With 2 million hits in 24hrs i guess they are pretty successful in getting everyone to watch this video! But you know what…I'm not a fan of this video. I think Ken Block going to the WRC, I think he's lost all of his driving abilities. Ken is the only driver in WRC without scoring a single point really and how does he still have a seat still. Well the video just filled with Ken just bouncing of the rev limiter and doing circular burn outs. Really? Come on! This video just plain boring! I think the only parts that were really cool was the launch, when you can see the car sit before taking off and the drift around the pylon near the top of high speed oval (the screen capture). Large portion was shot on RED, and in car (Canon 5D MKII) You be the judge, video after the jump! Source:[Youtube/Autoblog] It was shot on Red MX, HPX 170, Canon 5D MarkII, Canon 7D, and Go Pro.
