We are back in Europe to do one of my favorite things ever… drive legendary Audi race cars! But this time we’re driving on ice to prepare for the upcoming GP Ice Race. We met up with our friend @jpperformance in Munich, Germany and cruised an Audi e-tron GT all the way down to to the Zell am See airport in Austria. Why? Because they have a wonderful frozen lake AND I get to test drive a freshly restored Historic Audi Quattro A2 Group B Rally car. The excitement is real!

We are back at the Zell am See frozen lake in Austria for another rad day of driving race cars. I get the pleasure of shredding the Dakar Stage Winning Audi RS Q e-tron race car, on ice… I love my job! Mattias Ekström, the driver who piloted Audi race car to the Dakar Stage win, is riding shotgun with me for a quick crash course on getting up to speed in a very new and very complex electric race car.

Introducing the HOONIPIGASUS! I teamed up with Mobil 1 Racing and BBi Autosport to build this absolutely INSANE 1400hp 4.0L twin turbo flat-six engine all-wheel drive 6-speed Sadev sequential transmission having Vintage 911 racecar! Oh wait, I forgot to mention the GPS activated height adjustable suspension, yeah it has that too. Throw a livery from the GucciGhost (@TheGucciGhost) himself and we’ve got ourselves a bad ass racecar. I’m ridiculously excited to rip this thing at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year. Here is everything that went into making this dream a reality! Go pig or go home!

​@RamTrucks gave me a new and unreleased version of their 2022 TRX: the Sandblast Edition! It’s like a supercar built for dirt, so let’s just call it a supertruck. Ridiculously comfortable luxury interior stacked with a 702 horsepower 6.2L supercharged Hemi engine, what more could you ask for? Maybe some suspension travel and frosty air conditioning? It has both of those things and plenty more. Naturally I wanted to test the limits of this new unreleased TRX so I decided to take it to Johnson Valley where they hold the annual King of the Hammers race to put it through the paces. And by paces I mean whoops, donuts, jumps, dune slides and a little Gymkhana too.

After debuting my Audi Sport Quattro replica “Turbo Monster” last year in Hoonigan’s RING LEADERS (https://youtu.be/Gufm5H4hZi0) and at SEMA in Toyo Tires booth, we had a long year of fine tuning some details in the car: from a custom exhaust from Borla for the 730+ horsepower inline-5 turbo engine, to fine tuning hand-brake location, and even registering the car complete with the custom CARCAIN(E) license plate. NOW we‘re finally able to give the Sport Quattro its first proper test at Willow Springs Raceway in Southern California. Full throttle pulls, i5 turbo exhaust sound music-to-ear science (thanks again Borla), handbrake slides, figure 8's, donuts, tire smoke (and a wheel lockup issue); the stress gets put on. After all, the goal here is to have a reliable (and hoon-capable; because when’s the last time I didn’t Hoon Test anything I drive regularly??) daily driver. Enjoy!!

Lia is learning firsthand how much work (and PATIENCE!) restoring and building an '80s-era rally legend is! Her 1985 Audi Ur-Quattro was stripped down to a bare chassis, but now it’s off to Altered Kustoms for a fresh coat of Lia’s Burgundy – an all-new color in the PPG catalog! That’s not the end of the story though, because far more than paint and body work are needed to get this car back on the road and the clock is running out for Lia’s 16th birthday!

By now it’s no secret that I’ve been driving Hyundai Motorsport's i20-based WRC rally car in the American Rally Association (ARA) 2022 Championship, and now Hyundai USA has partnered with Hoonigan Racing Division to supply me, my wife Lucy and my daughter Lia each with all-new Hyundai Kona N Line cars for rally recce! These Kona N Line cars have been outfitted with Toyo Tires, Rotiform and Motegi wheels and full tool kits including Pro Eagle jacks and Power Tank Minishots in case we get a puncture along the way!

Concord Pond, my favorite stage of the New England Forest Rally and perhaps the entire American Rally Association schedule, was one for the record books this year.
