Ken Block Shreds Toyo Tires at 9000 RPM at the Burnyard! Gymkhana GRID Tire Test in Ford Escort Mk2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- 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. 🤘

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.
Tires: exist
Also tires: why do I hear boss fight music
Driver: Chair Slayer
Engine: Koenigsegg, The Friendly Giant.
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

@@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.
Driver: Chairslayer
More power: nitrous or a blower to help the exhaust note un molested
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: 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
18:27 and so forth, I like how you guys used different motor noises, an amazing touch i would have never thought of
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😅
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.

8:20 "I mean they are shoes for your car!" - a truer statement has never been made.
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

6:05 the way you guys joke around really shows and brings together the community that you have built
Driver : Andreas Snaksrudd
Engine : Tie Fighter ;-)
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
This Escort is by far my favorite car of Ken's. So much style!
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.
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!
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
Put hert in the car.. all day every day get at me.
You're smoking crack
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!
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.
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.
0:20 in. That little giggle when you know your spending your day turning tyres into smoke 😂
Mad how your showing the failed runs more often i love it feels more raw. hope the block never dies!!
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
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.
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!
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 :)
Driver: Rob “chair slayer” not Chris Layer Parsons
Engine swap wise Cossie YB lump
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.
Driver: Petter Solberg
Engine: Keep the same.
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 !
Driver: If you can arrange it, Luke Fink
Engine Power: Full send Nitrous
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!
Rob should take the wheel and for power i say 2.0L i4
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!
Finally, I really missed the escort...
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.
Do hert as the and cossie engine for this car sound nice in it
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.
517 likes, 1 dislike, you know that you have dedicated fans when there's that small L/D ratio.
@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.
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 !
2:23 the ford escort is one of my favorite rally cars and to see it being thrown around a stage was awesome
Driver: Snackerud
Engine: Definitely an NA screamer for the Escort
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
Driver: Jamo
For more power: Add an electric motor to assist the current one at the low end.
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!
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.
9:13 because the first run with the Toyo RIR is my personal favorite. Tyre smoke and a classic Ford going sideways is always priceless!!! 🤟
3:03
Gotta love the "it's okay, I'm an American" 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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.
Driver: Hert
Engine: 2-3 rotor 😳🤷🏽♂️
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.
Driver: Rob “chair slayer” Parsons
Engine swap wise Cossie YB lump
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!
Engine: Something with rally background
Driver: Preferably Andreas, but if not someone like Rob or Micah Diaz would be good
Micah Diaz hell yeah
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
*SO WHERE'S ALL THE HOT WHEELS CUSTOMIZERS...🤔*
1:48 because it shows all the small and big details in the car. It also shows how creative the paint job is and how that car is really one of a kind. And it shows us more in depth because we get to see what’s under the hood that powers the beast and it shows us how well built the car is and how much of a beast it is👍
3:05 “that’s ok I’m an American” basically don’t give f*** what people think AMERICA!!!
At 0:30 Hert just stops mid sentence. It's like he just completely forgot about what he was saying and was in aww. My brother and I are in love with your old school rally cars and love what you have done with them. Keep it!
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
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.
Favourite moment other than the whole damn video is when Ken is calling the tyres "shoes for your car"! Keep safe and keep Hooning!
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
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
Time stamp: 0:00-19:38 The reason being not only was this whole video entertaining but quite informative. Obviously tires matter but it’s interesting to see a driver as skilled as Ken having a harder time with the different tire set ups. It’s cool to see how the different compounds have different effects on driver input and that there wasn’t that exact “perfect tire”. The choice between a tire that provides hardcore grip or a tire that allows you to slide the car is certainly a big factor depending on the course. Regardless, Ken can with shred any tires on and be the king!
0:33 trying to do a video but Ken is just in the background hooning off like a kid in a candy store. Priceless
My favorite part was from 4:30 to 6:40 when you were explaining the track layout as the Escort was drifting around and showing it. I liked this part the most because it gave a great visual to what you were talking about.
0:43
Ken: Smashing the limiter tires smoking
Scott: By the way this isn't the actual tire test
I love your love for driving. Your mix of fun, hard work, and professionalism is what makes your brands so rad! Keep rocking!
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
6:08 you guys taking away the basketball hoop from the king of shredding and 12:56 showing how the tires performance and how much power you need to get the best out of the car. thanks, ken for giving us amazing content for many years and many more years tocome
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.
: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!!!😂
My favourite moment was at 10:43 when you were doing the 540 round the basket ball hoop with the R888R tyres. The way you make the sleight adjustments to the steering, which you see as the wheels twitch back and fourth, to keep as tight as possible to the base of the hoop is very interesting to watch in my opinion as you can see your technique and exactly how you control the car to shred in such an excellent way. Plus, just after this as you launch back towards the shipping container the engine is making a great sound too.
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
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.
Hard to pick my favorite moments but they are 1:42 with Scotto laughing and the sweet closeup of the Toyo R888 tires at 7:55. Those tires and beautiful and I loved seeing them close up and personal. Thanks for the chance to win!
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
0:55 was my favourite moment because it’s just Ken having fun and randomly burning some tires
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!!🤘🤙
03:00 I'm a British Ford fan but got to appreciate a well built vehicle and everyone's got to have there personal touch. Out of all the cars you can get in America you have an appreciation for some top quality British machinery top respect for that 👍
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.
10:30 - that roaring echo/reverb from the shipping container sends shivers down my spine! What a beast the escort is.
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!
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!
17:53 “I thought my nickname was snacks” ken seems like such a down to earth guy must be awesome to work with him
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 🔥
10:46 was my favorite scene because that scene proves to all people Ken block is one of the bests drivers and he always does that verry nice scene in gymkhana when he passes a barrel or something verry close (it is so fascinating to see when he does that)
9:11 to 14:54. I think that it was amazing to see that testing different tires to see which is going to give you the best time, but also seeing which is going to have that perfect balance of grip and slip. Like, the fact that the RR's gave the best time while the R1R's gave the most balance of slip and grip, especially since it is RWD rather than being AWD like the badass Hoonicorn (which, by the way, is one of 2 of my favorite cars out of your whole fleet. The other is that Ford Escort Mk2). Also, I agree 100% with you Ken on choosing Rob Parsons to drive the Escort, and the sound that fit the best is the 2.0 I4 Turbo (Focus RSRX)
2:28
I really like this shot right here because you can see the amazing livery and I love watching rally cars
6 mins till 6.25 was my highlight good old scotto roasting hert 😂
Hert "I'm not let it go "
Scotto " trust me we all know you're not letting it go"
classic hoonigan thanks for the lock down content hope you guys are staying safe out there.
:)
1:23 - it's a nice action shot of pure fun. The entire video is fun but in that moment, there's no practice, no product testing, no oriented goal, it's just a man behind the wheel of a car he loves, enjoying it's capabilities. It's a note of positivity that the world needs right now.
Also, I think you should throw Hert in the car for sure but, what about doing a Focus RS Mk2 5-cylinder
I love the shot at 0:16, bird’s eye views of drifts are just cool
Robert Parsons with the 2.0L eco boost. He’s done the LS game and would absolutely love to see him rock an escort with mad boost and anti lag. Stoked that Ken name dropped Rob! Amazing how far he has come!
