Tonight ESPN will bring Gymkhana Grid to a huge worldwide audience as part of X Games. We had the opportunity to do a little filming during practice yesterday and bring you another preview of what's to come.

Drivers in this clip include Kennith of Blockinghaus, Liam Doran, David Higgins, Stephan Verdier and Tanner Foust. The race will be broadcast live on ESPN starting around 7:30pm (PST).

Yes, it was built by Prodrive and is driven by Liam Doran. (He drove a Citroen at the previous X Games.)

Are we gonna see Ken Block asking for multiple takes of his runs so that he can get it perfect for the cameras?

And Sebastien Loeb will wake up from a 2 day bender, bunny slippers and all, and embarrass him.

I have a message to the industry of people putting music to car videos on YouTube.... please for the love of tires and smoke STOP putting music to car videos! Or at least give the option to turn that crap off and just listen to the car thrashing around.

The day before we released another video (featured on Jalopnik) with just car noises from the same event. Doing a cut with music from time-to-time is okay too. The thing to consider with slow-motion is that you can't really use the original sound... because that would also be slowed and sounds really weird.

I appreciate the response, I really do. I understand not being able to use the original sound track because the timing would be off. But you guys understand where everyone is coming from on this stuff right?

Yup. That's why we regularly do edits without music. Check our channel on YouTube.
