978 Ford Escort Mk2, but that changes today as I test three different sets of Toyo Tires on this rad one-of-a-kind Gymkhana course I designed at the Hoonigans' Burnyard - just to find out which tire (Toyo Proxes R1R - Proxes R888R - or Proxes RR) puts down the quickest lap while shredding the hardest at 9,000 rpm.

18:46 tie fighter sound fx, I was thinking just before that happened how hilarious that would be and bam I was not disappointed. 🤘
at F-22 I thought it was over, then they got me right in the kidneys

Ken Block how do I send you my address without putting it out as a public reply?
@@shawndavidson4744 ... drop an email to our social media manager gary@hooniganracing.com
Ken Block done and thank you very much
Driver, ChairSlayer. He recently drove the Lyfe time attack GTR and killed. Power, nitrous. Easy power and you can add it to any RPM through ECU control or you can just have a button Ken will just hold the whole time, because Ken.
add the switch to the accelerator pedal
@@MkAgri I'm with this the whole way
Put the Nos trigger on the floor under the throttle pedal.
Driver: Chair Slayer
Engine: Koenigsegg, The Friendly Giant.
Tires: exist
Also tires: why do I hear boss fight music
2:01 when you run us through the car’s history. Love it when you give the car’s history just adds something to the video that a lot of people’s lack
Winners have been chosen ... You won!
Hop on over to my Instagram and drop me a message with your address!
@@KenBlockHHIC Holy damn! this is incredible! I just messaged you on instagram
Driver: Rob Parsson
Powerplant: same engine with spray.
That car is so raw that putting a modern engine or turbos on it would just feel wrong in my opinion
Yeah that!
This but put the Cosworth DFV in a crown vic.
18:27 and so forth, I like how you guys used different motor noises, an amazing touch i would have never thought of
9:39 this was my favourite moment because it shows how hard Ken works and all the craft that goes into drifting a car like this. I also like it as it gives insight into what Ken is doing and what he is trying to achieve in the car
Driver: Chairslayer
More power: nitrous or a blower to help the exhaust note un molested
8:20 "I mean they are shoes for your car!" - a truer statement has never been made.
4:25 has to be my favorite spot for sure. I love how you guys get out there and send it but this showed me the true mind set and thought process that goes into building these tracks. Very cool to see I appreciate you guys sharing it.
10:19 when you come around the first fast corner and you can really see the “girth” of the wide body kit with the mountains in the background. God it just looks so good
Driver: Rob Parsons
Mod: Maybe play with the ITB length and add a little shot off nitrous for the low end, just enough power drives better than 1.000hp monster.
But the 1.6 turbo from the WRC fiesta fit amazing this car
Put Andreas in the hoonicorn and Rob in the escort
**contest entry**
My favorite single scene was at 7:02 where you are explaining the difference between tires, specifically detail in the 888Rs
Favorite split scenes were each of the 3 runs at 9:13, 10:14, and 14:01 where from the very start you can tell slight differences between the tires, most notably between the R1Rs and RRs by less bog at launch with the R1Rs with a slower overall lauch, and more of a bog on RRs with a slight bit more squat in the rear but an overall better launch (even if the rest of the run was a little sloppier and less smooth than the R1Rs).
I can't compete with this
Damn dude you really want those tires😅
2:29 I time stamped this moment because it reminded me of the times I would watch you rally and it inspired me so much that I literally traded in my truck and bought a Fiesta ST just so I can go out and rally at Colorado Rallycross. Thank you for being such a great model and introducing so many people to this exciting sport!
Mad how your showing the failed runs more often i love it feels more raw. hope the block never dies!!
This Escort is by far my favorite car of Ken's. So much style!

9:24 I just love tire shots like this, the ability to see the counter steer and THEN the hood shots to see you enter into the figure 8 and then into the 180 box to the donuts around the Basketball hoop. Wonderful stuff Ken and camera crew.
7:00 - 9:00 just the fact that you take the time to explain things for your fans and everyone around you is awesome and that your always happy and smiling shows us that you still love what you do and that we love what you do !
0:20 in. That little giggle when you know your spending your day turning tyres into smoke 😂
I'd say get Rob Parsons in that seat!!! He is an amazing driver and would love to see what the Chairslayer can do in this awesome car. As for power either re-gear or add nitrous.
My favorite moment was 10:29 - 10:52. When the audio jumps back to the handheld camera mic and the engine roars as you slide around that turn just gets my adrenaline pumping and then the smooth 180 going into the 540 around the basketball goal shows just how much control you have, and then as you leave the 540 and you step on the pedal just the sound gives me goosebumps. This is why you are such a big inspiration to me and why i want to do what you do. It’s the little things
14:08 because I immediately thought of Gymkhana 5, sliding down the Folsom St. exit off the Bay Bridge. That scene gives me so much joy, especially every time I drive into the city on that off ramp. So thanks for reminding me of that.
Put hert in the car.. all day every day get at me.
You're smoking crack
Ken, you are one amazing person and I'm sure the community can agree with me. Keep up what your doing and do your best and make every hoonigan out there proud. All the best. - Lucas
6:05 the way you guys joke around really shows and brings together the community that you have built
8:42 i love watching how much you have to work in side the car to get it to look sooo smooth out side. Also being able to see the testing process for tires is pretty cool. The more technical information on the drift car is pretty cool. I never thought about running two different tires on one car. Thats some pro level stuff that garage builders would never think of.
Driver : Andreas Snaksrudd
Engine : Tie Fighter ;-)
10:02 is my favourite moment, purely because of the precision car control.
Also, Chairslayer would be an amazing driver for grid with the fiesta engine for that added torque!
2:23 the ford escort is one of my favorite rally cars and to see it being thrown around a stage was awesome
3:08 was definitely my favorite moment. It’s rad cars like this beautiful beast that inspires me to keep putting in the grind to eventually get my dream ride, a 1985 Skyline RS Turbo. Awesome content as always!
6:34 This shot looks super cool with the smoke and drift around the basketball hoop! If you pause it and look at it, the picture looks like so rad and with some editing it would make a killer background for computers!
Rob should take the wheel and for power i say 2.0L i4
7:50 to about 9:00 was great to see everybody come up with ideas on what’s gonna shred best, you guys really are one big family
9:45 - 9:56 it’s amazing to see your car control going from AWD to RWD. My son is 3 years old and he was obsessed with this part. He had the biggest smile and we probly watched it like 10 times and every time he couldn’t stop laughing. He’s defiantly going to be a car guy, he’s now had 2 open heart surgery’s and going back in for his 3rd and final once this pandemic passes and it safe for him to be there and during his first 2 surgeries your vids kept him smiling and laughing all the way through it. Your a huge inspiration to both of us and watching how much he enjoys you and your cars I couldn’t be a more proud father. Thank you! He’s playing Forza now killing tires in the hoonicorn.

Finally, I really missed the escort...
Do hert as the and cossie engine for this car sound nice in it
2:20 hearing how the car started as a rally then transformed into a Gymkhana car was pretty sweet to see. I love hearing stories of how cars started and what became of them years later. Super cool to see that baby absolutely shred those tires with the awesome bodykit and work done to it. It's a beauty to look at
Bloody Good Lads! Posting that the video was made before this c19 happened, and now they were sheltering in place. BLOODY GOOD LADS! Cheers from Toronto.
Driver: Petter Solberg
Engine: Keep the same.
Driver: Rob “chair slayer” not Chris Layer Parsons
Engine swap wise Cossie YB lump
my favorite moment is at 13:58 the way you can easily throw the car into the corner and seamless pull it through on the RRs is a thing of beauty. Furthermore, the camera angle accentuates the curves and bends of the car very nicely and truly showcases how composed you and car are when working simultaneously.
I'm so in love with the sound and look of this car it's one of my dreams to have one.
Driver: If you can arrange it, Luke Fink
Engine Power: Full send Nitrous
Engine: 2.0L Focus RSRX I-4 (fits the car better)
Driver: Chairslayer. 150%. Would LOVE to see that dude rip in this car.
YB Cosworth from his Mk5 Cossie!, fits the car even better!
10:20 is by far an amazing moment, it’s something that can hardly be explained with words and you explain it simply with your precision driving of one of the most legendary rally cars to date, I still remember playing dirt 2 and doing the Colin McRae event and seeing that 43 on the side of a Ford escort as I chased it down, hopefully the crisis we’re in will subside soon so we can see you shred some more, stay safe
:30 seconds 😂 because I just love when they are trying to start the video and talking and your just in the background shredding everything up!!!😂
Driver: Jamo
For more power: Add an electric motor to assist the current one at the low end.
3:08 where you explain how the escort wasnt available in the US, makes me realise how the US has cool cars that we in the UK never really get the chance to see or enjoy, such as classic mustangs, camaros, corvettes, but its just the same for you guys missing out on things like this that at 1 point were abundant. Although a good example is pretty unobtainable now 🤑
American families didnt deserve as punishment the garbage they gave us under the Escort badge. One car I'm glad rusted out of existence.
Another example is the Ford sierra. They had the merkur xr4ti, but it didn't have success in the market
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt I almost bought a xr4ti for a few hundred in early 90s but it was too roached for me and no used parts available, i was on a run of $500 volvo 240s ,which were a dime a dozen back then.
@@zak-a-roo264 240s are sweet also. Last year i bought a 92 Ford sierra 2.0 dohc and i want to make It my track car
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt sweet , i have one of Americas other finest plastic toilets ,the 88 Fiero, taking ideas on what engine to put in or just rebuild and turbo the original 6 that's in it.
2:01 this was my favorite part apart from the hooning. It was really special to see footage from the older days and see the start of kens rally career! Friends come and go but the good ones stay ;)
I loved the shot at 14:41 because it not only shows off the tires, but the insane angles this thing can get! Keep it real Ken :)
517 likes, 1 dislike, you know that you have dedicated fans when there's that small L/D ratio.
Favorite moment: 0:05 because that’s the most Important thing that everyone needs to know:
*Stay home! Hoonage isn’t going anywhere and you can hoon outside all you want when this situation is over!*
come on dude........ we got the television for that! We talkin fun here !
4:23 That top down view of the map sent me flashbacks to Gymkhana Grid South Africa when i got given the map of the course!
That was by far the best week of my life, ill do everything and anything to do it again. I never had the chance to ask Ken to sign my car while we were there on the start line so that TOYO tyre will have a special place on my workshop wall!
Being in lock down now i'm even putting my motor back together on my desktop work bench in my room!
9:46 all of the smoke looks like some real tire shredding love all the hooning going on with this car lately and getting to see some of the cool things you can do with it!!🤘🤙
Driver: Snackerud
Engine: Definitely an NA screamer for the Escort
Driver: Hert
Engine: 2-3 rotor 😳🤷🏽♂️
Cant pick a favorite moment i you just have to love everything i can't just pick one. Its the same every time a new video comes out every second is just pure joy. Love your work Ken keep the awsome content up it never getts old
Thanks for some of the best engine sounds, great reference, especially the Tie Fighter twin ion engines.
*SO WHERE'S ALL THE HOT WHEELS CUSTOMIZERS...🤔*
Driver: Rob “chair slayer” Parsons
Engine swap wise Cossie YB lump
11:13 when I hear those brakes squeak it brings me back to when I bought this old s13 with a few friends to build it into a drift car because the brakes were so garbage on it they would scream haha, miss those old days and love seeing all this new content ken especially in these times, thank you!❤️
9:52 the way you go around the cones then into the cockpit view to then see how close you get to the obstacle. Just perfect been a fan for awhile. Favourite moment iv’e seen in general is when you drifted real close the edge of the mountain in the mustang hoonicorn. Keep up the great work man.
3:03
Gotta love the "it's okay, I'm an American" 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Engine: Something with rally background
Driver: Preferably Andreas, but if not someone like Rob or Micah Diaz would be good
Micah Diaz hell yeah
10:42 love how Ken Block drifts around the basketball hoop close enough to it but very confident trusting the car and tires to go around it very smoothly and follow by driving under the shipping container so sick!!! Would be a dope picture to make.
Love how you explain everything from 5:20, and how you just throw your car around the obstacles..
Driver: Vaughn Gittin Jr
Power problem: coyote swap
10:40 the moment ken is inches away from the obstacle is crazy. Love the camera angle. Crep up the great vids. 👌
9:58 , the full send into the basketball ball hoop with the inside view and transition into the view from the top. Just super clean and amazing control of the car.
2:14 I always love listening to people explain their cars and the types of sets that they are running
My favorite part of the video is at 2:28 the old footage of you racing it such a cool shot. Flying in that little beast!
when you released the hoonicorn V1 video, it was an absolute spike in your courier and definitely one of my favourite videos of all time 🔥
1:33 Is my favorite part because it was amazing on how close you got to the man filming with your car!
I love the shot at 0:16, bird’s eye views of drifts are just cool
At 18:30 the Fiesta was screaming and put a huge smile on my face. That was definitely my favorite moment. I would love one of the autographed shoes! Keep up the great work team!
@2:22 this is my favorite part for 2 reasons. You don't really ever see any rwd stuff you've done in rallying on the channel and personally even if its not my favorite to drive its my favorite to watch. It takes the rhythm and flow of rally and just accentuates the style a little more to me. And that old livery in that clip is so awesome! Does a great job of keeping the vintage rally style with a twist and honestly i almost like it more than the current escort livery.
10:30 - that roaring echo/reverb from the shipping container sends shivers down my spine! What a beast the escort is.
My favorite part was at 1:19 when you did donuts around them and the treated it like it was casual and trusted u that much to stand there while u git super close in a car u havnt drove in a while it was really cool
15:35 Because of how iconic that drift was with the Escort until you hit the tin lol, but very noise👌. Keep up the good work.🏎💨
10:29 with the echo bouncing off everything sounds wicked. sends chills running down my spine.
10:32 favorite time for this video. The sound is great and really shows off the exhaust notes of this car. It is also a beautiful shot of ken coming straight out from the spool. It features the best parts of this test and easily highlights the whole video in a few short seconds. Tires, design and exhaust notes. Solid work as usual!
It’s hard to pick a favorite part of the video because I love the car and watching you drive it “ there ain’t anything you can’t do in a race car” - Harry Hogge days of thunder and I like when you guys walk the course and have fun with something kind of trivial like that but my favorite part I think is about 1:38 when ken is doing the classic gymkahna donuts around Scotto and hert and getting out and saying I just know that you guys knew how a rear wheel drive car works and where to move to
2:28
I really like this shot right here because you can see the amazing livery and I love watching rally cars
Fav moment easily 9:40, the loop around the basketball hoop looked great from the top of the basket, then the power of the engine coming out of it was great. Nice camera angle too!
10:31 The change from the noise from the screeching of the tires to the loud growl of the engine just stunned me. Never heard a car like that make that noise
4:46 Ken: “I like shipping containers” it was just super random and made me laugh, but also they are very versatile, plus they look cool all painted up, you can make just about anything with them
My favorite part is probably 2:00 because I really like the escort to begin with, but when you put a wide body and an epic paint job on it, it just looks so cool
My fav moment is at 12:30, I love the look on herts face when scotto is valling him a skid boi!! And i totaly agree with him that on camera the first run looks the most visually appealing.
8:00 I just really enjoyed how you caress the tire and how in-depth you get about the dimensions of the tread. It’s quite admirable.
2:20 was my favorite about the rally explanation because where I'm from we don't have any tracks so dirt and snow is what I'm into!
9:36. That drift around that barrel is so tight! Incredible driving.
0:38 because I love how they are just trying to talk and say what is going to happen in the video but they can't because you're just messing around doing donuts shredding up the tyres.
Best part of the video.Wish I were you.
So much style.
14:47 This is my favorite moment because I like the feeling them they're in the car with him. Also I got to see how Close can get light post and tire, And the transition can had was sick from the view of the hood. That why this is my favorite moment.
1:25 seeing you getting reacquainted with one of the coolest cars ever made has made me jealous. Hope I can have enough cool cars to have that same problem someday!
0:55 was my favourite moment because it’s just Ken having fun and randomly burning some tires
9:27 Seeing the angle of the wheel while he comes around the start of the figure 8 from the side angle is just a beautiful picture
15:49: Just pause it and take a moment to appreciate how majestic the Escort looks at full lock. The size of the tires that it effortlessly breaks loose. Over all reminds me of watching Rally with my brother. That moment a car comes out of know where at full speed, sliding into a corner. Just gives me joy
14:08
*Austrilian voice*
"Ah, the majestic Ford slideyboi preparing for the fierce fight for food. It is at the top of the foos chain and will stop at no lengths to destroy it's opponents. "
No, but seriously it reminds me of the original fast and furious days. The tall palm trees, the graffiti on the trailer and a badass car for it's time get sideways. Looks like a shot in a movie without the cones.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
