If there were ever a video that begged to have a statutory warning stamped all over it—“Don’t try this at home,”—this is probably it. Make that, “Don’t try this ever.” Certifiable madman and the rockstar of stunt driving Ken Block is back—after a year and a half long hiatus—with the eight edition of his Gymkhana videos:

This time he heads to Dubai, the ultimate exotic playground. As the authorities shut down the Sheikh Zayed Road, Block drives his 650 HP Ford Fiesta RX 43 at top speed past many of the iconic landmarks of the city.

The images captured are breathtaking:

It’s an adrenaline rush like no other. Many of the stunts he performed bordered on sheer lunacy.
