Ever wondered where gymkhana, the motorsport that made Ken Block famous, got its start? Parking lots, of course. Gymkhana and autocross are distant relatives, with the former involving lower speeds and more complex maneuvers. Watch this expertly-driven Lotus 7 tear up a British gymkhana course.

I just assumed that every car guy on the internet had already seen that video.

good god that looks hard on the trans.

There are always new car guys.

I remember watching gymkhana back in the eighties on, I think, wide wide world of sports. Or a similar show. IIRC minis' were hugely popular.

And old car guys who like to see repeats now and then.

That has to be some kind of trickery. We all know that only Ken Block can drive that well.

Or old car guys that don't get out enough. Or in enough. Or whatever it is one does to get to these newfangled technologies...
Sure are a lot of horseless carriages on this forum.

usually i would say the car control would be the hardest part... but remembering where the hell to go and what you need to do is the real challenge here

Utterly entertaining video. Crazy car control is crazy.
Also, quite pleased with the lack of "hate that one drifter guy and his flat brimmed cap" posting in this thread. Bravo GRM.
