      Nah, he is not a good driver. He is just a rich boy who can dump money on cars. He is more a stun man than a driver.
      In the rally world, too many others like Sebastien Loeb, Colin McRae are far more talented and better than him.

      @@steviejrr Haha I would love to see you take the 1400hp (likely more) hoonicorn around pikes peak. You would fall off the side of the first turn to your miserable and lonely death. You probably drive a PT cruiser convertible, so you can shut up.

    The Hoonicorn itself was just a masterpiece of a car. When Ken showcased its performance in Gymkhana 7 and Top Gear, it proved to be one hell of a car with one hell of a driver behind it. Ken may be gone now but his videos and cars will always be here. Rest in Peace Ken, your skill behind the wheel will never be forgotten.

It truly will not ever be the same without you. Real legends never die, and your legacy will live on, in the heart of myself and many others. You revolutionized the car scene and bought it to the point it is today.

They weren’t “ I was faster by .5 seconds” they were always about who got the most sideways in the corners. Ken was someone who inspired many from bringing alternative skater style to motorsport, inspiring hoonicorn replicas, giving many athletes a platform to grow with sponsoring DC. The action sport world lost a good one and wish the block family the best during these hard times. Rest In Peace Ken

Now, 10 days ago, I was here on YT, looking for something and I saw the news that he passed away, even if I didn't cry or be sad, I knew it was a great loss, I saw all my friends sad about him, almost everywhere I go on Internet was talking about him, paying condolences, and this will be a day I wont forgot, like when Senna died, nobody will forget when, where or what they were doing when the news came.
    Like everybody on the car community, I will miss him, he was a hero we didnt deserved, but a hero that we needed to teach us a lesson that everything is possible if you want, and most importantly, if you have fun doing it.

If you haven't seen what she's been up to, she drag raced the 1400HP Hoonicorn in Hoonicorn vs. the World Season 2! At 14! She's incredible, and really deserves the support of all the fans of her father.

      Dude he has 3 daughters, all of which are damn fast at kart racing, and will probably be great drivers. Talent breeds talent

    Ken Block was a master of his craft, and one of the original sensations of TH-cam. Enough said.

    Ken was such an influential driver. I loved how amazing he was as a driver and a person. Still processing that we won’t have this legend around anymore. Rest in peace Ken.

    I remember the first time I saw Gymkhana practice, mind blown. I showed it to everyone I knew. I don't know how many times I've even seen it

    I was lucky enough to travel to the X Games and see Ken race in 2011. I was only 16 years old then. Great memories. Rest In Peace Ken Block

    I remember where is was when I first saw the original gymkhana video. Was always into motorsport so it was right up my alley but that video opened the car world doors to a whole generation of people that previously didn’t care. The entire automotive and entertainment industries both owe him an enormous amount of gratitude

    I remember finding out about gymknana when I was 13 years old. He fueled my love for motorsport to irreversible levels. The aesthetic of his cars and everything else blow my mind. Started drinking monster because of him. Ultimately found out about pikes peak and formula drift because of Ken.
    Just cant believe he's gone. Id wanna say rest in peace but with Ken its gonna be more like rest in furious tire smoke and turbocharged thunder.

    This side of the automotive world will forever be different thanks to the things Ken did. He was such a massive inspiration to a lot of us. Personally, he kept me in the world of Rally after the passing of McRae. This world would be so much worse if we didn't have Ken.
    Rest in Peace 🖤🤍💚🤍🖤

    Great tribute. As a fellow fan of the hoonicorn, I just love how the car looks standing still, it just looks right, and just gets better when driven. Great job by the build team. RIP Ken
