Race Car on the LA Streets!? Ken Block takes his Hyundai WRC Car out in Los Angeles

With the ‘22 American Rally Association season over, I decided to take my Hyundai i20 WRC race car for one last ride-in LA traffic!! It’s wild to think that a competition-spec race car like this can also be street legal, but that’s part of what makes rally racing so special. I met up with Trouble Andrew at his studio and gave him a ride, drove through Hollywood, then eventually met up with good friends Rob Dyrdek and Damon Way for a cruise up to Malibu to get dinner before saying goodbye and sending the race car back to Europe.

Really sucks that we won’t be able to enjoy any new videos from Ken Block. What a likable guy with so much talent. Sincere heartfelt thoughts to his family for their loss, as well as to his closest friends. He was surrounded by good people who loved him and I’m sure he knew that. Thank you for all the amazing entertainment you’ve given us over the years. Rest In Peace, sir.

This kind of stuff is what I'm going to miss most, he brought these hero cars to the streets for the people as much as he did for the experience. He was a unique individual. He was a good man and great father. He was a pure soul that this world couldnt afford to lose, he brought us all together for the love of AWD burnouts and extraordinary gearhead moments. The grin on his face when he was revving the engine at the stoplight in downtown said it all. Farewell friend, you will be missed by this weirdo Ken.

[@davidnorth3411]

My condolences to the Block family along with his close friends ,everyone watching Ken over the years can tell he was a solid guy , he will leave a big mark on all his accomplished endeavors ,the goat .
