- Concord Pond, my favorite stage of the New England Forest Rally and perhaps the entire American Rally Association schedule, was one for the record books this year. Alex Gelsomino and I drove the Hyundai i20 WRC car harder and faster, with WAY bigger air than ever before.

Ken: “I just wanted to be safe & finish the race” cut to his car going sideways through the air at 120
Ken will never stop shredding, even when he's no longer with us. The laws of physics will not allow him to be forgotten, he tore the whole world up and did it with all four wheels ripping. This video is all the proof you need of a real life superhero.
The tire marks will remain and so will the legacy of footage he blessed us with. I'm sure wherever Lia goes in life, her father would be infinitely proud of her.
RIP KEN FOREVER MISSED
Can't believe the news, so sad
Don't let his work die
Sad day
We lost a legend
Yes! 👏
If you've ever sat passenger in a car with the driver going flat out you know that Alex and all co-pilots really do have one of the most stressful jobs in the world while performing in such a high stakes environment.
Lmao you won ditto
Any idea why Ken isn't doing this in a Audi?
The way he’s driving you don’t wanna look at the road out of terror. Just read the map… 😟
Anybody catch a word of what he said
They look cozy lol
You can hear Alex struggle to talk after the double jump. I winced when they landed. Sounds like it blew the breathe out of him. Freaking fantastic job you two!!! Absolutely crushed that stage. I'm shaking after simply watching the footage.
It’s hard to breathe under 5Gs!!🤢
They look like their landing on a pillow!
Occasionally it sounds like he’s saying OK!
I couldn't hear any vocal audio in this clip
I cant hear anything he says! All other audio is flawless, but when he talks, its a distorted inaudible whisper
Right around 8:24 you can hear Alex make an "oof" sound as they land.
Came to say something similar... this is covers it...
The leave off that big jump at 110+ MPH is INSANE. Glad Alex is good. Such a killer run guys!
Video and audio editing is phenomenal! The driving is just plain BADASS as always!
That dude is bang on with the pace notes 👍
Thanks for the new rally footage. I really like the view from inside the car. I catch myself leaning into the corners. Go Ken and Alex. What a team.
My sincere condolences to the family, friends and everyone who appreciates his unforgettable achievements.
It's a well-known fact that Gelsomino has to have all of his seats custom made to account for his absolutely massive balls
RIP legend you will be missed, greatest rally driver Ive ever seen race in paradise 🙏🏽🕊️🖤
Love watching different drivers onboards. Ken's are just pure chill, zen, and precision whereas Travis's are frenetic and adrenaline pumping.
Wow! Ken wasn't kidding when he said flat out for a large portion. Thanks for the combined and raw video.
I respect these drivers and copilots more than any other automotive racing teams, the guts it takes to throw that car around blind turns and huge jumps on gravel and dirt it’s insane!! Rally racing is awesome and Ken Block is a Legend among even the best drivers!
That is insane!
Also, I could never do what the co-driver does, I'd be hurling nonstop!
Wht u mean I wouldn't even enter the car I mean he knows what he's doing driving wise but to me that's a big hell to the no
@@bigbird-ne2np 😂😂😂😂🤙🏻
@@bigbird-ne2np I mean, I would probably not enter the car either, but at the same time what a ride it would be 😂
@@pianoekket fr tho talk about a heart attack in less than a second 🤣
Same! 😂
This is the most exciting thing to watch ever! Great footage!!
Ken Block you are an inspiration for me and your brand really got me into motorsport... Rallycross is my favorite!!!!!!
@ 6:40 “Yeah that a record… ouch.” 😂😂😂 I have so much respect for the set of balls on the co-driver to ken block.
I have already pressed reset vehicle to track 10 times and rage quitted hahaha. This is just so amazing and impressive
There are special individuals who become one with car and in sense the car becomes a extension of them selfs. Ken Was one of these people. We will all miss you. Thank you Ken
Sick. Ken looks happy. The pov was so calming and so chill seeing the scenery. Dude is a pilot 💎
It's truly beautiful out there. The whole area where these stages are look like this. Get out to Maine next year for NEFR it's a blast.
I have the very unique privelage of living only 20 minutes from concord pond road.I love that it is ken blocks favorite stage in the world and that I was able to see him compete in person in my tiny little part of the world.I got his autograph in 2005 as a rookie and will treasure that signature for the rest of my life.Thank you ken for everything you have brought into my life.
Thanks for the multiple cameras Ken you are a top Bloke...
think this is the best video you have ever done. i got lost as soon as he said seventeen over long. Please do more of this
i definatly love watching this online more then going to the event you would never see this much there
RIP Ken, thank you so much for all the entertainment over the years.
i love how you can see Ken smiling everytime you see his face in the car
Thank you for making the trek up to Maine year after year, and putting on an awesome show for our fans/spectators. We really do appreciate. It makes all the effort we put in leading up to the event that much more worth it- especially for the few of us who spend hours out on the stages the day before hand to make sure everything is set up. I have been volunteering or organizing for NEFR since 2004, and I greatly appreciate it.
Any idea when he gonna be here next?
Thank you for this footage , this is crazy ! so fun to watch 😲
Pretty insane how much speed the modern WRC cars carry through turns.
That Navi isn’t even looking up!! It’s off feel! That’s insane!
WOW what an absolute ripper!!!! Drove the snot outta it Ken. you guys crushed it. WHAT A TEAM!
Great driving Ken Block and to your awesome teammate giving you the info! 👏
Amazing driving, kept on the gas through nearly every turn. Oh and over that bridge, madness.
Absolute legends! That's why Ken is so capable with drifting and the other stuff cause rallying is what needs total balls of steel.
ШЕЯ МУТАНТА
Rally only needs normal balls,Isle of Man needs balls of Titanium
Dude is an absolute G! Calm as a clam just sitting there reading his book. 😂
Loved seeing Ken grin ear to ear like a rookie…. Great drive 👍
I love Alex he has the heart of a bull with Ken behind the wheel. Car so loud the onboard audio died 🤣
You were so much fun to watch. Rallying has lost a modern icon. You really were something both behind the wheel and in front of the camera. Rest in peace Ken and enjoy all those special stages up there on your cloud.
Insane skills from both of you. Nice work.
Amazing team effort! Brilliant to watch!!
Well done, dude! God, that stage is a blast even to just watch. lol!
Wow some of those turns he was taking them at 100 plus thst insane 😳 🤯
Legends never die
Spectacular driving, Ken!
Love the cam view! Love the speed! It was like watching an epic movie!
So I have watch this video a few times over now I am fascinated with the onboard footage raw as I'm staring into my phone I can understand the directions, and well when you can understand what he's telling him it is quite amazing. these guys are going fast. I am starting to like WRC more and more just due to the fact that lil' cars are going way too fast....lol. I love it👍👍👍
It's my favourite thing about rally, if someone gave me the choice of any car it would be a rally car. They are fast, supple and tough. They are literal monsters in tiny packages. The fact they restrict them tells enough for me
What always amazes me is the fact that the bottles of soda you get at the store have more displacement than these little rockets, and they STILL have to restrict them.
I got chills watching thing, Ken you and your team rock!!
Ken '' fast as I could safely go'' , flying sideways in mid-air. When your co-pilot earns his wings getting rattled lol
Very big congrats #43,none of what you have done is anywhere close to easy or average.The talent you display is absolutely amazing and I would like to say thanks for sharing it with me.👍👍❤️
still a madman damn
I would love to do this for a living! So cool!!
Colin McRae’s Guardian angle was watching down on you that run. Thanks for the amazing content! keep it up the good work and be safe brother.
This was great footage! Awesome performance
Not going to lie Ken Block you have got to be one of the fastest and best rally car drivers I have ever seen and it is amazing to see your family and kids and the times of change in your life with all the different manufacturers and race cars and all that good stuff I salute you much love and respect man you are awesome fan for life
Can't say that he's the only one his daughter Lia and his wife both drive in Rally to so there is 3 Blocks you gotta beat every weekend! HARD I BET!
@@shannacollins4741 lol.... That's what I call a triple BLOCK threat... That's awesome 👍👍👍
Incredibly Monstrous.His life at stake to excite us ... Respect
Great driving Ken. 🍻
Rally drivers are absolutely f**king bad ass!!! 😎
I live in Rumford, and this stage was in my back yard! Much of this road is part of the Maine ITS(Interconnected Trail System) At 9:41, he crosses a small bridge, then passes a road on the left that the ITS follows. I've ridden this many times. Bob
The production team needs some extra kudos for this one, properly sick! The soundtrack was incredible.
The risk over reward of this course much less job is incredible. You both take it as well as any I’ve seen. Met Alex next to the s word hatch at Oregon trail rally at pdx years back now, he’s a rad guy. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Crazy how he can memorize the notes so far ahead.
That’s the craziest car footage Iv ever seen!
I'm going to cherish these videos even more now, as this man was a true legend. RIP Ken, forever with us.
What great content, I don’t live that I subscribed and I still watch
I have been waiting for a new video of Ken and Alex racing!!!!!!!
Wild how the codriver doesnt even need to look up from the notes, its like hes going entirely off of g force feeling
Would love to see Ken in WRC!!
I don’t know why I was not subbed to you.. I have been following you and hoonigans for years .. ❤❤❤❤
How fast he goes tho is just insane like how does he keep controll 😮😮
Haha. Hyundai already builds an incredibly stable car to begin with. Tons and tons of great road feedback in the stock model and just a very stable car. This is just using that frame, modifying, and pushing it to the extreme limits. With Block behind the wheel and a legendary co-driver. Just... As soon as I saw the car in the thumb and the name of the driver, I knew this was going to be an epic run.
I finally finished this swap. Now have over 2,000 miles on it. No issues. Yes it is less powerful but for normal driving it’s not that bad. If I need it I just use sport mode and shift the gears. Few things to note on my swap, I have a 13 forester and used a 13 Impreza motor. I was getting codes for throttle position and coolant/oil temp. I swapped the engine harness, intake, and throttle body from the original motor. This made the coolant/oil temp sensors different as well as the ignition coils. I just used the original sensors and coils and that fixed the problem. I used a nut for the spacer and had to use the Impreza spark plug boots. Thanks again for the great idea and for saving me thousands!
Sitting at my shop on concord pond road watching this. I drive this road every day. Saw him run this and it was awesome.
yep i was struggling to, amazing work the hole team credit on copilot, and that car omg the violence on it
Almost checked the mail at 7:04.
Would’ve made a great story for the property owner.
Forever a legend
Seen guys drifting on dirt and pavement, but this dude does it in the air. AWESOME!!!
Gawd.... damn.....block straight up wheel man! Need a print of that 3rd jump. Alex does a absolutely stellar job
Un grand pilote avec un grand cœur est partie ! Merci pour ton génie et toutes tes vidéo incroyable ! Merci à toi et beaucoup force à la famille courage à tous !
I absolutely love WRC! I wish it was more main stream so we could have it on prime time like NASCAR.
Just go watch in person. These videos are nice but nothing like being pelted with rocks and dirt for a few hours
Just Amazing Onboard 👍
Badass. That roof view is amazing.
Just epic in car video at the end!!!! I think I know why audio was tampered, you don't want your competitors to know how you drive. And don't want them to hear the copilot.
What an amazing video!!!!!!!
Congrats Ken Awesome Run!!😀😄😂 How about a Ken Block Rally Car School😃
Two men that can make a legendary WRC car go flat out.
Google!!!!!!!!! Come on! This scam artist thing is BEYOND STUPID NOW!
Wow you absolutely killed it🔥🔥🔥
I have been playing a lot of WRC lately, and I wouldn't even go this fast in game yet.
Good for you Ken. You are insane for driving the way that you do.
I really do have the upmost respect for rally teams, true miracle workers. The trust and bond between the driver and co-driver must also be second to none. Amazing work!
Just an fyi- its “utmost”.
Man Ken Block is such an amazing driver!!💯🤘😎 It just hits the gas and goes "balls to the walls"💯🤘😂😂 Love it! Dude makes rally cooler!🤘😎🇺🇲
Hell yeah, nice run!
I don't know why it's so funny to me hearing Alex read at 100 mph while Ken is flying threw the air at 120 mph , Shit had me smiling ear to ear the whole vid.
Topp, Brasil sempre te acompanhando !! 👏👏👏👏
I really enjoy watching a crazy 360 ingame dunk, a hole in one from 400 yards, a mma fighters knocking out people with single blow, a bicycle kick goal, etc. But besides isle of man footage, rally makes the most bonkers and entertaining videos of all sports.
Maximum attack. Well done!
Balls to the wall my man!!! Alex was even on pause!! Lmmfao 🎉
Absolutely phenomenal..!!!
That has to be so damn intense. Wild
Ayeeee !! You set the record on my birthday Good Shit Man 🫡😭💯
That, was frikken cool!!!
If Ken block makes rally cool again (in the US), I'll be so happy.
