Historically, his Gymkhana videos include at least one brutish creation. He left Ford in 2021 after 11 years with Ford Performance, and now he's in a new partnership with Audi.

1985 MG Metro 6R4 Group B Rally Car

1985 MG Metro 6R4 Group B Rally Car

Group B rally cars are the stuff of legend: fire-spitting, gravel-throwing machines from the likes of Audi, Peugeot, Lancia and Renault. The tacked-on box flares just added to their coolness factor. These machines defined the ’80s–until the FIA pulled the plug on their class after the 1986 season. The reason? Just too fast–and deadly–for their own good.
