Hoonigan’s Rally Speedrun Championship Is Here – And It’s Awesome

If you’ve been craving full-throttle, no-holds-barred rally action with that signature Hoonigan chaos, buckle up—because Hoonigan is officially back, and they’ve cooked up something wild. Say hello to the Rally Speedrun Championship, a brand-new series that throws the rulebook straight into the dirt and replaces it with pure speed, insane builds, and a course that looks like it was designed in a fever dream (in the best way possible).

Presented by KMC Wheels, this six-part series is all about solo, all-out time attacks on a purpose-built rally stage that doesn’t mess around. Each episode, a new driver takes a crack at the beast of a track and trust us—it’s not forgiving.

The Rally Course: Built To Break Egos (And Cars)

Designed by rally guru Wyatt Knox and the Hoonigan crew, this isn’t just some fire road with cones. It’s a custom-built, 1.3-mile stretch of pure rally madness: 11 corners, multiple blind crests, two jumps, and the kind of deep sand and elevation shifts that make seasoned pros sweat. There’s even a donut zone tribute to the OG Gymkhana days. Its rally meets time trial with a side of “hold my beer.”

With onboard telemetry and even biometric tracking (yeah, you get to see heart rates spike), every hairpin and huck gives you a front-row seat to the intensity of high-level driving.

The Drivers: Heavy Hitters & Wild Cards

The lineup is stacked and weird in the best way. We’re talking:

Jeff Zwart – 8-time Pikes Peak champ, bombing the course in a 450hp Porsche GT3 Cup car

Faruk Kugay – Formula Drift vet, bringing the sideways heat in a 1980 Corolla

Alister Skully – Taming a WRC2-spec Hyundai i20

Patrick Gruszka – Letting loose in a long-travel Mitsubishi Mirage Proto

Blake Wilkey – Straight desert-racing insanity with “JAWS,” his 660hp trophy truck

And that’s just Season 1. Season 2 is already in the works with even wilder rigs, including a full-on WRC replica and a screaming CrossKart that looks like it runs on rocket fuel and bad intentions.

The Vibes: Full Send, Zero Fluff

Hosted by rally expert Wyatt Knox (who literally built the course) and hyped up by Hoonigan regulars Micah Diaz and Gary King Jr., the show nails that perfect combo of deep car nerding and raw, unfiltered fun.

Whether you’re into lap times, tire smoke, or just watching awesome drivers push custom-built beasts to their limit, this series has it. It’s like watching your dream rally playground come to life—with all the camera angles and behind-the-scenes access your adrenaline-loving heart can handle.
