A brief history of
hooning: Gymkhana
through the years
[2006]
Gymkhana One
“Ken Block’s Gymkhana Practice”
The one that started it all. Gym One was
definitely a first step but established the
style and attitude that would carry the series.
Directed by Josh Martelli, the action saw Ken
exercising the power and precision of his 2005
Subaru Impreza WRX STI.

Gymkhana Two
“The Infomercial”
Three years after the original, the same team
plus a few new recruits attempted to recapture
the success of round one. They needn’t have
worried, as Ken and his updated 2008 Impreza
laid down what many die-hards still consider
the definitive Gymkhana.

Gymkhana
Three
“Ultimate Playground: L’autodrome, France”
The departure of the Scooby was bemoaned
by many fans but the arrival of Ford, alongside
several other high-profile sponsors, allowed
the series to push on with production values
and execution to match the enthusiasm and
creativity thrown in by the team.
