Deep dives
The Genesis of Gymkhana
The idea for Gymkhana originated from the Jim Connor USA event, which was a combination of autocross and drifting. Ken Block decided to build a car specifically for Gymkhana and started experimenting with different stunts and filming techniques. The concept of a moving donut around an object led to the iconic scene with a Segway in Gymkhana 1. The focus was on creating authentic and raw car content, inspired by the fast and furious films but without the Hollywood elements.
