  • Ken Block spotted filming in Detroit, Michigan

    Ken Block and his Hoonigan crew broke away from the Gymkhana series with the recent "Climbkhana" production at Pikes Peak. However, Gymkhana 10 could be on the horizon, and Detroit, Michigan, might play host. YouTuber Revin captured footage of Block and his 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR racing and drifting through metro Detroit streets, which leads many to believe the production for Gymkhana 10 is underway. We'll note Gymkhana 10 hasn't been confirmed and Crain's Detroit Business reports Block and his Hoonicorn were present for something other than the iconic video series. Nate Stoebner, a...
