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.

Finally, someone gets back to making a fun video of horsepower and screwing around. The dialog is shit, and the music sucks, but the nepo baby didn't get rich or famous for writing or music.


Terrible Herbst was a gas station owner in the 1940s, founded a gas station/convivence store/casino in 1959, and his son is now the CEO of the company/race team. 

Maybe this kid is acting, or maybe, he was given shit dialog and told to just shut up and drive, or maybe he's really this effing annoying. Whatever, it's not like I'm ever going to run into him or give a shit about how he comes across to actress/models on his you tube video career. 

But you'd think a manager, a friend, or even Gittin, would have pointed out how unlikeable his character comes across. If you can't like him, you can't root for him, you can't be a fan. Drivers, races, and series only exist to create a fan base so the sponsors can sell product.

pretty clever, and interesting visual effect to jump from car to car in one direction as the train moves simultaneously in the opposite direction at the same speed

 
In a great display of skill, 2024 Slopestyle World Champion Dawid Godziek made mountain biking history by performing daring tricks on a moving train.

One error, and he likely would have been seriously injured as the train rolled over him, or if he didn't stick to the middle of the rail cars

Whatever happened to all the cool videos that motorsports people used to make? Ken Block, BJ Baldwin, Danny MacAskill, RJ Anderson, Travis Pastrana,  etc, if they still make videos, I sure haven't heard of it. Yes, I know, Block died. And yes, I really do believe if I didn't state that right now, someone would feel the need to tell me -  thinking I'm ignorant. No. I'm not.

The new video from Ken Block is released, and starts off with two nice moves and good camera work, all in the first 2 minutes (as soon as they get over the title card bullshit(we already know his name)) after that, not impressive.


the 360 spins moving down the road and across intersections is a nice move, and power sliding backwards to change directions from heading north, to heading south, to 180 around an island in the road, nice.

The slow slides through casino drop offs for passengers? Yawn. If he'd went high speed through the narrow corridors and parking garage entrys and exits, that would have been cooler
