Ken Block Teaches Rally Notes & Recce w/ Hyundai Kona N Line

[@brandonbild4904]

Hell yeah Danger Dan back doing Hoonigan things

[@IAmMrTrumpet]

His miata road trip has been great content too on his channel!

[@SuPerPiTs]

Danger Dan works at carX in peoria il on university

[@endgamerplays]

What is Hoonigan?

[@Claythargic]

I have done 80+ in deep gravel, when Ken said "I won't lift til the end" I actually had a moment of WTF?? absolutely insane driving.

[@TheNismo777]

Normal, he didnt have anything that would have needed lifting. easy section of that track :)

[@DChiJEllis]

One of the best and in-depth reviews on recce and the equally important role of the co-driver. Alex is the maestro and measured tenor of pace notes.

[@alinfriedman8080]

Love Ken's reaction when Alex says driving is the easiest part of the rally.

[@APEX-xm6hm]

Im not saying im correct in my response but it does make some sense

[@ryano8613]

What reaction??? Alex is correct I think because the drive comes to Ken naturally. That recon is pain staking.

[@nicolasrodriguesdossantos1881]

You mean the way he doesn't contradict his colleague?! I don't think he would joke about that because he trully agrees with him on that.

[@zachrichard7039]

@@ryano8613 You saw him tilt his head there, he was like "eehhhh, maybe for you..."

[@jerryjefferson9933]

Actually I think it was more so saying that HIS job was easier on the day of the Rally. (reading the notes) and that it was harder actually MAKING the notes on the day prior for obvious reasons. (wrong jotted note and its disaster when Block is putting it FULL SEND)

[@twray9029]

I love seeing the smile on Dan’s face! “Haven't lifted yet”

[@twelevensies]

I literally was just wondering about rally navigation a couple of days ago, maybe even the day before this was posted. What a rad experience to catch a rally ride with Ken and Dan didn't even have to navigate!

[@acherontiaatropos1]

There is one of zack try to read the notes its very funny well worth the watch!!

[@sleepyche1642]

Can't wait to buy my kona N. Hyundai is truly living thier best life right now.

[@Storyracing387]

Yes! Very cool to see Dan with the HHIC! I'm sure the rest of the crew miss him! 👍

[@danielmackey6594]

Every rally fans dream day. So cool for you to show him the ropes like that!

[@djalba1163]

Being from Scotland I grew up with Colin McCrae as my rally Idol and still miss him to this day but this man's defo filling the role 👍 a rally sport legend 👏

[@rjung_ch]

Dan is having a ton of fun! Ken's everyday kick 🙂. Alex naturally as important in this game, why he's been there for many years, well done to all of you guys! Can't wait to see the girls in the Block team out there.

[@Soli2deYT]

No matter how many rally video games i play, this aspect of rallying is something i'll never get to experience or understand. So i'm glad we had this perspective here and sneak peek in how these things are done.

[@UncleManuel]

This shows how much stuff goes into preparation. Not only does everyone in WRC drive thousands of miles during the three days (do not forget the transfer miles between stages!) but also recce and testing the days prior. Rally on the WRC level is just mental! 😲

[@marccyberwiz]

RIP Ken. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Legends never die.

[@TheNonHiddenComment]

Love seeing Dan trying new things! Curious if they'll let him grow into this "new-Zac" role.

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

Dan is on his own. He may work with hoonigan still but not like he was before. He's got his own channel: (danger Dan) He said he'd still be around and it wasn't anything to do with not liking his job but wanted to try to do something else, grow his own channel. Glad to see him still around the guys and his channel is dope

[@TerminusVox]

It shouldn't go without saying the the "new-Zac role" should actually be called the "new-and-yet-to-be-equaled-Roncar role". My perception is the HHIC is a demanding and exacting boss. That's not good or bad and certainly no slight to KB. KB is not just a competitor battling for the championship in this sport; he's also the team owner with THREE competitive cars within the sport and a businessman who has goals and responsibilities beyond the sport. Documenting that in a compelling and complimentary way is a tough job to do and a tough role to fill.

[@jcsilva.26]

Those hyundai rally 2 photos are amazing 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 #teamhyundaiportugal

[@dukie1616]

That is so crazy fast, and copiloting is way intense too. Ken seems like a decent dude as well.

[@bentbird]

Danger Dan is the man. I dig his personality on camera. Bring him back.

[@openmike4559]

Ken allowing others to have this experience is absolutely incredible.

[@joaoaoj100]

I love Dan, get him doing more stuff he's never done 🤣

[@danino66]

DANGER DAN IS BACK!!!.. missed him!!!!…. 😁👍

[@PLr1c3r]

Rally really is the summit of motorsports. Not only is skill a requirement, but icy veins as well. Props to the Blocks they really are an impressive trio.

[@BBRAIN1977]

Watch some group B vids and that iseven more scary to even see :)

[@PLr1c3r]

@@BBRAIN1977 I'm well aware of Group B and a big Audi/VW fan, while the safety standards have made huge gains what the Block's do consistently is still as impressive. As the technology improves with time the driving skill needs to grow with it in terms of reaction and reflexes. Maybe not in mechanical skill from the drivetrain improvements but from the tech being better at handling stopping and power delivery means the driver needs to react and prepare more. I have faith that Lia will go on to do great things for the Block legacy. RIP Ken

[@jasonstilgebouer565]

I never considered a Kona N until this video. They look rad!

[@rhinonaryder6136]

Kona N has only FWD though.

[@kossy67]

In the video, it's the Kona N Line (AWD), not the Kona N (FWD and more powerfull 276 hp)

[@bassplayer2011ify]

@@kossy67 Be even better if it had a manual box.

[@michaelgraham7316]

Thanks so much for some rally content. I really like the in car film you used to post. Please keep us up on your races.

[@CONTINGENCY_sys]

I don't think I would be able to side seat for too long in that world. I'm a driver, got to be in the seat that gives me all the feedback and connects me to the ride. I don't know if I would need all the notes in the same fashion. I find it distracting to memorizing but I know you don't have much time. I'm used to pushing for time best and memorizing vs navigating. Tracks change so rapidly though and with blind points or situations track notes would be crucial to maintaining a time lapse on point. Love watching all the fun. Any seat is a good seat when you're geared up with a crew like yours, but I get vertigo like crazy in side or back seat. Love all your team does. Keep up the great work. Have fun! I'm prepping for winter here. I get to keep my ride on the roads in crap weather day and night for several months. Michigan. Joy. Hoondaily.

[@StanleyKubick1]

Dan's such a good guy.

[@shieldsup4927]

Great editing showing the rec car and the rally car. Always love the videos!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

The i20 WRC1 has been my favorite modern car, for years.

[@hobostewert]

It's cool to see Ken getting comfortable on video

[@ryano8613]

Heh, I do remember when he seemed a bit weary on camera!!

[@bbundridge]

Aight, the black on black Kona N-line is fire. I may have to go test drive one now haha

[@somegi9]

love the N-Line kona, one of the few modern cars with a usable AWD system for doing stuff on loose surfaces.

[@chapel976]

WOOOOOOO! Danger Dan crossover!

[@cisterna777]

So happy to see Hyundai jump on board

[@modern3272]

Saw danger Dan a couple weeks ago at the royal grip booth in Gatlinburg didn’t really talk my friend bough a wheel for his Jetta but still cool no lane the less. Good seeing him in a hoonigan vid again

[@Dragooneyez]

Last time he did this, he had Zac, and Zac's brain melted trying to read the notes, brings Dan out, and Dan's already knows he ain't going to be able to do shit

[@michailbaroutsis3076]

i dont know if anyone noticed Ken's face and the way he speaks after the i20 test race. He looks so much younger than the beginning of the video. Thats what cars and speed doing to men!

[@vexicon]

Great video. I really like the information provided on the recce car. I've never seen the process before.

[@damfadd]

I'm so intrigued that this is the process wow thanks DANGER DAN and Ken

[@keithkruger7270]

Have you ever tried reading while in a moving car? It's disconcerting. Can't even imagine reading mission critical notes OUT LOUD quickly enough to be useful while the car's sliding sideways at 70 or 80 mph. Insane squared. Rally is definitely crazy entertainment. It is unknown by many motorsports fans but is top of the heap in terms of skills and level of execution

I see the tires are 225/60r17. Rotiform has a couple wheel dimensions for 17". What is the wheel width and offset (I'm guessing 8" with +40)? Is there any rubbing? Were there any additional mods needed, or were they a "bolt-on and go?"
