Description
In 2005, drifting in America belonged to Japanese drivers in Japanese cars. Then a 24-year-old IT guy from Maryland showed up at Irwindale in a Ford Mustang he’d paid over sticker for, and beat the best drifters in the world at their own game.
In the series finale, James Pumphrey, Vin Anatra and Zach Redpath tell the story of Vaughn Gittin Jr. and how the Mustang became America’s drift car: from Ford backing Vaughn as a factory driver to the launch of RTR, Chelsea DeNofa’s championship, and James “the Machine” Deane’s run to a record fourth and fifth Formula Drift title behind the wheel of a Mustang RTR.
Twenty years later, that drift DNA is in Ford showrooms. Vaughn and Chelsea helped develop the Drift Brake now offered on the Mustang, the Mustang RTR is on sale, co-engineered by Ford and RTR, and the Bronco RTR arrives early next year. https://youtu.be/g3Y4IIPVoc4?si=zfTIn7U1mDUi7mey
