      I will say that he wasn't in the spotlight for while since this AWD stang came out. But now that he is gone it makes you really think that this dude was a absolute fuckin legend in all motorsports... there ain't one person that comes close to being on Kens level. Sad to think we will never see him rip these insane drifts. Now all we can do is leave his old videos on repeat while thinking that there won't be anymore...

  • @justuslm
    @justuslm 3 роки тому +5309

    Fun fact: The red button on top of the hand brake of the Hoonicorn locks the center differential. This is used to block all four wheels when pulling the handbrake. When the button isn't pressed, the handbrake only brakes, and thus locks, the rear wheels, as usual.

    I remember a friend in high school showing me one of the early Gymkhana videos when it came out. I'd never seen anything like it. That (and Doc Hudson of course) was what opened my eyes to the world of drifting. It's tragic that Ken is gone, but I'm glad Lia is carrying on the Block legacy, and I can't think of anyone more deserving of inheriting the Hoonicorn.

Another legend taken way too soon. So so sad.

    The meticulous planning and organisation it took to orchestrate this is a credit to the Producers of Top Gear, and all of those working for the BBC who were involved in the special. This sequence is the stuff of movies, and it would never have been possible had it not been for a huge amount of planning. The fact Ken and his immense skill and ability are no longer with us is devastating, and it is only through the production of works like this that you can truly appreciate his lifelong ability for vehicle control. Rest well Ken Block, your talent is sorely missed.
