did you see Pastrana's self adjusting wing at Goodwood Festival of Speed? Deployed in less than a second.

that wing couldn't deploy faster if it were anchored behind him and stayed put while he launched

 

this was either the coolest thing to happen at Goodwood, or the 2nd coolest and the other thing's been kept a secret

!:56 to 2:40 on the video

Bentley hired Travis Pastrana for a mini Gymkhana-style video shot at the automaker’s factory in England.

The name “Mildred” on the brake lever is a nod to Mildred Mary Petre, a record-breaking racer and pilot of the 1920s. The Supersports was developed in her honor under the codename “Project Mildred.”

Bentley also emptied its heritage vault for this video. Continental GT3 race cars, the Le Mans-winning Speed 8, Bentayga, and Continental GT Pikes Peak racers, and a convoy of 1920s Bentleys all make appearances.

All three previous Bentley Supersports appear, including an original 1925 3 Liter Super Sports (spelled as two words), of which just 18 were built.

It's finally the day they released the new Travis Pastrana Gymkhana video from Australia. The race track scene is cool, and original, and the skipping across the river is very cool once you see it wasn't shallow

Pastrana and the Hoonigan guys are going to make a video, in Australia, and this is what he'll be tearing up tires with, the Brataroo

Set Down Under in the land that coined the term “hoon,” the latest entry in the viral Gymkhana film series will take place across Australia, with Travis Pastrana behind the wheel of his third fully bespoke Gymkhana Subaru, the all-new 1978 Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo

The lightweight carbon fiber widebody machine utilizes a rallycross-derived, turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer engine. Built by Vermont SportsCar, the four-cylinder delivers 670 horsepower, 680 lb-ft of torque channeled through the car’s all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed sequential SADEV gearbox and motorsport-grade differentials.

The next Gymkhana film "Aussie Shred" premieres early December on the Hoonigan YouTube channel.

I only just leaned a day ago that there is an off road rally trail at Goodwood Festival of Speed, and now I learn... Travis Pastrana was giving 150 second rides at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed’s Forest Rally grounds, to lucky passengers in the Subaru WRX ARA25 rally car

the WRX’s times on Friday were only about a second behind those of the top-flight World Rally Championship cars from Toyota, Hyundai, and Ford that were also contesting the stage this weekend. 

Skip to 45 minute mark to see Pastrana's run begin, but only to the first turn, then the camera crew focuses on other drivers, until 46:50 when they get back to Pastrana

Ken Block has been dethroned from Gymkhana videos... his last couple were lame, and here's the proof by comparison. (skip the first 30 seconds)

Reminds me of that Baja adventure that BJ Baldwin had, really good stuff.  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-monster-energy-trophy-truck-of-bj.html

Travis Pastrana took over the Ken Block Gymkhana series' 11th episode

the last instalment in Ken Block's Gymkhana series, was in 2018, and in it we saw the head Hoonigan pass the steering wheel to occasional series guest star Travis Pastrana, hinting that Pastrana would take over in future videos.

The future is now, the official title is Gymkhana 2020.

proof that 25 \mph speed limits on country roads are bullshit

and that jump at 145 mph was pretty cool, but should have been worked out for another 20 feet of air... to get to the far side of the next downslope

Not bad, but not even in the same league as the first couple Ken Block did, because those were exciting. I guess once you've seen 6 or 7, that about all the clever idea are used up. 

The videos that BJ Baldwin and RJ Anderson made were better and more original. No criticism of this video, but it's just derivative because the same guy has made all the Gymkhana videos for Ken Block... and it's a lack of imagination on his part to not come up with something more amazing... but hey, not many people can. It's like musicians, they are talented and start out strong with incredible stuff, but in just an album or two can't make a hit song to save their life. 

Guns n Roses, 3 albums for example and none of the others held a candle to the first... Boston had 1 incredible album and poof, they were done, Michael Jackson built up to Thriller, and was downhill after that, the Stones were done in ten years, AC DC and Metallica were done in 5 albums, etc. We are all stuck in a rut, except for the few truly amazing ones. Ozzy lasted longer than most for quality in several decades, Van Halen carried the quality through 2 lead singers, but was only truly amazing with DL Roth. Elton John was amazing for at least two decades, Queen was simply unbelievable, who the hell can top Bohemian Rhapsody? 

wow

Nitro Circus is teaming up with Indian Motorcycle and the History Channel to reenact three of Evel Knievel's most famous jumps.

Travis will reenact three of Evel’s most iconic jumps in Las Vegas, including the iconic Caesar’s Palace Jump, 50+ crushed cars and 14 Greyhound buses … all in one night, on live television on July 8,” said an Indian Motorcycle representative

Travis Pastrana, and Nitro Circus incredible stunt nuts, are making movies... I didn't even know that.

of course, sometimes, things went wrong (skip the inevitable bullshit first minute)
