Ken Block Teaches His 13-Year-Old Daughter To Do Donuts... in the Gymkhana Ford Escort!

  • It’s pretty crazy how fast things are changing day to day here in Utah. One week ago my family and I built a mini-Gymkhana GRiD practice course inside my Hoonigan Racing workshop ( • Gymkhana Grid: Stay At... ), and this week my daughter Lia and I are at an actual race track with an entire paddock to ourselves.
    With my ’78 Ford Escort Mk2 RS in tow, and an eager 13-year-old showing more interest in the finer art of HOONING, I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the limited re-opening of UMC (Utah Motorsports Campus) for a day of GYM-Class, teaching Lia proper technique for doing donuts!
    And even though the RWD Gymkhana Escort may be one of the “easier” cars in my fleet to drive - she quickly learns that it’s not as easy as it looks - and you’ll have to watch the full episode to see how she does on her first time out!

      She raced at cleetus mcfarlands race event yesterday and cleetus did a huge 300 drone tribute for her dad at the end of the race , it’s on CZcams and a beautiful emotional tribute. Seeing her get out there and actually racing in an event shows such strength and her determination in taking on the Hoonigan brand,..I’m SO happy for her that she and Ken have been driving together and getting her into the Hoonigan drag races etc since 13 years old. Ken apparently gave her the Hoonicorn and that’s why she’s been driving it in the this verses that “ episodes. She’ll take it on and over and I believe this will be SO good for her in staying close to her dad in spirit . I think she’s going to be a legendaryWRC driver, she’s already KILLING it in the rally events she’s done . They live up the canyon from me and man they’re in our prayers and Lens so massively missed . I know people posting comments like yours really help them. Rest in peace Ken, love you Lea! 💜

      Imho, it heavily depends on the "hobby". When you're get used doing hard stuff that costs tons of money and effort to practice only, not talking about repairs and upgrades - well, it teaches you a lot. Being humble, being focused, grind this thing everyday really hard, understand how things work and what processes are going on... and if you're beginner, you wait until spare parts come up when you mess up your gear, count your money and days until next purchase, etc.
      And when you are decades in this, and even managed to earn some fame and money doing your thing on top of that - welp, you're sure thing know shit about it. You know how hard it can be, and how much sweat and tears are left behind to get here. You sure will be easy on someone new, taking first steps, and will try to support him/her/them, knowing that he/she/they really gonna need that support, especially in the begining.

      Salute ken! Great father... But im confius want to take my daughter in my profession... 😂😂😂..
      Not a motorsports but electrical engineering😂😂😂..
      I hope only my son can run my business, if my destiny stop any moment... But he still 2year old... Olders all a lovely girl, they want to focus their targets be a doctor, teacher and a event managment... Last hope is my son 2 years old, i think he could be like ken😂😂😂.. Always want a bike, electricity car... None towards to my business😂😂... It okay, that their life... Mybe should sell my company, for their dream... Im also grow up and have ambition and dream in motorsport, but cant afford it.. Because of family status, poor and always got condemnation from neighbours, friend and sometime my teacher... But now i relize they push me to suscessful in electrical company... No hard felling, and im still help them even they make me like a rubbish... It a past, im not loke them.. And I'm not going to do like them to me... Thanks for bullying me, this suscess because of they... And always help person like me... And once you give them money or anything else.. You will get the reward from something never expect, believe me.. When you are truth with poor live and you think you need help.. But if you spend your money or other stuff to help people, Your income will increase without knowing from where you got the opportunity or eroperty even a huhe money..... Try it, i guareenty you all will fell like im do, But must do with its simplicity.... Should try it..

    I drove 2 days and on the third he told me to drive outside the city to a village and in a busy street (I had my learner's license). And that's it.
    I mean, the ground was sandy with rocks and stuff, it was Tata Indigo 1.2 L Diesel Car and not a Monster rally car from 1980s, we weren't doing drifting or donuts, but still I feel nostalgic. Love you, Dad.

      That's kinda like how my uncle got his truck licence. He was what one may call a 'wild' youngster who has issues with some of the local traffic police (back then regular 'Police' didn't deal with traffic but there was a parallel 'Traffic Police' enforcement body. My grandfather had a large sheep station and my uncle would drive the stock trucks, with trailers, into town for sale, and one of the local traffic cops would pull him in regularely and give the truck a thorough going over to try and ticket my uncle. After a couple of years of this my uncle turned 18 and went in to get his heavy licence and for the practical road test he got the same officer - who took one look at him and said something along the lines of 'You b*****d, I never thought of checking your licence - well, I guess you can drive, here's your licence'.
      When I got mine, there were a bunch of us from work going through - I'd driven a truck once on the road (often in the yard while working on them, though) and never with a trailer and I had to, literally, drive round the block while the officer filled the pass form out. For some of the 'special' licences, it was driving a cable layer from where it was parked, across the yard, and back into the park spot again.
      Easiest licences I ever got!

    That feeling when you first get it, you can see the joy on her face at 13:52, it's all chasing that feeling and getting better after that point. Easiest age to do it, you learn faster and you've no bad habits to un-learn. Cool video, thanks for sharing
