In the slow motion section, you could actually see the pulses of exhaust gas coming out of the exhaust, which I thought was pretty cool.
Also fairly sure they had quite a few takes for some of the shots.

It must be hard for Ken Block to have to mess about on airfields in the best prepared Impreza's Dont know how he can drag himself out of bed in the morning Awesome driver though

Anyone know if you can get the DC shoes Subaru team USA wear in the UK?

Did they make an austin metro princess?? My uncle had a brown one when they were new and then got a mustardy coloured maestro. My mum also had a wartburg....... the only car uniroyal didnt do a tyre for. A little off topic but there you go I needed to get that off my chest. Ken Block? a proper driving god!

leckonfield is an all arms training base for soldiers learning to drive multiple military vehicles it's got some proper off road tracks and a massive area to drive on if they do something there it will be epic i lived there for a few months damn wish i could go back if it happens.

and the tg episode was brilliant ken block blew my socks off even though we always slate "the video" he is an awesome driver no doubt!!
