BOLD RIDE
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a chance to see beautiful cars and watch professional drivers take some of them for a spin. Those drivers are often well-known names and this year the list included Ken Block. He showed up with his Hoonicorn, an absolutely bonkers custom Mustang, and took event founder Lord March for a ride that was more exciting than usual, even for Block.
According to CarScoops, Block was behind the wheel of his 845 horsepower, 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn. That tells you right there that whatever was going to happen was going to be at least a little crazy. Then again, when does Block do anything that doesn’t smack a little of insanity?
He decided to take his monster of a car out for a ride with a smiling Lord March in the passenger seat. It starts off well enough, but then Block loses things on a corner and slides right off the track and into the grass. He manages to stop just shy of hitting the hay bales. Both he and March are wearing huge smiles the whole time.
Block headed back onto the pavement and let loose with some smokey donuts which seemed like an appropriate response to the situation. The pair then took off down the track to finish the course.
