I was actually there for this event on Saturday, it is very entertaining to watch, the cars are amazing. The crowd wasn't very large but that was expected considering its is a less common type of racing to see and the weather was less than spectacular, but I can imagine it getting bigger once the word gets out of how entertaining and fun it actually is. Definitely more exciting to watch than your average Formula D event, these cars take such a beating though usually at least one car per race had something break, come loose, or fail entirely lol the pit crews are amazing though I watched the subie team swap out a transfer case in like 5 minutes lol I definitely would go again. I see a new trend becoming of this ;)

This seems more entertaining them drifting. I like the idea of dirt and tarmac and the course laid out like it is.

I'm so glad Marcus Gronholm is in this. I'm ecstatic to finally be able to watch him race again.

i actually spoke with Ken Block and he said the next Gymkhana will be in the summer at an undetermined date. He also said they've been tossing around the idea of making it a Grassroots open, so anybody can compete.
