This week we saw the release of Gymkhana 6, Ken Block's latest bout of controlled driving insanity. Despite featuring a couple of Lamborghinis and more tyre smoke than any man should inhale, you lot were fairly underwhelmed. The comments section was awash with remarks such as 'we've seen it all before' and 'show me something new'. Interspersed with the apathy were debates about just which Gymkhana film is the greatest.

Addressing the latter argument, we decided to find out exactly which one you guys like the most. First, here's a reminder of where we've been:

Gymkhana Practice

This is where it all began. Back in 2008, Ken Block released 'Gymkhana Practice', a four minute video showing Block drifting his Subaru Impreza STi around the El Toro airfield in California.

At this point, Gymkhana was relatively unknown, but thanks to Block and his Crawford-tuned Scooby it became the centre-point of one of the original viral videos. This low budget, barely-commercialised video is the antithesis of his latest HD hoon.

Gymkhana Two Project

The second instalment not only gave us our first glimpse of the hatchback Impreza, but also hinted at the series' future: slick videography and tons of in-yer-face branding. But who cares when the action's this good?

Block starts as he means to go on with a ridiculous high speed, backwards-entry drift into the Port of Los Angeles, before sliding within inches of a swim with the fishes. Gratuitous slow-mo and explosions tie-up any doubt that Block means business.

Gymkhana Three: Part 1

In a sign of Block's dedication to commercialisation, Gymkhana Three was split into two separate parts. The first was this Music Video Infomercial, which was apparently an attempt to separate the marketing from the hoonery. While it did give us our first glimpse of Block's new 650bhp Fiesta, it's not a proper Gymkhana video so won't be included in the poll - the less said about this the better. So, moving on...

Gymkhana Three: Part 2

Block had to turn up in top form with this one. After the anti-climax that was Part 1, the adoring public needed their faith restored. And boy, did he deliver.

Set among the stunning woodland of France's Autodrome de Linas-Montlhery, Block's Fiesta is given a proper workout. Whether he's drifting and jumping his way through the infield or attacking the 51-degree banking at full chat, Block was back with a bang. The finale is a sickening number of donuts that put Vettel to shame, as the Fiesta's tyres finally give up in a torrent of sparks that do little to deter Ken.

Gymkhana Four

Dubbed The Hollywood Megamercial, the DC Shoes crew put it all out there in the title. If they'd gone big before, this was gonna be massive.

Opening on Block's Fiesta revving amongst a flaming plane wreck, before kicking into a classic rock anthem, the start is promising. Film buffs will enjoy finding all the movie references, but while it's heavy on production values and geeky movie references, it's a little light on the kind of insane precision hoonery we've come to expect.

Gymkhana Five

Ken Block's most ambitious project to date. Running out of closed courses to tear up, Ken decided to make his own course, by shutting down San Francisco to lay some rubber on its tarmac.

The Golden Gate bridge is an apt place to start, as Block gets the iconic bridge all to himself for a heavy dose of right foot. Ken's Fiesta drifts within feet of shop fronts and inches from trams. A few tight manouveures on the waterfront give way to a high-speed jump, living out every petrolhead's dream of getting air off San Fran's sloping streets.

h1>Gymkhana Six

The plan for Six was to take the series back to its roots. A course set up on an airfield, it is reminiscent of the first film released exactly 5 years prior.

Back on a structured course, Block exhibits the incredible skill we know he possesses. Heading back to your roots is a respectable direction to head, but Six lacks the raw appeal and shock value the first film had.
