Let’s face it, motorsport was never as popular as it should be. Perhaps it’s a bit difficult to capture the sheer emotions inside a race car and spread it into the world. On the other hand, eleven people fighting another eleven people over kicking a ball is the king of all sports. Well, if there’s anybody that knows how to draw attention to motorsport that’s Ken Block and since his Gymkhana series has already shown us tons of excitment, he now joined forces with soccer football starts to take things to the next level. Prepare for... Footkhana.
Ken Block is not alone though, he has a partner in the form of his Ford Fiesta ST RX43 rally car. If the thing can get him sideways through a forest at hair-raising speeds, it can probably do well on the improvised football arena we have here.
Battling the Gymkhana man, we find a series of names that bring fear to any ball in the world. The main role goes to Neymar Jr. As if he wasn’t more than enough, he’s got Lassi Hurskainen, Andrew Henderson and Sean Garnier on his side. Oh and let’s not forget about Cafu...
The two sides battle it out with the classic aim - the net. We won’t bring any spoilers here, but we can tell you Block cheats a bit towards the ending. Never mind that, check out the result and you’ll see this is all a thrown game. No reasons to complain though!
