Ken Block is back on track -- this time in France. After the success of the Gymkhana Practice video with over 20 million combined views, Block released an amazing viral Part II with another 20+ million views. Now we have 'Gymkhana III,' which launched only three days ago and already has over five million views.
The video was shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas–Montlhéry. This 1.58-mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees. That's more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals!
