The Baja 1000 race just recently wrapped up after months of preparation and it was one of the coolest racing experiences I’ve ever had. And now, you can see the full coverage from the team’s attempt and see how we ended up 4th overall despite a mechanical issue, in this latest BAJA UPDATE from Zac, from the series finale of Whoopocalypse Now!

Trophy Trucks need to handle some of the most extreme terrain and high speed abuse of any racing racing vehicle on the planet. The suspension set up plays a MASSIVE role in the effectiveness and performance in these trucks. In this episode, we are back in Plaster City, CA to do some shock testing with King Shocks. To aid in our R&D (and because its sick AF) we brought out some high speed cameras, and a shot over gimbal system mounted to a Ford Raptor. This way, you can see all of the suspension articulation and functionality of this truck in slow motion.

The first thought into Ken Block's head after driving the 1100hp Geiser Bros Trophy truck was: "That was rad...but can it Gymkhana? " The obvious solution to this was to try it out and make this video. We went to Irwindale Speedway and set up a legitimate Gymkhana Grid course (the same layout used for 2013 x-games), brought out the Hoonigan crew, and spent the day thrashing - all in the name of science. Because this is science, we needed something to compare the Trophy Truck's runs with. So we brought out 3x Formula Drift Champion - Chris Forsberg in his competition car to lay down a benchmark run. Just for safe measure, we got Hoonigan's very own, Hert to rip some laps in the "Shart Kart" to see what a more "normal" car could do. Will this help Ken prepare for the 1000? Probably not. But it was a good excuse to hammer on a truck, rip donuts, and have a good time with our buds.

Plaster City, CA has long been the benchmark for desert truck testing in the US. It’s home to some of the gnarliest whoops this side of the border. On this episode of Whoopocalypse Ken Block and co-driver Alex Gelsomino head to the famed site to get some wide open high speed testing under their belt, ahead of the Baja 1000. To top it off, we wrapped Team mate Jax Redline’s helicopter in the same “It’s A Living” livery as the truck, and VFX wizard Ash Thorp even drops in for a ride along.

What happens when you let a 16 year old race your top spec rally car in their first rally?? In episode 4 of "Whoopocalypse Now", we get my Baja 1000 teammate, Jax Redline prepared to race my Escort Cosworth V2 in his first ever rally at New England Forest Rally. There is a ton of work that goes into preparing for a race like this. We sent Jax to get instruction from the best in the business. First he trained with my co-driver Alex Gelsomino, then Dirtfish rally school, and finally a multiple day program at Team O'Neil rally school. Jax did exceptionally well during the first day of the race, making his way up the leaderboard and rounding out the day 7th on the road. Unfortunately, an off on day 2 led to a gearbox issue that would put him out of the race. But hey....THATS RALLY.

Rally racing legend Ken Block along with 16-year-old rising trophy truck racing star Jax Redline unveiled their 1100HP Geiser Bros G6 Trophy Truck sporting a brand new 2021 It’s a Living collab livery at a live reveal party at Papas & Beer in Rosarito, Mexico. Rapper Lil Jon hosted the celebration of the unconventional pairing’s truck launch, and the announcement of the team’s third driver for the Baja 1000, 2019 overall winner Alan Ampudia, along with thousands of local fans, champagne, and fireworks. The trophy truck now joins the pantheon of Block’s vehicles sporting Mexican artist Ricardo Gonzalez’s, a.k.a. It’s a Living, exclusive design including Block’s Subaru STI, Cossie V2, and Tuthill Safari Porsche Rally vehicles. “It’s exciting to see the merging of all these worlds,” said Block. “Bringing together a guy from rally like me with two amazingly talented trophy truck racers and the work of an artist like Ricardo with this truck from one of the greatest builders in the world is an incredible moment.” In today’s episode, Block and the Hoonigan crew deliver the three-punch combo of announcements about Block’s unorthodox foray into the world of desert racing which took place at the Ampudia family’s restaurant and nightclub. “Most livery reveals are pretty boring and underwhelming,” said Block. “With the addition of Alan Ampudia to the team, it was only right that we did this big and on Alan’s home turf.” Block is starting his journey to the Baja 1000 as soon as possible by competing in the first leg of the Vegas to Reno race this August with rally co-driver Alex Gelsomino. “The ultimate goal here is winning the whole Baja 1000,” said Block. “So we are using this race to throw ourselves in and get as much seat time as possible going into the big event. There’s a big learning curve for us.” Block’s odyssey to the Baja 1000 can be seen in the 8-part Whoopocalypse Now series dropping on his YouTube channel. The series will include seat-swapping with Redline in Block’s sport of rally racing at Team O’Neal, racing NEFR, Block pitting his rally car versus the trophy truck, and maybe even some trophy truck Gymkhana driving.

Back when you saw Ken Block visit Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt to kick off their all- new partnership, what we couldn’t show you were the very first sketches for this: the Audi S1 Hoonitron. AKA a car built in the legendary halls of Audi Sport, for the sole purpose of being the world’s first all-electric Gymkhana car. From mind boggling wheel speeds to Group B inspired bodywork, the Hoonitron is unlike anything we’ve ever been around - so we dive into all of its wild and tech-heavy details.

They do things a little different in the south. So we've enlisted the help of Dustin "Battle Axe" Jones and S3 Powersports to build the ultimate mud bog Can-Am, and show us how swamp people get down! Starting with a 2021 Can-Am Defender Pro HD10 as a base, S3 Powersports went to work on a full overhaul, including their 8" suspension, 24" Fuel UTV wheels, a custom roll cage and sheetmetal dash, full stereo, and of course the all important snorkel system.

On this episode we're headed out of our element and into the muddy swamps of Louisiana with off-road racer, Dustin Jones and UFC fighter, Cowboy Cerrone. Right outside of Shreveport, LA lies Muddy Bottoms, a 5000 acre ATV park that is said to be some of the best mud riding in the country. We're taking our S3 Power sports built, Can-Am Defender Pro HD10, sitting on 24" Fuel UTV wheels and putting it to the test.

WATCH the full Can-Am walkaround video here: https://youtu.be/8KPhFugAlOk The Glamis sand dunes are arguably the most iconic dunes in all of North America. Known for its sheer size and proximity to the epicenters of action sports and desert racing, Glamis is where the big boys come to go HUGE. It's the perfect location to test our new @S3PowerSportsMedia built Can-Am Maverick x3 RS. And while the Can-Am is the perfect all around sand ripper, no Glamis trip would be complete without experiencing a completely ridiculous, 1-off, 2000hp sand car that does wheelies. Thanks to Tatum Motorsports for shredding with us in their twin turbo LSX powered, TRX 4.
