Ken Block’s Gymkhana 4 has been filmed and is ready for release in a few days, on August 16. To hype up the release of the video, a teaser trailer has been released, getting us ready for some serious hoon action. In the video, we get a thirty second taste of the turbocharged rally monster. Nine GoPro cameras catch the half-metre long flame flowing out of the Ford’s titanium exhaust. We are very excited to see what Ken has up his sleeves for us.
Check out the video after the jump!
“Monster” Tajima’s record-setting Pikes Peak car was heavily sponsored by GoPro Cameras, which is why it’s no surprise that they’re letting us experience the glory of the sub-10-minute run for ourselves.
Tajima’s Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special was outfitted with multiple cameras, capturing every angle of the epic run. GoPro’s dedicated team of boffins is editing the footage right now—good luck boys, and I’ll buy you a Red Bull Sugarfree for your efforts—but what we do have right now is the most important angle of all: the front view out the cockpit, shot on the GoPro Hero in full, glorious 1080p HD.
Watch Tajima storm the tarmac after the jump.
Racers from all facets of motorsports and alternative sports are turning towards helmet cams to show off their crazy antics on YouTube. GoPro has become a leader in offering these compact cameras and it looks like they’re coming out with a real affordable option to the masses.
Our favorite nerdy tech site, Engadget, has teased the public with GoPro’s upcoming HD Hero 960 camera that is supposed to retail for just $180. There aren’t many details but it’s anticipated to drop in the fall and we can safely assume that it’ll offer 960p resolution instead of 1080. But when it comes to showcasing videos on the Web or even on TV, 920p vs 1080p is no big deal. We can’t wait!
