Ken Block's Raw Onboard Rally Footage - SS12 - Rally in the 100 Acre Wood
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Check out this raw onboard footage of Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino during stage 12 of The 2021 Rally in the 100 Acre Wood. Heavy rains prior to the race made for some elevated sketchiness on an already rough 12 mile stage littered with deep water crossings. In this race Ken is piloting a Skoda Fabia R5+ for the very first time.

If this was 12 hours of onboard footage of the entire event I would still watch it. So satisfying.

Ken gets mad props, but I need to give my biggest respects to the co-driver with nerves of steel and always on top of his game..

Alex. But what the heck is he saying? It seems to bear no correlation to the trail, or at least is a fair way in advance. “30 right two plus long” (turns left…) lol. The small numbers seem to be gears. The big numbers… Meters distance? MPH? (but there’s no speedo?)

@@mr_tom_1_0 small numbers are turn sizes and large numbers are meters. so 150 5 long would mean it’s. 150 meter turn and it’s a 5 which is almost straight and long would mean it’s a longer turn than normal. he says it in advance so ken always knows what’s coming on the track.

The team work is really something else!...truely amazing to be able to see something like this.
Rural Missouri is pretty much this all the time! I love my home states gravel roads and beautiful forrest.
Mate, hats off to Alex for some excellent work. He reads off that stage so well and you can see how much anticipation it's giving Ken. Absolutely awesome team!
Can't help noticing and giving MAJOR props to your(or any other) co-driver/navigator. Balls of steel and a level of trust I have yet to see in my own life.
Ken you are a true legend ... a true champion

I think it would be cool to have a short video discussing the shorthand/code you have with your co-pilot. I am amazed at how quickly he is able to relay information to you while you are flying through the woods!!!

I didn’t hear that call, what time in the video was that?
Got to say you have a good camera crew. Specially going threw the water like that and have it going slow motion.. that was kool
I love these videos. It's so amazing how fast they can go on such a wide variety of surfaces and conditions.
I absolutely love the onboard footage. You and Alex have that chemistry nailed down! You dudes better be up in Olympus!
I just feel like nobody really ever has to tell you more throttle, it just kinda comes naturally.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE these type of onboard videos you guys are awesome keep these coming
this format of video was solid. more of these would be welcome 👍
Just totally amazing! Thank you for sharing with us.
Really love the raw footage
I’m approaching 50 and until recently had never gotten into any type of auto racing. Enter Covid lockdowns and I found sim racing and now I’m addicted to watching this stuff. Rally has become my favorite to dream about participating in.....dirt rally 2 and wrc 9 are about as close to I’ll get to it, but I’ll take it. Ken Block, love your vids.
oh man. I will totally be watching every one of these that you give us...
no more words, this is AWESOME!
That was awesome. Thank you for that view. You two are a well oiled machine.
Alex is a legend! Great run. I have been studying, yet can't decipher this as quick as Ken does. Amazing work for the team. Loved every second!
i enjoyed watching, it was like chasing and bashing the track from start to end.. love rally, there is nothing like rally
Great job Ken , wish it was more popular cuz your insane mate keep it up 👍
Awesome Ken!
Good video ken😃👍
Big fan of Ken Block!
Thanks for this upload Ken! I wasn't able to go to this event this year, due to COVID and "no spectators"
Cool race, it was interesting to see. Good luck.
pure magic, just riding the absolute limit of what your tires can offer. You are a hero
8:45 - Marvelous shot. Also, heroic work by those wipers, gimme a pair of those!
Very exciting 👏
Yupi new video 🙏💪🔥
Ken always number 1👏☝️👍
thats madness ken love it :)
Thank you too whoever had the idea to post this... as a rally fan there isn't much to watch in the rally world
Nothing but full send 💪
On board footage in my favourite
Thanks for all you share with us Ken your an incredible talent always pulling for you to win the 100 acre, came very close agin. I still have yet to make it down i need to one year would love to say hi maybe get an autograph for sure. I live in affton Mo so getting down there some how for a race one year shouldnt be a prob. Seems i always forget it takes place in and near the end of Feb and im always hearing about it after or a day or two before the event. Congrats on your 2nd place podium win.
Good job Ken
Ken you are a crazy man
awesome!
Amazing drive and car. The R5 is just so planted and nimble.
Best adrenaline rush ever!! 👍👍
i hyped this footage more than the Original Rally video
Wow.. so cool
Epic 👊
I installed Dirt Rally 2 after watching this! So exhilarating!

Wow the guy reading the track does an incredible job!!!!!!
Really curious as to how this car does for you. I’m not even close to dictating how good a car is but seeing you placed second with all those issues you were having is impressive . I know, first is the goal, but man did you adjust to that car pretty well. Really like to hear what you have to say about the car and if it surprises you or not, thumbs up as always

Judging from the beginning you can tell the suspension is not as well balanced and he's constantly having to fight the steering to keep it going down the correct line, that's why he mentioned he wish he had done some tweaking to it before the stage.
Having a great day stay safe🙂🙂 everyone😇👍👍👍
i love ken clocl
The suspension in these R5 cars is amazing. Looks like it has lots of usable grip.
World class driver. World class co-driver. World class stage. World class mount. What do we expect? Thanks Ken and Alex.

I'm all for it because it's America. Please adopt this America. Thanks.
Hope you make another gymkhana Ken!
Bloody hell man you can drive 👍👍
Nice driving Sir
I’ve met Travis on several occasions, and he really is as nice as he always seems. He radiates positivity. I’ve never met Ken in person, but he sure seems like he’s another real nice guy. Truly nice. Not fake nice. Both of them are such amazing representatives of Motorsport. Great job!
Being a co-driver for rally has got to be really stressful I’d loose my spot in the notes right away😂
R.I.P it's been a good one.!
this is some awesome stuff. i wish i could see the speedometer 🤩
Thank you for the introduction
Class love cars
Ken you're an American National Treasure for sure. Your name will live on and will be referenced for millenia to come. Amazing. I'm talking about your entire career not just this one rally. The best is yet to come.
You can just tell that Ken is damn good at this by the insanity of the controlled near calamity that is Open Stage Rally Racing
Just have wating
Salut j'espère un jour te voir sur le rallye de Monte-Carlo ou le rallye du Tour de Corse 😃😃😃. I wish you the best. A french fan 🇨🇵. Respect 🙏
tunnel vision, I love zoning in on just the road, and letting the speed guide my senses, lol just like playin dirt 4 lol

Hey Ken I was wondering what are your plans for 2022
Awesome footage, nice to see how the faster cars treat the same section as us slower regional entries. :P One issue with the title though: this was SS8, and not SS12 as indicated. SS8 has a different starting point, and connects up and starts to overlap with the SS10/12 stage at the corner at 5:55 in your video. (On SS10/12 you come in on the left going straight through, instead of treating it as the R2- you called.)
I wish you still had you hoonicorn 🥺🥺
I wonder if you'll buy the Fabia RX from ES Motorsport & modify it to be eligible for Open Class.. Or just buy the R5 Evo..
Yes
Pozdravujem Českých bratov ŠKODA POWER
Alot of lift off rotation. Do you think rear bar too stiff or rear lsd locking aggressively off throttle? But you wheeled it smoothly
Mannn it really sucks the 100 Acre Wood wasn't open to spectators this year. Next year, I guess!
Ken you are an amazing driver. I have the utmost respect for you sir. Hhc? Yes you are. You are an amazing driver and have the ability to build a brand that is f****** Epic. I just moved out west and I would love to meet you guys but, if someone with hoonigan actually reads this comment... let me know what the parameters are to show up at the new shop! I have a fully built G35 in Florida, but I'm trying to figure out how to get over here. You guys are awesome I love your content keep it up
So awesome. Really hope he gives Skoda a chance in a future.
Wow awesome driving - can you imagine the pressure of being a co-pilot, the co-pilots must be expert drivers to be able to short-hand the course notes and recognise where they are on reciting them - Just amazing all round.
What's good big fan I have a question what are the plans now that u are no longer partnered with Ford I can't wait to see what u have in store ✌️✌️✌️

Rally driving doesn't get the props it deserves. Most people don't even have the courage to drive that fast on a race track, nevermind through the woods with trees within feet on either side.
That’s some next level driving. Was you fastest on that stage?
WOW
I just can believe you can drive like that ken. I just couldn't imagine what it's like flying thru the woods like that 😮😮😮👍👍😀
Right on. How does that car not hydrolock on those pools?
That Fabia R5 is way better than any of the Fords Ken been driving all this years. Most successful R5 rally car in world
Ken I was wondering something I live your cars and what you guys do and I love forza do you think you could do anything to possibly get some more awesome cars into forza horizon 4 please and thx and keep up the great work I love what you do
Have you ever thought about Really Dakar?
