Monster Energy and Ken Block present “Gymkhana GRID:

The European Gauntlet”

and announce Ken racing the Grand Final.

Monster Energy brings Gymkhana GRID to European shores for the first time since the

concept was unleashed in the US of A at the hands of Ken Block with the raddest launch video EVER:

London, Monday 14^th May, 2012 — The tire-slaying, ball-tearing, tranny-trashing, clutch-kicking,

gasoline chugging Gymkhana GRID* is back. Two years after Ken Block changed the game of head-to-head

auto hooning forever, the raddest race format to ever grace the planet will be spanning four countries

and five events for European audiences to feast on its awesomeness. Commencing with 4 qualifying

events and coming to a climax in a grand finale which will feature Mr Gymkhana himself, GRID’s Euro

invasion is gonna shred rubber in festivals of hoonage the likes of which have yet to be seen on European shores.

Taking entries for All-Wheel-Drive and Rear-Wheel-Drive, Ken Block is joined by fellow king of drift Vaughn Gittin Jnr

in handing out an invitation to Euro warriors of these two distinct classes to face-off in the qualifying events.

The champs from each will get the chance to take on Ken (AWD) or Vaughn (RWD) in Gymkhana grand-slam

hedonism at the showdown. Flame and Thunder in the UK will host the finals over the weekend of 27-28 September

by which point we will have assembled machines and their keepers of the highest order. The winners from the

2 classes will take away a hold-all of cash and, pending Royal attendance**, a Knighthood of the Realm.

Qualifying events ahead of the finals on 27-28 October will take place at:

Monster Energy and Ken bring you the official launch video so strap in and suck it up. Those man-enough to
