The Hoonigan is back once again showcasing his automotive ballet skills and this time he’s driving around the ‘Ultimate Gymkhana Grid Course’ in ‘Gymkhana SIX’.

In the latest edition to Ken Block’s Gymkhana series, the fearless driver tears around an intricate race course in his Ford Fiesta ST RX43 2013 while manoeuvring around a dangerous looking wrecking ball and sliding through narrow openings in shipping containers as if they’re wider than the M50.

Not to mention the fact he drifts around two Lamborghinis made to look like the police cars from the Need for Speed series without putting a scratch on either of them. Some man…

Here’s what the guys from Need for Speed had to say: “Need For Speed’s Racing Advisor Ken Block built the ultimate Gymkhana GRID course — a real-life playground to showcase the sheer speed, fun and exhilarating action of driving.

“Block also added videogame elements from Need for Speed Rivals. Watch as he executes multiple jumps, drifts around Lamborghini Aventadors and evades the videogame-themed Redview County cops on Segways in his own unique style. You can almost smell the burn of the rubber as he tears up this incredible course. So sit back and enjoy the ride.”
