“Oh my gosh, a new Ken Block video! Even I’m getting a little tired of saying that, but then I watch them and they’re EPIC”

Wooo, Ken Block you mad man! Sorry for the excitement, I’ve just finished watching Ken Block’s latest, yet perhaps not his greatest, video. What number are we at now? Like 65? I’ve lost count, but they still have the same effect. Powered by a 600hp fire-breathing, curb-eating, sideways-inducing engine, his Ford Focus is truly entertaining to watch if you’ve got a spare 10 minutes or so.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t rate this as his best one yet, as some of his previous locations have been far more spectacular, taking up cities of madness, whereas this one seems to be a shipping yard of sorts. At several points throughout the video, you will think Ken is going to get out his Ford Focus RS submarine, but unlucky for us, it doesn’t happen. Turn up the loud dial, hold onto your swivel chair, and enjoy!

René Vermeer

Dutch, French, or just a Kiwi, René isn’t quite sure, but he does know he has a passion for Japanese vehicles like no other. A well-seasoned Gran Turismo player dating back to his single-digit days, René has a comprehensive knowledge of a wide range of performance vehicles and has owned more than 30 performance cars here in New Zealand, ranging from Nissans to Hondas. A lover of photography, you’ll find him either peeping under someone’s bonnet to snap a detailed shot, or on the side of the racetrack, perfecting his panning.
