Ken Block Raw Onboard Footage! Blistering Fast Tarmac Stage. Rally Legend - S7

Enjoy this raw, uncut onboard footage from Stage 7 of Rally Legends. This was the longest and most technical Stage of the event this year. Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino tackle the tarmac stage starting with 3 linking hairpins, flat out 6th gear sections, mixed in with wildly narrow sections and a big handbrake slide or two in there.

Yesterday motorsport said goodbye to another legend. Thank you Ken Block

[@FirstFamilyCharger]

There really is an art to the way the co driver speaks. Creating emphasis on specific words and changing tone and pitch depending on the course layout. When the course is tense he’s concise, loud, fast, harsh. When the course calms his voice calms. Guy is a genius at creating a trance-like state for his driver.

[@mightyeye4624]

is he telling him the ideal gear to be in as well?

[@whomstthouamme2155]

@@mightyeye4624 no, the numbers are the difficulty of the turn

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!

[@HRM.H]

@@mightyeye4624 You can see the co driver callout as the amount of speed you can carry through a corner. You are usually in the same gear as the callout or 1 gear below that. All depends on gearratios , amount of torque the car has and what variation of the corner it is.

[@TomoHawKzZ]

@@--LZ--- I'm not saying the chicane was tight... it's a really open chicane, I mean the line he took through it at that speed was tight, the timing had to be perfect. You can see out the side window that he practically scrapes the side of the car on the exit.
