New Series ‘Hoonigan’s Rally Speedrun Championship’ Launches on YouTube
Six-part series features legendary drivers, custom-built cars & a purpose-built track in an all-new competition format…
Hoonigan is back with an all-new original motorsport series on their very own rally stage. “Hoonigan’s Rally Speedrun Championship” presented by KMC Wheels is a six-part series featuring wild cars, wild edits and a no-holds-barred rally course specifically designed to put drivers to the test, noted officials in a press release.
Each episode filmed on the purpose-built private rally course designed by rally expert Wyatt Knox and the team at Hoonigan, pits a single driver and machine against the clock. The course covers 1.3 miles with 11 complex corners, multiple blind crests, two jumps, and pockets that deliver intense speeds. With onboard telemetry and biometric data like heart rate tracking, viewers get a front-row seat to the pressure and physical intensity of competitive driving.
“Hoonigan came to me, true to form, with a wild idea: build a rally course from scratch that would push world-class drivers and machines to their limits,” said Knox. “That’s exactly what we did. With the Hoonigan crew’s creative energy, we carved a flowing, high-risk course through the rolling hills—jumps, deep sand, sharp elevation, and even a donut as a tribute to the ‘Gymkhana’ films. It’s built to reward the smart, punish the reckless and expose every weakness. In rally, they say ‘to finish first, first you must finish’—this track lives and breathes that ethos. It’s a must-see series.”
Legendary Drivers Pushing Themselves & Their Cars to the Limit
The competitor lineup includes Jeff Zwart, an eight-time Pikes Peak Class Champion, driving a 450 hp Porsche GT3 Cup car, while drivers like Faruk Kugay, a 10-year Formula Drift veteran, will be in a classic 1980 Toyota Corolla. Other drivers include Alastair Scully in a WRC2-spec Hyundai i20; Patrick Gruszka, with his long-travel Mitsubishi Mirage Proto; and Blake Wilkey, in his 660 hp trophy truck “JAWS.” Season 2 will keep the action rolling with fresh machines like a WRC replica and a high-revving CrossKart, noted the release.
The show is hosted by Knox, whose rally knowledge and analysis are matched by the humor and hype of co-hosts Micah Diaz and Gary King Jr., familiar faces from the Hoonigan universe.
Hoonigan says that whether you’re a lifelong motorsport fanatic or just here for the thrills, its “Rally Speedrun Championship” series delivers something as rare and pure as friends racing against the clock on their very own rally stage. The series is exclusively on the Hoonigan YouTube channel, presented by KMC Wheels. Three episodes are currently available, with a new episode dropping every week.
