Ken Block is an American drifter who ran some WRC events in  2010.   A bit 
of a crasher he was, but started to get the hang of it  late in the season.  
He just wowed the fans at the Goodwood Festival in  England recently in 
that car.  That track in the video is Montlhery in  France.  Been around since 
the 1920's  It used to host the French Gran  Prix.   Looks like the surface 
is getting a bit rough these  days.
 
The great Italian champion Antonio Ascai died driving a very fast Alfa P2  
GP car there at age 36 in 1925 on the 26th of the month.  His son Alberto  
also became Gran Prix Champion in the 1950's but died testing a Ferrari at 
Monza  at the same age 36 and on the 26th day (of a different month).  Odd  
coincidence .   I also think I remember a top Lightweight XKE Jag  driver 
getting creamed (killed) when a car came off the banking out of control  and 
smashed into his car in the pits.  Forgot his name though.  (me  ole brain 
fergits some of this stuff....)
