Ken Block

Although Playground Games has yet to announce the Forza Horizon 5 Series 17 update, it’s already confirmed that Series 18 will feature a tribute to the late Ken Block.

Rally driver and automotive car culture icon Ken Block has been killed aged 55 in a snowmobile accident in Utah.

Following a successful first season of “Hoonicorn vs. The World“, which saw Ken Block take on all-comers in his highly modified Ford Mustang, “Hoonicorn”, the team is back for a second season — with a major change in personnel.

American motorsport personality Ken Block has released a new video in which he gets behind the wheel of a number of famous Audi vehicles, including the fully functional e-tron Vision GT from Gran Turismo Sport.

Pull out the flat brim hat and crack open a Monster, it’s time for the latest edition of Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos.

Ken Block is back with another Hoonigan-branded piece of four-wheel madness here at SEMA 2018. It’s another Ford, but it’s probably not one you expected.

It’s 4AM, and like a kid on Christmas morning, the anticipation for what the day has in store is stopping me from sleeping any longer.

The team at Hoonigan has done it again. With the same sort of gloriously overkill approach that results in 1400hp Mustangs, the garage has teamed up with Thrustmaster to build a pair of serious sim racing rigs. Best of all, if you’re in Austin, Texas this weekend, you could take them for a test drive.

Do you look at modern rally cars and think they’re a bit vanilla? Apparently, Ken Block thinks so. Thankfully he has a plan to fix this with his new race car, a 1991 Ford Escort Cosworth.

Season two of the Grand Tour is in full swing on Amazon Prime. However, rival show Top Gear is just around the corner and just put up a new trailer on its YouTube channel.

Every week we read loads of automotive news stories here at GTPlanet that we can’t fit into their own articles. In a new feature, we’ll be bringing you a quick round-up of things we might have otherwise missed.

Once again Ken Block is back for one of his hooning videos, this time on asphalt after last month’s Terrakhana. With partnership from Toyo Tires, Block hits the famous Pikes Peak Hillclimb course in what he’s calling Climbkhana.

The newest commercial for Forza Motorsport 7 focuses on the variety of vehicles included in the game. FM7 sets a generation best with over 700 cars at launch for players to take for a drive across more than 30 tracks. The video plays on this aspect of the title and features some interesting cameos to boot.

While we’re just over a week away from Early Access users being able to tour the entirety of the Australian Outback, mumblings of an exciting ride expected to appear in this year’s open world racer have surfaced.

Official videos from last week’s Jalopnik Film Festival have now been published, and include an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi and a complete recording of the panel session with Yamauchi, Jim Glickenhaus, Tamir Moscovici, and Ken Block.

Kazunori Yamauchi will be the star guest of the premier discussion panel at the Gran Turismo-sponsored Jalopnik Film Festival this Wednesday, September 18.
