Watching the rally car vs the trophy truck is like watching a surgeon use a scalpel and then a hammer in the same operation. Love it

[@tristanphillips8937]

the rally car run, there's one guy with a big ass tree BEHIND him and it looks like the car was like 2 ft away from him. I had to back it up and lsow mo and was just saying," No! No! No!" I'd be on the other side the tree sticking just the camera out.. AT BEST!

That's hilarious, I rode in a speed boat for the first time on a choppy lake I told my buddy it felt like riding in a trophy truck...

What a dream job to be racing and learning with Ken Block Alex Gelsomino and the team… I live in Maui but someday I really really want to go to team O’Neil or dirt fish and learn some rally driving skills🤞

[@andrewsmith888]

Highly recommend going to Team O'Neil. They have plenty of elevation at their facility, unlike Dirtfish. I live on the west coast but choose TON every time. Instructors are awesome. Money well spent.

This needs to be a class, imagine trophy trucks in Finland 🥰

Dang :D Also: Alex really deserves some love! I really really enjoy the kinds of videos where we can see Ken shred the car and listen to Alex's pace notes along with it :) He generally seems like such a nice guy! Thank ALL of you so much for bringing us the videos! Much much appreciated :)

It would be cool to see how a STadium Super Truck would fair since it is smaller and lighter than the trophy truck but also has a V8 and plenty of travel in the suspension.

[@specialperson170]

my god that truck is just awesome

[@elpimpident8008]

K we need a trophy truck class in rally stages now. That was awesome!

[@hashrulsubzero]

If the organisers allows it, some of those off-road tyres (not sure which one but I've heard from my rally community in my country) can actually destroys the gravel roads unless the trucks run similar tyres like the ones on the rally cars.

[@SteveHarrellRally]

@@hashrulsubzero easy enough to swap to a smaller tire to meet stage rally regulations. The bigger issue is rally cars need to be road legal, and trophy trucks are very much not

Wow, heavier things have more inertia than light things... Who knew? But damn, that sounded amazing, and holding the line in a vehicle with the suspension of a 1974 coupe de ville...
