Stunt driver Ken Block in his ultimate playground.

[JohnnyRingo]

His playground in this case is the city of San Fran.

I know we remember Steve McQueen using the "Mean Streets" in the famous chase scene from "The French Connection" in his '68 Mustang, but we've come a long way since then.

Here in this DC Shoes/Ford commercial, Ken Block drives his specially prepared Ford Fiesta through a closed course. Notice the ratchet shifter, front hand brake, rev limiter, and all wheel drive. He's one busy guy in that cockpit:

Block has set an incredibly high bar when it comes to drifting.

On edit:
This is where it all began. This is a 50 year old MG Midget threading the cones at an autocross. There's absolutely no faster way around this course, and he's doing it on 90hp and no special prep. Considering he has to at once use the brake, throttle, and clutch with only two feet is incredible.
