Say what you will about Ken Block's driving prowess, but there's no disputing the man's mastery of spectacle. Ten years ago, all a rally driver needed to advertise an event or show was a poster. Thanks to Block's epic hoonvertisments for gymkhana, however, it takes nothing less than pyrotechnics and half the Norwegian Army to raise the bar for rally driving promotion.

This promo for last year's Solberg Extreme Motorshow features the brothers Solberg slipping and sliding through what appears to be Norway's equivalent of Fort Bragg, complete with soldiers firing Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifles (in slow-motion!) and an M1 Abrams tank that, try as it might, just can't lock its main gun onto those rally cars. Watch in high-definition for maximum enjoyment.
