Not satisfied with destroying America's roadcourses, airports and parkinglots, Rallye Driver Extraordinaire Ken Block took his insane 650hp AWD Ford Fiesta to Paris' L'Autodrome and tried it there.

Sections of the track at Montlhery are more than 90 years old, including the extremely steep 51-degree banking. Stalled cars can actually "fall off the track". The original French GP was held here. This course was a testing ground for some of the world's first 150+mph Grand Prix racers. It was also treacherous and claimed the life of many world-class racers.

Block attacks the track from as many angles as possible, then jumps off and takes a tour of the parkinglot and pedestrian entries! The car is paddle-shifted; the tall chrome lever is the rear brake. Ken really "lights them up" at the end.

What must the world think of us Americans??

I figured this would help y'all fight the winter blues.
YEEEE-HAAAAAA! :lol:
