Ken Block Teaches Rally Notes & Recce w/ Hyundai Kona N Line
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
By now it’s no secret that I’ve been driving Hyundai Motorsport's i20-based WRC rally car in the American Rally Association (ARA) 2022 Championship, and now Hyundai USA has partnered with Hoonigan Racing Division to supply me, my wife Lucy and my daughter Lia each with all-new Hyundai Kona N Line cars for rally recce! These Kona N Line cars have been outfitted with Toyo Tires, Rotiform and Motegi wheels and full tool kits including Pro Eagle jacks and Power Tank Minishots in case we get a puncture along the way!
Thanks to Hyundai USA! / hyundaiusa

What is Hoonigan?
I have done 80+ in deep gravel, when Ken said "I won't lift til the end" I actually had a moment of WTF?? absolutely insane driving.

Normal, he didnt have anything that would have needed lifting. easy section of that track :)
I love seeing the smile on Dan’s face! “Haven't lifted yet”
Love Ken's reaction when Alex says driving is the easiest part of the rally.

What reaction??? Alex is correct I think because the drive comes to Ken naturally. That recon is pain staking.

You mean the way he doesn't contradict his colleague?! I don't think he would joke about that because he trully agrees with him on that.

Actually I think it was more so saying that HIS job was easier on the day of the Rally. (reading the notes) and that it was harder actually MAKING the notes on the day prior for obvious reasons. (wrong jotted note and its disaster when Block is putting it FULL SEND)
One of the best and in-depth reviews on recce and the equally important role of the co-driver. Alex is the maestro and measured tenor of pace notes.
I literally was just wondering about rally navigation a couple of days ago, maybe even the day before this was posted. What a rad experience to catch a rally ride with Ken and Dan didn't even have to navigate!

There is one of zack try to read the notes its very funny well worth the watch!!
Yes! Very cool to see Dan with the HHIC! I'm sure the rest of the crew miss him! 👍
Every rally fans dream day. So cool for you to show him the ropes like that!
Dan is having a ton of fun! Ken's everyday kick 🙂. Alex naturally as important in this game, why he's been there for many years, well done to all of you guys! Can't wait to see the girls in the Block team out there.
This shows how much stuff goes into preparation. Not only does everyone in WRC drive thousands of miles during the three days (do not forget the transfer miles between stages!) but also recce and testing the days prior. Rally on the WRC level is just mental! 😲
Love seeing Dan trying new things! Curious if they'll let him grow into this "new-Zac" role.

Dan is on his own. He may work with hoonigan still but not like he was before. He's got his own channel: (danger Dan) He said he'd still be around and it wasn't anything to do with not liking his job but wanted to try to do something else, grow his own channel. Glad to see him still around the guys and his channel is dope

It shouldn't go without saying the the "new-Zac role" should actually be called the "new-and-yet-to-be-equaled-Roncar role". My perception is the HHIC is a demanding and exacting boss. That's not good or bad and certainly no slight to KB. KB is not just a competitor battling for the championship in this sport; he's also the team owner with THREE competitive cars within the sport and a businessman who has goals and responsibilities beyond the sport. Documenting that in a compelling and complimentary way is a tough job to do and a tough role to fill.
I love Dan, get him doing more stuff he's never done 🤣
That is so crazy fast, and copiloting is way intense too. Ken seems like a decent dude as well.
Being from Scotland I grew up with Colin McCrae as my rally Idol and still miss him to this day but this man's defo filling the role 👍 a rally sport legend 👏
Dan's such a good guy.
Ken allowing others to have this experience is absolutely incredible.
No matter how many rally video games i play, this aspect of rallying is something i'll never get to experience or understand. So i'm glad we had this perspective here and sneak peek in how these things are done.
Great editing showing the rec car and the rally car. Always love the videos!
Can't wait to buy my kona N. Hyundai is truly living thier best life right now.
Thanks so much for some rally content. I really like the in car film you used to post. Please keep us up on your races.
Those hyundai rally 2 photos are amazing 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 #teamhyundaiportugal
I don't think I would be able to side seat for too long in that world. I'm a driver, got to be in the seat that gives me all the feedback and connects me to the ride. I don't know if I would need all the notes in the same fashion. I find it distracting to memorizing but I know you don't have much time. I'm used to pushing for time best and memorizing vs navigating. Tracks change so rapidly though and with blind points or situations track notes would be crucial to maintaining a time lapse on point. Love watching all the fun. Any seat is a good seat when you're geared up with a crew like yours, but I get vertigo like crazy in side or back seat. Love all your team does. Keep up the great work. Have fun! I'm prepping for winter here. I get to keep my ride on the roads in crap weather day and night for several months. Michigan. Joy. Hoondaily.
Great video. I really like the information provided on the recce car. I've never seen the process before.
DANGER DAN IS BACK!!!.. missed him!!!!…. 😁👍
I'm so intrigued that this is the process wow thanks DANGER DAN and Ken
I never considered a Kona N until this video. They look rad!

@@BBRAIN1977 I'm well aware of Group B and a big Audi/VW fan, while the safety standards have made huge gains what the Block's do consistently is still as impressive. As the technology improves with time the driving skill needs to grow with it in terms of reaction and reflexes. Maybe not in mechanical skill from the drivetrain improvements but from the tech being better at handling stopping and power delivery means the driver needs to react and prepare more. I have faith that Lia will go on to do great things for the Block legacy. RIP Ken
Danger Dan is the man. I dig his personality on camera. Bring him back.
RIP Ken. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Legends never die.
The i20 WRC1 has been my favorite modern car, for years.
Saw danger Dan a couple weeks ago at the royal grip booth in Gatlinburg didn’t really talk my friend bough a wheel for his Jetta but still cool no lane the less. Good seeing him in a hoonigan vid again
It's cool to see Ken getting comfortable on video

Hell yea do great this year and win like u always do great show
So good to see Danger Dan!
Informative video! Thanks!
Tight those compare edits. Gelsomino is a Ninja. Thank you to the person that designed the park 🛣️ roads. Love the slow Recon.. definitely something I do when I'm driving in the mountains how fast could I drive.
“I won’t lift till the end” Well shit, rally really is for the bold ones
You are such a great ambassador for our sport❤ Best regards from Nose End First 💪

Hola Ken Block 🇺🇸💖💓🇺🇾 buenísimo impecable Hyundai felisitaciones un gran abrazo 👍👍👍👍
love the N-Line kona, one of the few modern cars with a usable AWD system for doing stuff on loose surfaces.
Really interesting thanks for sharing

Aight, the black on black Kona N-line is fire. I may have to go test drive one now haha
Hyundai been killing it in Richard Burns Rally SSE hotlap too!
We need more Dan!
11:42 Ken thinking "You mean the hardest part of YOUR week, Alex"
No lift Master. Dude has brass balls. Light speed down a bunny trail. So awesome.
So happy to see Hyundai jump on board
Shout out to the editors on this video. Well done.
Have you ever tried reading while in a moving car? It's disconcerting. Can't even imagine reading mission critical notes OUT LOUD quickly enough to be useful while the car's sliding sideways at 70 or 80 mph. Insane squared. Rally is definitely crazy entertainment. It is unknown by many motorsports fans but is top of the heap in terms of skills and level of execution
Dan and Ken is a great combination
Oh my God N power🔥🔥
Dangerous Dan, doing Dangerous Dan things with HHIC, LET'S GOOOOO!!!! #Hoonigan
DANGER DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YES!! MISSED HIM.
Amazing speed 😮😍👍
Thank you ken block 👍
Ken Block is Hyundai man. 💪🏻😎
13:47 "sorry ma...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need a new racing sim, I love listening to the pace notes while flying through a challenging track
So this is where Dan has been.... Tagged out Zac with the boss 🤙🏼
Danger Dan! Woo!
My favorite power house hooligans I can't wait to see this
that car is 🔥🔥
Nice! Great stuff What is the wheel and tire size on the black Kona?
WOW that is FAST !!!!!!!!!!!!
i love seeing the bakc stages and the fact you teach is a nice plus ! danger dan was quite confy in the flat out 6 ....
You are amazing, man
Was stoked to see V.A.G. content.but,cool is cool.
Best Co-Driver in the game!
Yeeeaaaahhh!!! Lets go danger! ❤
Danger Dan’s back!
Rest easy legend
Pretty cool to see this
All i can say hopefully somebody drives you’re car u suppose to drive last year in Pikes Peak Definitely all of us we will missed you And not gonna lie seeing this recon lap is weird on one of the fun cars
Amazing
DangerDan made this video. Please come back to hoonigan for things like this.
Wondering where I can find a rundown of what's been done to the recce cars? Lowered, wheels/tires obviously... but any other suspension upgrades? I know it's only 25 mph but still. I own a Kona N Line and love driving it.
I need to remember to check my headset volume before clicking EVERY Hoonigan/Ken Block video because they almost always start loud as fuck
I see the tires are 225/60r17. Rotiform has a couple wheel dimensions for 17". What is the wheel width and offset (I'm guessing 8" with +40)? Is there any rubbing? Were there any additional mods needed, or were they a "bolt-on and go?"
Insane
So Ken Have you enjoyed the hyundai this year And how different was it compared to say the Ford We have just had RALLY NZ here and the hyundai is a big car to mussel through WHAANGA COAST Love your work NZ fan 😀
