Ken Block's new Gymkhana 5 is online. He paints some nice black lines on the streets of San Francisco!

I like the San Francisco video. It helps having visited there last month. We drove through that area while sightseeing. Great car control It's not easy at all to powerslide at speed through a turn.

I love the uphill corner jump. Excellent!

I think the most impressive thing of all that video has to be the organisation from the city and the co-operation of all those locations. That's basically a city shut down and a ton of residents saying "yeah, smoke the fuck out of a car and deliver fumes galore, we dont mind"

Exactly, when we there as always you have to deal with a ton of traffic, remember there are tourists from alll over the world visiting. The residents park their cars on those same roads. There are also an issue of the "one way" streets that downtown SF has always had. I almost forgot to mention halting public transportation to record the video!

Excellent point Dan, Vern. And it's not like the stunts were done in a few minutes and that's it. It took time to set up at each location, plus he has practice runs! Look at any piece of that video, especially the overhead shots and count the number of tire slide marks where he's practiced. Amazing.
