Ep 8. Where it all Began

A long time ago, before Ken was a factory driver, before he was racing for world championships, he was a rookie known for a few national wins but completely unproven on the world stage. Ken, and the Monster World Rally team (as it was known back then) knew they needed to test their skills on the highest level, and so they arrived for the first time ever in 2007 at the World Rally Championship in Guanajuato, Mexico. An extremely successful first race here at Guanajuato legitimized Ken as a world level driver, and paved the way for the last decade of racing and viral content. So for GymkhanaTEN, the team knew they had to come back here. To where it all began. Guanajuato is a rally town, through and through. The fans are extreme, and while normally the race takes place out in the hills around the town, for GymkhanaTEN Ken and Brian wanted to bring Ken's Ford Focus RS RX down into the narrow mining tunnels that are one of the most iconic features of the town. Because the team knows this city so well, they've admittedly not really thought the segment fully through. Which either means it's going to be a complete disaster, or they might just have the best GymkhanaTEN segment yet, in this city that helped launch Ken Block and GYMKHANA to a world audience.
