Video: Ford gets festive with stop-motion gymkhana

Clearly Ford is feeling somewhat festive. The stop-motion, Lego-y Ken Block gymkhana spin-off it usually gives us at this time of year has arrived, and the good news is it’s rather entertaining. 

Full of film and telly references (see how many you can spot, there are loads), this year’s star is a model Fiesta rally car and, as always, its fictional and presumably to-scale driver, Mental Block. 

No doubt a lot of work went into Snowkhana 5, and it shows. We especially like the tyre-smoke, which looks like bits of torn cotton wool, and the Fast & Furious-inspired drag race scene. Well worth three minutes or so of your time.
