That style of automotive competition is called a Gymkhana, and kids, it is important to know that Ken Block did not invent this form of automotive tomfoolery.
Gymkhana has been around for quite some time, like decades. It was a popular form of competition in the 1960s here in then states and has always had a following in Europe because all that is necessary is a parking lot. Gymkhana is like hybrid autocross and obstacle course that tests all of your car’s abilities and more importantly, all of your personal abilities behind the wheel.
