A Ken Block Tribute | DiRT Rally 2.0

[HOONIGAN] - 'A person who operates a motor vehicle in an aggressive and unorthodox manner, consisting of, but not limited to, drifting, burnouts, doughnuts as well as acts of automotive aeronautics; One who hoons.'
The world of motorsport lost a true legend in January of 2023, with the devastating passing of Ken Block, aged 55.
It cannot be understated how much he did for rally. His Gymkhana videos and just general driving style truly made rally one of the coolest sports on the planet, at a time when it's probably fair to say it was starting to struggle.
RIP #43, thanks for everything.

My dad worked with him when I was young and I begged him to take me with him to work. Biggest unpleasant ego I have ever met, don't meet your heroes.

[@Gamer-eu6en]

@@exitoz1396 shut up

[@KevBacon6]

@@exitoz1396 I was around him a few times at ARA events and he often seemed agitated but I don't hold it against him. I assume it was mostly due to frustration from wanting to win and probably lack of sleep from doing all of the things he did at once. Those that followed him did so for his driving skills, not his personality.

[@exitoz1396]

@@KevBacon6 Driving skills idk he was slow in Rally and was not much better during his run in Rally Cross. He could play with the car and thats it. Im glad pastrana is doing it know, much better driver and a better person

Mia Taylor also a fan of Ken Block, so thats very surprising that she shell shocked after Ken Block was dead in February 2023 due to fatal snowmobile crash in Oregon, USA.

[@ghulcaster]

That 360 through the warehouse was insane haha, I've played rally games on and off since colin mcrae on ps1. I live in Utah so when I heard about Kens passing I bought dirt 2.0, wrc 9/10 and got RBR on the pc. I've been unequivocally obsessed with rally games since the beginning of the year. He definitely inspired me, a total rpg nerd, to dive full on into rally again. RIP ken

[@Storm_RX]

Thanks man, really appreciate it! 🤝 That’s great that you have rediscovered your love for these games, despite the sad reasoning behind it of course. RIP Ken, I’m sure he would be proud that he inspired you to get back into them 💙

[@purwantiallan5089]

Even WRC 8 to 10 performed way better than EA SPORTS WRC sadly.

[@ghulcaster]

@@purwantiallan5089definitely. I had a feeling it was going to get the typical EA treatment. I don’t own it but I’ve seen a lot of feedback and don’t want to give ea my money. Still play the older wrc and dirt games a lot. Rally genre needs a lot more love

Beautiful tribute to Ken Block #43. Well done. Been binge watching episodes of his in the past week. You could tell he was genuinely happy doing what he did for a living. He would be smiling while driving. And that said it all. He lived a life we wish we all could. RIP Ken. 🙏💙

[@colpicolpani]

Personally I have never had the opportunity to see and know him since I live in Italy. he is a legend, a pioneer of motorsport and above all, as you could see in his videos, a person with a big heart. He was the man who introduced me to the world of youtube in 2012/2013, it made me deepen my interest in cars, which I've been passionate about since I was a child, i can never thank him enough for what he left me. I get sick just thinking about it. Fly high Ken, always in my heart. KB43VER

[@gualmasoothes8238]

Rest in peace, Ken. So many emotions and smiles he gave us with Gymkhana. What a shitty start to 2023

For me, 2023 got an abysmal start yet it finished off with a very high note.😊

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

nice desert dont you think

[@dakaodo]

I personally didn't enjoy the style and flash of gymkhana, but I still always appreciated the skill, precision, passion, and showmanship Ken Block demonstrated. A minute in, your 360 with reverse entry through the barn was pretty slick!

[@Storm_RX]

Yeah that manoeuvre came out surprisingly well, don’t think I’d risk it in real life though like I’m sure he would’ve! 💙

[@shastawinterpaw1999]

Seeing all these videos of people showing how much Ken was such a big impact to the car community goes to show how big he really was. And that ending made me tear up.

[@wolterzz3267]

Watching this great video again. Can't believe it's already been 2 weeks since Ken died. When I heard of his passing, it reminded me of that of his big idol: Colin McRae. Both took everything out of the cars they drove and whenever they danced with danger, they got out of it unscathed. Only to die in terrible accidents (Colin in a helicopter, Ken on a snowmobile). Hope Ken is having a great time up there with Colin, Henri Toivonen and Richard Burns.

[@Storm_RX]

Yeah hard to believe. I guess the only thing you could say is that they all lived life to the absolute maximum and I’m sure they didn’t have many regrets :)
