Gymkhana 2025: Aussie Shred Heads Down Under [video]

The Gymkhana series of videos were popularised by Ken Block. However, with the untimely passing of the chief hoonigan, the torch has been passed to Travis Pastrana. The latest in the series is called Gymkhana 2025: Aussie Shred. As with many of the previous videos the car is this star. In this case it’s called the Brataroo.

The Brataroo is hands down the craziest Gymkhana car we’ve ever built. Every part of this car was designed to take the abuse we threw at it while making this film. From hanging two tires off a pier to flying 160 feet across a 10-story deep canyon gap over a road train. Skimming across a deep lake and scaring myself every step of the way

Custom Made

The Subaru ‘Brataroo’ 9500 Turbo, a re-imagining of a 1978 Subaru BRAT. However it has been completely re-engineered as a purpose-built Gymkhana weapon. The case was built to corner, slide and fly well beyond the capabilities of its predecessors. As a result it features most advanced active aerodynamics on a Gymkhana car to date. The rallycross-derived machine features a fire-spitting turbocharged 2,0-litre boxer engine that revs to over 9 600 r/min. As a result it develops 500 lW and 920 N.m of torque.

Famous Faces

In true Gymkhana fashion, the short film features a host of cameos from local motorsport icons. The loist includes two-time Dakar Rally champion Toby Price, Subaru WRC driver Chris Atkinson, Nitro Circus BMX riders Ryan Williams, Jaie Toohey and Will Brown. In addition a field of V8 Supercars drivers who challenge the Brataroo to a rolling drag race down Mount Panorama’s Conrod Straight.

According to director, Brian Scotto, this will be Pastrana’s last Gymkhana, which begs the question: who is next in line? If you enjoyed this post, please feel free to share it using the social media buttons below.
