Top Gear what?

peepeepoopoo
edit: damn. i never thought ken would go out this early. R.I.P Ken.
Not if he isn’t driving I don’t wanna watch more lol.
ruclips.net/video/aLuELRXhY8U/видео.html
Can't believe he really passed away. RIP Ken. RIP Mr. Hoonigan
He was such an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others.
he was truly a legend
I was watching so many videos of him today! Now he’s gone
the biggest shock. RIP to a legend
Dude, I was shocked when I opened insta it was the first thing I saw. RIP LEGEND 🙏🏽
Ken is the type of guy to leave 20 minutes late but still be 5 minutes early
ruclips.net/video/6f1rv-tojUg/видео.html
Maybe 4 if he did a lot of drifting
Fr
the car is so powerful it rotates earth and give back time
Movie name please tell me ?
This is the best thing i've watched ever! RIP to Mr. Hoonigan.
That HOONICORN is a MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The control ,speed ,skill ,calmness that KEN has is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! we honestly lost a very very GREAT LEGEND , you will FOREVER BE REMEMBERED !!!!!!!!! REST IN PEACE KEN BLOCK
Rest in Peace Ken Block, you will be missed
2023 just bit us the wrong way 😭
@@7kudos year just started and this shit happened. It doesn’t even feel real tbh.
@@7kudos not off to a great start
An unexpected start to 2023.
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...
When I woke up this morning and heard the news I was completely shocked. RIP Ken Block
I had the same experience. Woke up and saw the news. I was in genuine shock and disbelief. It took a while to process it , but the grief is starting to set in now. Rest in peace ken you are a legend of the world of automobiles
Same
yes he was my inspiration for drifting
I don't have much on my account
But I will always remember him and try to be better to achieve something in my country (Poland) and this year I will try to achieve something

I've watched this twice already and am coming back for the third time he just drifts so well R.I.P. Ken Block you will forever drift in our hearts.
Miss you brother. Thank you for leaving such amazing memories for us to continue enjoying!
Rip Ken Block. I feel so sad for his family but especially his daughter because they were so close. I hope they are getting support through his loss
Rest in peace buddy 😢
@@mattdubya Hopefully they will carry on his legacy and that Lia treasures that first project car they were building forever.
Rest in peace Ken you will be sorely missed by your fans..thank you for all the hours of entertainment
That is truth...
Thank You Kenneth Paul Block
Man hearing the tour guide reminds me of Ron from gta v missions on the radio
Why are you talking in the first person? Do they have internet in the other world?
Amen.
@@BASSstarletare u depressed goofy ahh boy?
Rest in Peace Ken. Truly a legend
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.
Right I'm excited to see her hopefully carry on the tradition of gymkhana videos....i would marry her in a hummingbird heartbeat
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 had not watched a Ken Block video in a while, knowing it would be bittersweet. Such an amazing guy. Since I am not normally a drift fan, I ask if there are any drivers as good as Ken was? I'll be watching his work in amazement for as long as I live. RIP Ken.
I've had some videos of Lea popping up in my feed for the last few months and always avoid watching them. Today, I finally watched a couple of Ken's videos.
There is something so magical about watching someone have such control of a car. Ken became part of the machine he was driving. I have so much respect for his talent
"maybe next trip" extremely heartbreaking that there was never another trip. RIP Ken. You will be missed, by your family, friends, and all of your loyal, loving fans like myself and so many more.
i ddint need to read this ;-;
@Karl with a K disgusting
@Karl with a K are you that degraded as a human you speak ill of the dead. enjoy your place in the burning pit of hell. youre a waste of oxygen. i hope you lose somone you love
This guy does things In real life that I can't do in games
If you spent the same hours on the game as he had driving youd probably smash him lol.
actually hes so bad at rally , just drifting around

@@smocacola4438 dude!!!!!!!
@@6ixss what's that....
Sounds like I hear a hater
Rip ken block thanks for bringing drift to this world may you continue to drift in heaven you legend 😢
That is probably the coolest video ever made of London. It needs an Award and its own Statue with a little screen showing this vid round the clock.
Most amazing with this is that the brits allowed Ken driving like a madman through London 👍
with enough money, anyone will let you do anything
I know, right....Had me closing my eyes lol Ken truly is an amazing driver ... Much respect 💗
We've had formula 1 cars drive through city streets & rally cars always drive the streets between stages so seeing someone who does wheelspins for 6 year olds isn't that impressive lol.
@@leejohnson3742 lol stfu ken is one of the best drivers of our time. There's a lot more than wheelspins going on here and you know damn well he's a better driver than you
@@Nykoo_- you come across as a typical pre-teen. There have been much better drivers in my time you clown. Do you know how many takes Ken has to do to make his shitty gymkhana videos? Do you know how many times he crashes to make those things? Don't worry, one day you'll be an adult & you'll realise how pointless it is & you may also learn that things aren't amazing just because their American. Go & watch some 'unboxing' videos or something...
London Locals: you can’t see all of London in a day!
Ken Block: Give me an hour
10 mn ...
More like 10 minutes
They only saw a tiny fraction of the sites and they are all pretty close together, they didn't even really make it out of central London.
Dankman9 r/wooosh
(With the roads closed) 😂
The revving noises the engine makes as car drifts is more pleasant to me than any music you could ever play.
man its insane to think that hes dead, it just doesnt feel real or right...
rip to the legend ❤❤😞😞
RIP Ken Block! I will never forget these videos of you driving a car so fast. You are an inspiration and the world needs more people like you.
@Karl with a K he's died already stfu with your info we know that, now what's gonna happen even after you say that, nothing right? so shut up bro and don't spam it everywhere
RIP the legend the theory the drifter ,KEN BLOCK 🙏
‘If your not scared then your not going fast enough’- Ken Block 1967-2023 gone but not forgotten
R.I.P. Thank you for those badass videos.
6:40 look theres stig reading a book and just enjoying his day without driving a car
THE STIG IS CUTE
Some say, he's still trying to learn Italian...
Noticed it too sharp eye
I thought I saw him there
good pair of eyes man!! Respect!!!
6:40 The Stig just chillin reading the morning paper LOL
Oh my god yes I noticed 🤣
Woah... didn't notice that before 😅😂

Holy shit now that’s funny! Lol

9:23
That little “Thanks Ken!”
Hits different these days.
I think we would all like to say..
Thanks Ken! For everything.
I was lucky enough to meet Ken not long after this video came out and I actually asked him what the red button did. As soon as I asked him he laughed and said everyone had wanted to know. He was such a great guy, very friendly and had alot of time for his fans. He was a powerhouse of driving excellence and he will be sorely missed. RIP Ken #kb43ver
soooooo what did it do-
@Markster it was a launch aid which temporarily locked up all the wheels to allow more traction when starting off the line.
@@MarksterC fr he proceeded to lead us to a huge cliffhanger 🤣

@@matthewsinclair7820 You know I actually thought about something similar to traction control being on top of one of the levers.
“What does the red button do?”

My absolute favorite video!
I've spent many years in Nottingham and London.
This is my at time favorite video in that time!!!
Imagine him in fast and furious, they won't need CGI special effects on his drifting skills
thats why they used keiichi tsuchiya for the drifting scenes... not cgi
Nah they would ruin it by putting a ramp with cgi effect launch him into moon
@@toiletcookie6784 LOOOL
Vinegar Diesel would not approve
@@rylanlwessel yeah Keiichi is so much better than Mr AWD
The internet:you can't drift a AWD car" ken block:"hold my beer"
(It also helps to have a shit ton of hp)
Fh4 players with awd and drag tires : lol ok
* laughs in rally driver *
“Hold my steering wheel”
all wheel drift
when you have enough power anything is possible
So much fun to watch these videos! Ken, I hope you are racing through the clouds! Such a talent and really just a great guy.
Rest in Peace Ken Block. You were an inspiration to many even beyond the world of drifting. I guess practice does make perfect.
They were like: You got only 30 minutes to drive through London..
Ken: Thats okay, I only need 5..
Underrated comment
Best comment!
Its a 10 minute video
Naja ich schau mir gerne sowas an

I love how the stig is just reading a newspaper at 6:40
Lmao
I did not notice that
That's okay I don't think Stiggy even knew what to think of it.
easter egg
I kinda saw it and I think he's taking a day off
“Whats the red button do?...”
“EJECT-O SEAT-O CUZZZ!”
OMFG your right
Johnson_54_ it builds boost, on the v2 it acts like a sort of antilag and builds boost
Lol
Fast and furious
😂😂😂😂fast n furious lines are just the best
This is the best ken blocks videos I've ever seen
I love that they did this whole piece without any music!
Actually impressed by the lack of pre-rubber marks on the road. Looks as if he only ran certain areas once! Thats legit!
Haha.. Since these central London parts were closed for minuscule timeframe :-)
They must have done multiple takes cause there's no way the tires would last that long, right??
ruclips.net/video/4G6e4TaJxkI/видео.html
Almost
Dont underestimate the amount of computerpower added to the production.
Nah there was definitely marks on the road you just didn’t see them 🤣
"Did you know that it's illegal to die in the House of the Parliament, so maybe be careful."
That line as they're drifting figure 8's around the busses makes me laugh ever time.
RIP
now it’s legal
I laughed so hard when he asked "what does this button do?" For 3 times 😂
6 years later and still loving this so much. You were the best, Ken. ❤
Edit: Matt…”What’s this button do?”
Ken: “DON’T touch anything.”
The best 😂
You are very sadly missed Ken, you were & always will be a massive inspiration in my life. You inspired my love for Ford made cars & my passion for drifting in ways you can't possibly imagine. My thoughts & prayers will always be with you & your family 🇺🇸🙏
6:43 Some say they named a sandwich after him at Flamingo Relaxo, and that he'd rather read the paper than watch Ken Block drift. All we know is, he's called the *Stig*
His name is Sir Perry Watkins.

didnt even look up. lol

First time watching KB back in 2010 was an opening eye event about cars and the art of drifting. Never heard back about him in recent years until i played Forza Horizon 5 in past february and his car featured in the game. Only to find out he has already passed away recently. RIP KB THE LEGEND

Anyone else on a Ken Block binge? I'm still in utter disbelief that this legend is gone. Ken was the one who opened up my eyes to the world of badass driving and Rallying (like many of us here), and rewatching these cuts got me thinking of the insane standards and foundation that Ken has laid for the world of rallying, racing and drifting. Another legend taken way too soon. So so sad.
i mean, i started off a bit late too
Same
I bought fiesta st in 16 because of him
Im 46 even my young niece “you got a ken block car” lol 😢👊😎
Is he no more?
I could be wrong but I haven’t seen a video of him actually driving the whole coarse on one video.. everything that I’ve seen was recorded one curve or stunt at a time and often attempted multiple times for the perfect shot. He’s steal an amazing driver but it really disappoints me that I haven’t seen one like the one he did on pikes peak done in one shot
Rest well, Legend
An absolute legend. may his legacy live forever. R.I.P.
Ken Block is CRAZY. R.I.P Ken Block 21.11.1967-02.01.2023 eternal memory ken block.
People criticize his rally career, but Ken was the greatest stunt driver ever no contest. R.I.P. Ken, you are missed by millions.

RIP!! His daughter definitely living up to the Block name.
He was my inspirator about cars and stuff
We will remember him😢😢
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.
Best comment pal! 👊
Omg it actually hurts! Like losing a family member! I'm so deeply gutted! What a legend! Condolences firstly to his family and close loved ones and to his multiple fans! So so sad!
