DiRT 3 - Ken Block on Gymkhana (HD)

Codemasters latest video stars WRC driver and DiRT® 3™ technical consultant Ken Block, focussing on the all-new gymkhana game mode. The trailer mixes live action with gameplay footage as Ken Block explains the origins of the discipline and how players can hone their rally skills by unleashing their inner hoonigan.

The video introduces gymkhana, the freestyle car driving showpiece pioneered by Ken Block whose video series has become a 90 million-plus views YouTube phenomenon. The trailer shows Ken Block performing incredible stunts and stunning feats of car control in a heavily modified rally car and shows how you can perform the same stunts in DiRT 3's unique gymkhana discipline. By pushing cars to their limits around purpose built arenas littered with obstacles and jumps, players will learn skills that can be put into the practice in the other game modes.

"The gymkhana stuff got started for me as a simple way to get extra seat time to practice for rally," said Ken Block, DiRT 3 Technical Consultant. "For me gymkhana is an amazing feeling because it's very similar to the things I love in rally, like sliding the car at speed. Having a gymkhana element in a game like DiRT 3 just adds a whole new aspect of fun ways to do things with the car. Going through a course and trying to do it for a time or for style points is always fun but on top of that feeling you [can] use those courses to go out and learn the techniques of driving those cars, and to be able to just kinda hoon around."

Coming 2011

Ken Block was the close friend to Travis Pastrana and Jonas Andromeda. He has an awesome cars. So I liked him.

@mrgordan15 Keiichi Tsuchiya blows Ken out of the water and this is coming from someone who likes Block. Get a fucking clue and stop jumping on the bandwagon.

To all the people who rag on Ken Block? I'd like to see you try and do what he does? you guys probably wouldn't even make it out of first gear?

Ken is a very talented and very skillful stunt driver and good rally driver. Sure he's no Sebastian Loeb? But rally driving isn't stunt driving and it's an entirley different ball game that takes years of dedication and practice to master but just to compete as he is takes some skill.

Ken's awesome, He's just having fun living his dream.
