Super stoked to be back to racing thanks to the ARA (American Rally Association) putting on the Southern Ohio Forest Rally (SOFR) despite still being in the middle of a pandemic. This event was wildly different than any rally event I've run before - with no fans or spectators - only one night of actual racing - on just two special stages repeated three times each - all based on organizers doing their best to adapt to the current state of the world and navigating local permit restrictions. The good news is that we're racing again, and these were some of the best stage roads I have driven in an American Rally event, with Alex Gelsomino and I getting quicker and quicker as the night went on, at our first rally in this new COVID-19 era!

one day i wanna make my son became alex g and make him reading a pace when we going to wallmart!
Surprised the rally folks and found sunny hills in Florida its a paradise for offloading and it has a ton of paved parts with barley anyone living in it, it was supposed to be a subdivision but over half of it is empty tons of paved and dirt roads perfect for making a backwoods rallycross track, I hope to see rally cross make a track in it or have a rally stage there.
Is this the one where Travis Pastranas car what on fire
I absolutely love how they are afraid to touch hands but they aren't even wearing face mask so that really defeats the purpose plus this covid-19 is a load of garbage they been planning this for 50 years they even had covid in a movie back in 2012 so come on people wake up your currupt government is lying to everyone
I don't know how you can drive with the co driver's instructions I have no idea what he's saying it's like Chinese to me how can you determine how far the turns are with him telling you and can't imagine how you can even do that at night I'd figure you guys would be using like 300,000 lumens like y'all did on that one video with L.E.D. light bars my guess would be because it's a rally car y'all are supposed to use rally lights
I don´t like led or xenon lights in dust. in my opinion halogen is in dust better.
7:49 weird almost sounds like the engine was reving the words "send it to the moooon" .just a bit maybe
who else clenched his toes when he saw ken's big toe
Wish I knew of some rally classes close to me. I can build a car but can't drive it anywhere near this
Ok, guys go to 14:44 and look at third place. SINCE WHEN do pro slopestyle riders race rally?????
Is that really Brandon Semenuk? Like the 2019 rampage winner and 2 time crankworx champion? When did that guy have time to learn how to drive as fast as Ken fucking Block? Major respect, i just couldn't juggle all that skill and focus on 2 different things. No way.
I can personally attest ken was really fast this event. I was the 3rd fastest 2wd car, he was MINUTES PER STAGE ahead of me. Guy flies like nobody’s business! SOFR is now my 2nd favorite rally because it’s super tight and technical but has super high speed tarmac, you really must have experience in all forms of driving to be fast. It really came out in ken!
could you imagine hoonigan F1??
That brake really look red like that?
one night? what are you crazy, one night? you spread it out and play shadow games and shit
I need the confidence of that guy at 3:57
Ken you killed it on that kast stage. You know it's a fast rally when you spend so much time flat in 6th. Booyaaa!!
👍👍😎
Can we talk about that Brandon Semenuk is behind Ken? Thats awesome! MTB-roque
Ken Blook sos del Dirt 2
Dude Ken how bad does a toe have to be broken to need stitches. Keep up the awesome videos. I would love to take a ride in any of your cars with u.
I love watching in car rally
I was worried you were going to crash into Varg
Love your content Ken block you are a amazing driver ...how can I get a carcaine t shirt love that shirt 👕 😍
nlworld.info
Hahaha crazy Travis pastrana standing outside his car burning. Priceless shit there
I got the next one he's gotta try. Gotta go to a drag strip where a 3 sec car is at the light as soon as he hits the green light he clones drifting through in the other lane that would be crazy.
That brake glow says it all 🙏🔥😎
Stage Rally is such a weird thing to go watch. Lol
You were supposed to stop at that car that was on fire as there was no OK board showing
Congrats on the 2nd Place Overall! Very smooth and cautious this time-out. I hate that feeling, but then you look at the times.... Smooth = FASST! Go Cozzie!!
Awesome runs for sure! Definitely needed for the Cossie and Ken!
with a broken big teo Ken always come up epic rounds
Saw you last year at Portland International Raceway, was a very fun event. Bummed about the lack of spectating this year
Love having zack on here!! Def the extra spice that was needed!
Wow ken your a good rally driver.
Nice rally racing ken
Good video ken
Wow!! What a way to spend a saturday Just imagine waking up and see the cossie rolling down your old back road then you get to the rally, had to volunteer SOFR this year because they didn't have fans, but wanted to support the boys. Tar hollow state park has amazing roads to rally on, if it wasn't dark you could see the huge drop off on the sides. Ken makes it look easy, I tried to run a stage after they packed up and left( it's a state park open all yr around) not even close,I hope you guys come next year, with covid and social distanceing really wasn't the same! Seeing Zach, Travis, and Ken and not being able to say hey and grab a pic sucked! But Standing in the woods at dark being ate up by bugs to watch Ken work was well worth it though!!
Just got my "kill all tires" Hoonigan hoodie and scadder print face mask Hoonlife..
Great video,great to see Semenuk and the Skoda rally car!
Dude that brakes 🔥🔥 you can cook some steak in that thing...
2:50 2nd and 3rd gear were perfectly synced with the star timer
Correct
.............
Man i dunno how u do it Ken!!! Having a guy tellin ya crazy stuff lol (i kno its directions) Id need quiet + concentration tho!!👌💯🤣
He looks and talks like the David Blaine of the cars
I guess Ken has PTSD seeing a burning race car. It totally sucks when this happens... :-/
Every time I watch this makes me want to race dirt rally 2.0 then I remember that Codemasters sucks.....
Great work Zac! Excellent driving Ken! Navigator Alex.... superb!
Cossie looked great...Congratz
You should race Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee
9:30 glow baby glow
Did someone put that brick on the course?
Finally some proper racing in own yard - America.
Now that's what I call a JIM CONOR
Haha.. this is what it looks like every day on my way to work.
Assolutamente tanta roba 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Ken !!! I just really wanna know How to be a Rally racer?
I watch video Ken Block when I was children
I like Ken's driving skills. A SPORT LIKE NO OTHER! With out any delays, when you race against to clock and on dirt, mud, ice, and snow, sections of real roads becomes challenge of skills and preciseness of the driver and co-pilot. A TO Z It is kick ass WELL DONE TEAM HOONIGAN :) :) :) I really like the FORD ESCORT COSWORTH IT IS STILL KICKING IT VERY IMPRESSIVE MACHINERY
Congrats! Seems like Cozzi was down on power on the last two segments. Did it get hurt? Also, how did you come in second with the fastest time in segment 6???
Fast&efficient
Adds, adds everywhere!
0:01 oof subie on fire
B. Semenuk equal Brandon Semenuk...?🤔😮
So sweet! Well done guys!
Please buy a 2000. You may have and I missed it but please own one.
O-H!!!!
OHIO
Hopefully i think Zach is one of us now 🤣
I am surprised that the corrupt politicians and fake news media allowed two people in the car.
Wonder if This Southern Ohio RallyCourse Will Make it Onto a DiRT Game? (If DiRT Ever Goes V.R. I May Finally Score a V.R.HeadSet.)
(CIBIE Lights!)
Try amber lights that's what I have on my F350 for dust driving
LOVE me some RALLY! Thanks for the awesome video!
This kind of event is good for the sport. Very demanding.
11:44 great shot with the hot brake discs!
9:08 In that sequence, the combination of engine+transmission sounds were beautiful
Great job Ken and all your support team . Go Fast :-)
Check out my modded RS content and hooning is included!
those brakes in dark night = 😍🤞
Great to see you competing in a rally Ken. Being a fellow rally driver, I always enjoy the story and competition videos more. Hats off to the organisers for running an event during the height of a pandemic, especially an all nighter at that!
RIP Transexual Pastrami
hahahhah those GLOWING brakes looks sick at night
I wish ken was in top gear ......ken block + chris harris = pure gold
Cool that it was in ohio... sad I missed it...
You really need to trust your co driver in the night and if you make a mistake that’s the end of the rally some times
Well done lads! Great team effort. Good to see you back finishing on gravel! 😎
How is your fire suppression system this time around, Ken? Did Danger Dan show you what can be done these days? 🤔
I absolutely love watching these with Alex calling the notes through the stage. Love seeing the boys back at it!
thanks for content, gratz to Ken, Alex, Jon and Jason
💯
We love you ken .
We love you ken
Hoped you enjoyed your stay in OH as much as we did having you with us. Mid Ohio, Nelson's ledges would be awesome if you could post an entry.
Glad you finally got to get back out there!
I've never seen this type of rally driving at night pretty intrested
Good stuff!
I love the sport and all and I'm glad for Ken but I gotta say, please wear masks guys... What's the point of taking all these measures if nobody takes caution... I'm sure they want to continue rallying so why not wear it, some guys had them, take care of yourself... Anyway good job Ken!
Thumbnail got me 🤪
