If you like Ken Block's (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ken+block/) series of Gymkhana videos (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/gymkhana/), then you'll definitely want to check out Vaughn Gittin Jr's (http://autoblog.com/tag/vaugn gittin jr.) latest flick featuring his Formula Drift Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/). Gittin was recently visiting Saudi Arabia to perform a drifting demo at an event at the Al Reem Circuit, and he decided to stick around for an extra few days to get footage of him drifting on track. The result? Awesome.
Apparently, the track officials pretty much gave Gittin free reign of the entire complex, from the pit lane to the parking lots to the front straight, so the video shows him getting his Mustang sideways in a variety of locations. There's plenty of tire smoke, wonderful sounds from the naturally aspirated 5.4L V8, and even a few smashed rear fenders. Check the video out for yourself after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/07/19/vaughn-gittin-jr-drifts-his-way-through-the-al-reem-circuit/#continued).Continue reading Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifts his way through the Al Reem Circuit (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/19/vaughn-gittin-jr-drifts-his-way-through-the-al-reem-circuit/)
