Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France



Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l'Autodrome de Linas --Montlhéry
this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals.
Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge.

The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming.

Shin is Ninjesque - if we may be so bold as to invent a new word.
