See part of the next Gymkhana video way before you're supposed to.
toddafrankInstagramWe’ve known for months Travis Pastrana and Hoonigan are planning to film the next Gymkhana video using Pastrana’s wild 900-hp Subaru GL wagon. What we didn’t know is where this year’s Gymkhana would take place. Thanks to behind-the-scenes footage from Gymkhana filming shot by an onlooker, we have a whole lot more information, and even an action shot of Pastrana jumping his car over a bridge.
Photos and video published by toddafrank on Instagram show Pastrana’s car jumping over a bridge in spectacular fashion. The post is geotagged in Marathon, a city in the Florida Keys. There are plenty of onlookers both on-shore and in the water, and we can hear a helicopter in the background. So there’s a pretty good chance the Hoonigan crew is filming for Gymkhana down there.
Pastrana’s GL wagon, dubbed the Family Huckster, is well-suited for the job as Gymkhana star. Though it might look like an old Subaru wagon from the Eighties, it’s been completely revamped with a new drivetrain and super-funky active aerodynamics, first displayed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June.
This latest Gymkhana film will be the second shot with Pastrana at the wheel. Gymkhana videos have long-featured Hoonigan boss Ken Block. But since his split with Ford, it’s been Pastrana in the driver’s seat. Like all Gymkhanas, we’re sure the finished product will be a blast to watch.
