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.

    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.

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.

    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.)
