Ken Block Gymkhana in S.F.

I'm not a gymkhana/drift fan per se, though this is a car purpose built for a duty and I am impressed by what Ken Block can do with it.

The description says it was filmed over four days, which must have been nuts for residents and those who commute into the city to work. Hell, the opening sequence has Ken Block on the upper deck of the bay bridge (all to himself) heading from the Oakland side to the city of S.F. That in itself is a catastrophe to those who commute. I'd hope they left the lower deck free to have people leave S.F. and go to Oakland while that shot was taking place, though I don't know for sure.

Each section had to have been shut down for filming. 1,000,000 people live in and/or work in S.F. on any given day so to have different sections shut had to have given headaches to more than a few people. I recall when The Rock was being filmed, my dad worked in the city and came home frustrated because of the detours.

I'll have to take a closer look at his route. I could probably come up with a distance/time equation and figure his ave. speed. I know he ends up on Mt. Sutro near Sutro tower.

Oily shit!! That guy's insane.

Nice!

Yea his level of car control is insane in those "somewhat" controlled settings! Im not sure why he hasnt been able to apply that to the WRC just yet. Im hoping that he figures it out cause its insane watching him do the Gymkhana vids! And he/Ford/DC shoes must have a $hit ton of pull to shut that much of the city in the most popular section. He came so F'n close to slappin a couple walls there haha
