2010 turned out to be the biggest and most exciting year for Ken Block's rally career. Becoming the first American to enter the World Rally Championship, Block took the motorsport world by storm by adding a full Rally America season, filming Gymkhana THREE, the Gymkhana GRID series, and more to his plate.

Codemasters latest video stars WRC driver and DiRT® 3™ technical consultant Ken Block, focussing on the all-new gymkhana game mode. The trailer mixes live action with gameplay footage as Ken Block explains the origins of the discipline and how players can hone their rally skills by unleashing their inner hoonigan. The video introduces gymkhana, the freestyle car driving showpiece pioneered by Ken Block whose video series has become a 90 million-plus views YouTube phenomenon. The trailer shows Ken Block performing incredible stunts and stunning feats of car control in a heavily modified rally car and shows how you can perform the same stunts in DiRT 3's unique gymkhana discipline. By pushing cars to their limits around purpose built arenas littered with obstacles and jumps, players will learn skills that can be put into the practice in the other game modes. "The gymkhana stuff got started for me as a simple way to get extra seat time to practice for rally," said Ken Block, DiRT 3 Technical Consultant. "For me gymkhana is an amazing feeling because it's very similar to the things I love in rally, like sliding the car at speed. Having a gymkhana element in a game like DiRT 3 just adds a whole new aspect of fun ways to do things with the car. Going through a course and trying to do it for a time or for style points is always fun but on top of that feeling you [can] use those courses to go out and learn the techniques of driving those cars, and to be able to just kinda hoon ...
