Ken Block Gymkhna Practice

Gymkhana is a type of motorsport practiced in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and South Africa. The governing body of Gymkhana in Japan is the Japan Auto Federation, a Japanese division of the FIA.

Gymkhana courses typically involve only the use of first and second gear, where autotesting in the UK and Ireland add the use of reverse gear. A gymkhana course will typically be from 0:45 to 1:30 in length. Gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization of the track, as sections of the course frequently must be repeated or navigated backwards and or differently. The driver will use many techniques to effectively navigate a course. Handbrake technique, drifting and sliding and Left-foot braking are all necessary skills for gymkhana.
