You don’t need to be a car enthusiast to appreciate the freakish driving of Ken Block. In this video the American thrill seeker tears up l’Autodrome de Linas just south of Paris, France.
This oval track, built in 1924, stretches for 1.58 miles. Its daredevil banks are as steep as 51 degrees; that’s more than twice the incline of most NASCAR ovals for those playing at home.
Ken seems to handle these stunts like a pro, leading us to think he knows the circuit like the back of his hand. But no; this film captures the first time Ken drove the track. Knowing that makes this video all the more impressive.
