Today, we’re not going to focus so much on a supercar or hypercar. Instead, we’re going to focus on how a parent is spending quarantine time with one of his kids.<\/p>\n

Well, one specific parent and one specific kid. Ken Block, for those who do not know, is a co-founder of DC Shoes that sold all of his ownership in the company to pursue his motorsports dreams.<\/p>\n

He then started Hoonigan Racing, originally the Monster World Rally Team, and has participated in multiple WRC, ARA, and local rallies in a variety of modern and classic rally cars. Most recently, he has been rallying in a modified 1992 Ford Escort Sierra RS Cosworth.<\/p>\n

He is probably most famous for the Gymkhana YouTube videos, where he drifts, slides, and rallies cars around city roads, airfields, and pretty much anywhere a car can be driven. In one particularly memorable version, Gymkhana 5<\/a>, he tore around San Francisco in one of the first variations of the MS-RT Fiesta RS rally cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His oldest daughter, Lia, is 13. And during the lockdown, he’s been teaching her the ins and outs of “Hooning about.” She already has a start in competitive driving, achieving a few podium finishes in the UTV class of junior rallycross. However, she has never driven a manual… until a couple of days before Ken Block dropped the video below!<\/p>\n
