Amazon Prime did a really good series on the making of this, starting with Climbkhana and also dipping into his exit from global rallycross. They also showed how much trouble went into production, particularly the Detroit and LA legs.

Great vids to end Ford 2018.

The detail of the F150 is incredible. Fords input is unbelievable the engine being from the first Ford GT test mule, The air intake build is insane.

For 2019 can we please, please, please get Ken Block to Australia to do a scene where he does donuts around the Advertising Standards Bureau people having a meeting seated in a car park.
These are the numb nuts that thought the Raptor commercial was too reckless.
The look on their faces would be priceless.

They did a couple of behind-the-scenes vids and mentioned that one of the Gymkhana vids was supposed to be done in Australia but it all got too hard and nanny-state
