The Motor City

Summary There is a reason it's called the Motor City. The home of American automotive, Detroit makes perfect sense as a Gymkhana location. With wide swathes of urban decay next door to a booming downtown, it paints a unique portrait of an American city. In the works for over 7 years, Ken & co have wanted to film a Gymkhana in Detroit since 2010, and finally get the opportunity. As the first shoot of GymkhanaTEN, the stakes here are incredibly high. This city will set the momentum for the rest of the year long project, so the team wants to get out the gate first. They bring the Ford Mustang Hoonicorn v2, Ken's most popular vehicle, and plan a wild array of tricks to put the Hoonigan stamp all over Detroit. But shooting in the Motor City in Fall brings a bunch of potential hazards. Filming in cities is always a challenge, with permitting, police escorts and road closures needing strict timeframes and filming to go off without a hitch. But add weather, oily roads, and a 1400hp monster of a vehicle - it's a recipe for mayhem that the Gymkhana team will have to navigate like they always do - flat out.
