Ken Block's Raw Onboard Footage! - Southern Ohio Forest Rally SS13

For your chance to win an Audi E-Tron Sportback, $20,000 and support a great cause, enter at omaze.com/kenb....
We're back with another installment of Ken Block's Raw Onboard Footage, this time from Southern Ohio Forest Rally during SS13 - "Diagon Alley". Early in the race, Ken and co-driver Alex Gelsomino took the lead putting down the quickest time on the first stage. They continued their pace into the second stage but luck would soon run out. The boys unfortunately went wide on the exit of a turn and hit a stump, breaking the right rear suspension. The team was able to fix the car overnight and get the boys back on the road for the second day of stages, albeit with a 17-minute penalty, setting them back to 64th position. Ken and Alex used this as an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new Subaru WRX STI and test some different setups in the car - which judging by the onboard footage, paid off.

You know, they can program drones to track objects right.....

Suddenly I feel the need to play some VR Dirt Rally 2.

[@huntergross5476]

It’s very fun

[@Treva-dn5jb]

or some forza horizon 4 👀👀

[@MtnXfreeride]

Ive been playing dr2 every night in VR lately and watching ken drIve felt slower than the game lol... but the risks are a smidge lower in VR.

@@Treva-dn5jb comparing an arcade to a sim

[@fujiwaraemiko7318]

@@isaiah1660 Sim? There is a lot in Dirt Rally 2 that is far from sim. For example, a good sim would be able to change the pitch of the car while it is in the air. You can try it in rfactor, gtr2, RBR, iracing... all of those old sims change the pitch when you give it throttle or brake. Try it yourself ;-) Send it over a big jump and stomp the brake as soon as the car is in the air. In DR2 nothing will happen. I have fun with DR2, it is ok as it is, but it is NOT a sim. I don't like that odd word simcade but for DR2 it just fits.

I thought for a brief moment Zach was giving the directions. Ken slaying Diagon Alley like a boss.

[@FlannelDaddyActual]

Alex's pace notes are literally music to my ears. Need to have him as an option in the dirt rally games lol

[@lebroncarter4902]

You can have him in Richard Burns rally with mods I haven't tried it tho

[@bingobango4281]

Nothing like some rally racing to make ya feel home sick (: Them hills are unreal!

[@greyson_gg7781]

1. southern Ohio forest rally which is the forth rally in the American rally association championship. Which was the third race this year for Alex and you. 2. “70 small crest long 150” then clears throat. 3. You hit 6th gear eight times throughout the run. *after you hit the stump because of your unlucky shoes you should totally give to me, you were able to race the next day because of your amazing team but with a 17 minute delay due to super rally rules starting in 64th place. I would love these shoes because I am a huge fan of you and Hoonigan. Keep up the great work my man.

I hope Ken’s new cars and the old ones that are and aren’t already in Forza are added to Forza Horizon 5

[@HugoHardinge]

Do more of these raw videos! The driving experience is so exhilarating. Ken is such an excellent driver and his co driver communicates extremely well. Nicely done!

[@Thebakedbaker413]

Ken going hard as always

[@WanganTunedKeiCar]

Too hard, as always

[@john4x477]

Enjoy the calm hand movements behind the wheel.. minimal input, matches the car's attitude. True master. Respect.

[@age.1998]

Ken still insane

[@JustinEpperly]

Rad. I like seeing how much Ken countersteers vs regular steering around the turns.

[@jakehowie442]

Ken Block my favourite ever driver, a lot more exciting to watch than any F1 race nowadays

[@derekmccord3798]

It’s so great to hear Ken talk about my hometown so well!

[@thomascampione8866]

It is insane how your car just soaks up the landings after the big jumps

[@campersr2298]

theres a part of the suspension on the car called "shock breakers" or "dampers" as they call it that absorbs the impact as they land and these are no road spec shocks either those are expensive shocks made from super strong material and adjustable damping stiffness.

[@cswilliams29]

Love the drone footage @ 6:00!

[@normanoid]

Agreed! I’d love to see more of this.

[@Paul-oq5gp]

I wish there was a speedometer we could see. It’s so muffled in the car it sounds like he’s being easy on the throttle when really that car is screaming most the time.

[@deathtoming2201]

In the forest like that you can’t really perceive the speed through a camera in the car.. I’m sure when he was in 6 gear he would be at 120-160 mph

[@gkbxx9924]

Beautiful and calm. Great ride.

[@gkbxx9924]

I say calm, yet you smashed it by 7 and a half seconds. Smooth bastard.

[@MrBoomer513]

Travis vs Ken in a this vs that! Fantastic driving. Thanks for letting us live your dream!

[@deathtoming2201]

Yes I wanna see the two suburbs go head to head.. Travis might have him tho cause those tech guys might amp up the boost

[@mikey1494]

Shoutout to the HOONITRUCK in the background at the shop! Love this Ken

[@TheThinkingOtterr]

1. Southern Ohio forest rally stage 2 2. 70 small crest 150 3. Counted 8 physically shown. At 5:58 it looks like you're about to go into 6th before it cuts away and that would make it 9 if we count it. Loved the vid!

[@peterad1529]

The drone shots were cool and I was trying to follow the pace notes and where he was and I would have a lot of practice to remember they far ahead 😂

Thanks for the ride; it was fabulous. Great skilled driving display.

Just want to say you Alex and the team did amazing to come back from 32nd and finish 18th. You should've won with time to spare!

[@joeswilkins1]

Couple ideas; First idea. One vid, 3 runs. Ken goes out and runs it blind having never seen the stage. Then another with Alex after their recon. Then finally another where Ken goes solo after running it with Alex. Second idea. Alex drives, Ken co-drives!
