L'Autodrome near Paris, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees - more than double the standard incline of NASCAR ovals. A perfect setting for 'Gymkhana' - an automotive sport that takes places on an open field and requires drivers to skillfully maneuver their cars around a series of cones, slaloms, turns, figure eights or other obstacles - using extreme acceleration, braking and drifting.

Similar to "autocross", the gymkhana courses are often complex and memorizing. Chosen by Ken Block for this reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be an exciting challenge. The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming.
