There are few words to describe how unbelievably cool Ken Block’s new Dubai video is.

The footage shows Ken, one of the world’s most famous professional rally car drivers absolutely tearing up the city, in a video involving falcons, big cats, a drag race with four other supercars, areoplanes and many, many police cars.

The Dubai video serves as the eighth installment to Block’s Gymkhana series. A series which propelled 48-year old Block to fame when he started it in 2013.

Here’s the video. Even if you don’t know how to drive, it’s still an incredible watch. Careful though, once you watch one, you’ll feel compelled to watch them all…
