Bad news for sure but...who? Is Gymkhana an indie video game?

Blasphemy.
"Block played himself in the live action scenes of 2015's Need for Speed, featuring as the Style Icon that the player character strove to impress.
He also appeared as a driver in Colin McRae's Dirt 2 and Dirt 3, and his Hoonigan cars appeared in Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 3, 4, and 5."

So he has live-action roles in racing games that I don't play, that's nice. I'll not pester you again.

I took the Hoonigan Mustang for a lap around the Forza Horizon 5 map in his honor. Without Blocky I'd never have realized that racecar spelled backwards is still racecar.
