I could probably jump back into the Hoonicorn and not have too many problems, but the other way around I would struggle. It still takes me a couple of days of driving that car to really get used to it again. I wish I could drive the Escort here but I knew I wouldn’t have the time for both, so that’s why we brought Tuerck out.” Ryan Tuerck from New Hampshire, USA is a pro drift driver and a valuable addition to the Hoonigan crew. “Ken and the Hoonigans have given me an amazing opportunity to slay tires in one of the raddest cars ever built,” said Tuerck. “The Ford Escort Mk2 is a legendary rally car and this build is the ultimate mash-up of old and new and JDM and Euro... I absolutely love it. I have always wanted to compete in the Gymkhana GRiD events and I’m stoked to travel to England and give it my best shot against some of the finest drivers in the world. It is so cool to rep the Stars and Stripes on the hood of this badass Gymkhana machine.” ....................................
