Video: MotoMan Takes Lessons In Drifting From Vaughn Gittin Jr.

If you have a chance to take some drifting lessons from a Formula Drifting champion, you do it! That’s what MotoMan did when he met up with Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Ford’s Michigan Proving Grounds to really test out this 305-HP 2012 V6 Mustang. Vaughn makes it sound super easy and makes it look even easier, although later on in the video they both state how easy it is not! Watch them perform big drift donuts, figure eights, and “J turns” while Vaughn gives the 101 on the sport of drifting. If you’re interested in the sport and could use some useful tips, this episode is for you.

The wise words of Vaughn:

“This car isn’t built to drive sideways, you got to force it to drive sideways.”

If you were wondering why the windshield is full of decals and how these guys see where they are going, it’s because they don’t even use the windshield. The side windows are their guides all of the time. Good to know!
