Watch Lewis Hamilton take on Ken Block in a slice of motoring Nirvana

Conventional wisdom says that Rally and Formula One fans are two different breeds. One likes sitting on grandstands all weekend, even when rain threatens to cancel the event, the other likes hanging around forests all weekend, even when rain threatens to make the event unwatchable.

But what if there was some way of combining the two disciplines?

Well if the Barbados version of Top Gear live is to be believed, there very definitely is. As part of the motoring experience, organisers pitted 2008 Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton against rally driver and YouTube sensation Ken Block.

The two faced each other on a modified course and, while we won’t tell you who won the race shown in this particular video, we will say that it looks like it was a hell of a lot of fun for everyone involved.
