Monster World Rally Team driver and internet phenomenon Ken Block stars in the latest Gymkhana Three stunt driving feature video, released today. The American WRC star continues to impress and astound with his skill behind the wheel. The Gymkhana 3 video features Block drifting a highly modified 650bhp, four-wheel-drive Ford Fiesta rally car in close proximity to ever stranger obstacles, with just inches to spare. Yeah, Alex will be with me through the entire year, for every event. I have a great team of people behind me. There’s my amazing team manager named Derek Dauncey that’s handling contracts and negotiations and coordination of everything, I have Brian Scotto is my marketing manager, I have — obviously — a great co-driver in Alex, and amazing teams to work with, such as M-Sport and the Olsbergs and Ford has just be a very, very supportive company that helped put all this together. So, I’m really looking forward to a great year. It’s going to be a huge challenge and I realize that, but I’m going to work as hard as I can to make the most of it., Your first Gymkhana car, the STI, was a rear-driver conversion, now we’re talking about making a Fiesta rear-wheel drive, what are going to do – swap in a Mustang drivetrain?

Drifting Techniques, Theory: A tyre grips the road up to a maximum point of adhesion, when this point is exceeded the tyre will start to slide until adhesion is restored. So finding and pushing just beyond the point of adhesion is the name of the game. Once a car begins to drift driver control comes into play the exact amount of turn on the steering wheel towards the direction of travel to catch and control the drift. At precisely the right moment you have to catch the drift with a measure of opposite lock and use the throttle and steering to control the drift a sustained drift on a straight is called drift lock. Rear wheel drive cars are the only choice for drifting particularly higher-powered models but one of the key requirements is a limited slip diff. We’ve seen really impressive drifts from low powered cars. A quick burst of acceleration at the right moment is just enough to break the adhesion of the back of the car. As a car decelerates the weight is thrown to the front wheels that is why the wheels lock up under heavy breaking. A front wheel drive car is harder to drift in but uses deceleration to lighten the back of the car and make it swing wide. To perform a left tail drift in a front drive car build up the speed. Decelerate fairly heavily but performing a simultaneous right flick on the steering wheel a shock wave will shoot through the car (you can feel it happen there is no easy way to explain it.) As this shock wave passes the centre point of the car steer …

So, what is drag racing? These days it is much popular for the reason that, now even in the streets is being found all over the world. It is a car race tournament, in which just two cars will be participating, in a straigt line covering the same distance in order to win the race. Drag racing depends a lot on lauch, and we’ll trying to explain why it is that important.

Before we go on any further, it is to be noted that you’ have to spend some money for changing the tires, repairing the car and also for modifying it. If you are ready for it, then you’ll be learning to be consistent in driving your car. Well, the way we lauch a manual transmission car and an automatic transmission car is different. The same goes with an all-wheel-drive car, a front-wheel-drive car, and with a  rear-wheel-drive car.

If you are with a manual transmission car, then it’s all about applying the throttle at the right levels. Our main aim should be to prevent the excessive spinning of wheels. Different cars are with different rpm levels. So, if you are planning to learn how to launch your are in the quickest time, then you should try holding the throttle at different rpm levels. This way you’ll be knowing the power needed to launch your car the better way. After some experiments with your car, the car would be surely needing some repairs. But, these experiments will surely making you an hard core driver.
