Yep, you read that right. The Gymkhana GRID series is coming back to America in a BIG way this August - as a brand new event for X Games, debuting at X Games Los Angeles 2013! That's a combo of 500+ horsepower AWD race cars and some of the biggest names in rally and rallycross racing, going head-to-head for the fastest time on the mirrored course you see above. All of which will be broadcast LIVE from Irwindale Speedway in California. Yeah, we can't wait 'till August either.

Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino took to the stages of Rally America’s Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally in Pennsylvania this weekend and absolutely dominated the event, walking away with their first overall win of the season and bringing an end to the mechanical bad luck streak that had plagued them since the start of the year.

For the fourth round of the 2013 Rally America championship, the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally, Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino got things started right from the beginning. The duo finished the first stage of the day with a 15-second lead on the rest of the field and that set the pace and tone for the remainder of the stages on Friday, with Block also winning SS3 and SS5 for a total of 3 stage wins on the day.

Adding to the runaway success of Gymkhana FIVE: Ultimate Urban Playground; San Francisco, Ken Block recently had the honor of adding a One Show Gold Pencil award to his mantle of achievements with the Gymkhana series.

Rally racing is one of the most grueling motorsports on the planet - it's typical to come back to a service missing bumpers, headlights, and windshields. And then sometimes, you lose a wheel.

After a tumultuous weekend of ups and downs, Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino successfully completed the third stop of the Rally America championship, Oregon Trail Rally, finishing second overall.

The HRD duo got off to a rough start during Friday night’s opening stages when midway through SS3, their Ford Fiesta HFHV lost the front passenger side wheel due to a freak mechanical failure. Despite missing a wheel, Block and Gelsomino pushed on and finished day one in fourth overall.

After a freak mechanical issue during Day One’s night stages at Oregon Trail Rally, where Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino lost their front right wheel while on stage, the Hoonigan Racing Division boys took to the stages outside of Hood River, Oregon on Saturday with the goal of having a much better day of racing.

Kicking off Day 1 of Rally America’s Oregon Trail Rally with plenty of excitement, Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino hit Friday’s opening stages feeling good. The duo, having had a successful test earlier in the week, were prepared for their fourth stage rally of 2013 and had a strong start to the rally on Friday evening, getting second fastest on one stage and winning the next.

Ken Block. Gymkhana. South Korea. Why? Because Monster Energy. The event, called the Ken Block Seoul Experience, was the FIRST event of its kind held in Seoul... and in the parking lot of the Seoul '88 Olympic Stadium, no less. Over 7000 Korean fans showed up to see gymkhana for the very first time outside of YouTube, and to watch along as the local drifting community had a driving contest of their own around a course designed by the Head Hoon in Charge himself. Check out the video to see the two days of tire slaying action.
