It's like rally, drift, obstacle, and time trials all in one. [video=youtube;LuDN2bCIyus]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuDN2bCIyus&feature=player_embedded#![/video]
I'm at a loss for words... Edit: Nevermind, I found some. As fun and cool as that looks, imagine the headache that people of that city experienced. Look at all the rubber laid down on public roads.
For the 3 people in the world that have never seen them before here are the other 4: The first that started the craze: [video=youtube;rs-jAImScms]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jAImScms&feature=player_embedded#![/video]

would work very well as a computergame.. Maybe NeedForSpeed:Gymkhana instead of stuff like the bloody TheRun... that was horrid, or the new Burnout:NeedforSpeed that they are releasing soon.
Ken Block has been one of my favorite rally racers in some time. He's at that level of crazy that his mantra has become "I bet I could do that in my car". I also enjoy watching Tanner Faust and Dave Mirra. [video=youtube;lFF2bkiHNVQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFF2bkiHNVQ[/video]
I think there actually is a Gymkhana game coming out, I remember seeing something about it a month or so ago. It may have been a mode in the new DiRT or something.
I want to say that rFactor http://rfactor.net/ has had Gymkhana, I know they have an autocross section in it.
DiRt 3 had alot of Gymkhana. And while it was nice to watch its so damn annoying to play. I hate Gymkhana now.
I've played Dirt and Dirt 2, but not 3. I've been meaning to pick that up for some time though. Maybe if it goes on sale during Steam's Summer Camp sales week.... Do love the Dirt series though.
From what I've heard Ken was a pretty nice guy but I'm with a lot of people that blowing up as big as he did pushed him way past his skill level as his WRC performance showed. Now McRae.... yeah there is a reason he is the best rally driver ever so sad that he is gone. For those who haven't followed rally for years here is Colin McRae's 2006 X-games final run where he just barely gave up first, watch through the end it is probably the single best finish ever.

Will always have massive respect for Colin McRae and he'll always be one of the best rally car drivers. But I like the cocky swagger of Ken Block and his desire to push boundries.
Thats one of my biggest problems w Ken (his lack of top tier level skill). Most of the videos he makes are heavily edited, take days to make, countless takes, etc. He has skill for a NEW TO MOTORSPORTS person, but him going to WRC was a flat out humiliation.
Thats soo cool, like i will ever have the skills to do that with a car. :S The need for speed series is getting old and used up, they lush out almost the same game every year and they dont seem to work to much on their games. If u played the old need for speed game for a long time ago its called porche challenge. That was a good need for speed game but the last ones ive tried isnt realy worth the money.
