Ken Block's Footkhana Combines Cars and Soccer
Some way, some how, Ken Block and his Gymkhana videos continue to push the edge of automotive entertainment.
This time around, Block and his team decided to combine Gymkhana with one of the world’s most popular sports: football (or as Americans would call it, soccer).
FIFA World Cup star Neymar Jr. took his freestyle team to take on Block and his Ford Fiesta race car to see who really has the fancier footwork. In one of the oddest football or soccer matches you’ll ever see, Block not only plays offense with his Fiesta, but defense as well protecting the goal from Jr. and his team of kickers.
Who wins? You’ll have to watch to find out.
