  • Ken Block does an AWD burnout with the Hoonigan RaptorTRAX

    The horrendous, earth-rending sound in this video accompanies perhaps the most ridiculous video footage we’ve seen this week: Ken Block in the Hoonigan RaptorTRAX doing an all-wheel-drive tracked burnout. MUST SEE: 2,000-WHP Nissan GT-R Screams Down The Strip At 207 MPH: Video To get the torquey beast to spin all four tracks, they had to chain it to the ground. Then they uncorked the torque. Smoke ensues. Hey, it’s Friday afternoon. Do you really need a reason? ________________________________ See more videos on our YouTube sites: The Car Connection, Motor Authority, and Green Car...

  • Ken Block's 2013 Hoonigan Racing Division livery

    Love him or hate him, the king of flat-billed drift kiddies and the spearhead for much of America's rally hopes in Europe is a force in modern American alternative motorsports. Today, Ken Block unveiled the new 2013 livery for his Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle and Gymkhana race cars. It's as eye-popping and neurasthenic as ever, but this time with a mixture of blues, purples, and a dash of fire rather than the green-dominant schemes of years past.

  • Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino in the 2012 WRC Rally Mexico

    Ken Block is many things: shoe magnate, hoonigan honcho, and WRC driver among them. It turns out he's also rather refreshingly humble and aware of the difficulty of rally racing. Of course, he's had his fair share of exposure to adversity, both self-induced and environmental, over the course of the past few seasons. Rally Mexico didn't turn out quite the way he'd wanted it to--co-driver Alex Gelsomino says he figured they had the pace to finish in the top five, but as Block notes, a handful of punctures and other mechanical trouble held them to ninth place. Check out the video for the recap...
