Gittin Jr. Is nuts. If you ever get a chance to see him live you should. it looks like he is about to crash at all times. You never see him use the hand brake. He always appears to be on the gas. Even the Japanese guys fear him. Wonderful showmanship. Always fun to watch.
Agree... lots of insides. Good for all kinds of people, from Drifting 101 thru FD Championship... VG Jr its a very skilled and experience driver.. but also you can c why that car its so good!... wow! thats a lot of work .. "very simple BAD ASS Drift Car" .. bad ass video. (y)
Thanks for making such a quality video because many people look down on drifting and ignore the fact that it is a sport! Drifting needs to be looked into more I will start doing more research into drifting so I can make my dreams of becoming a formula drifter come true!
Thought I invented drifting when I was 9 in 1971, with a two ton chevy truck. on ice. guess not. most of my classmates and I drifted our pickups for years growing up. I can do donuts with my 9900 International but not with the triple axle timpte yet....need lots of room for practice. Seems it has really evolved lol
15:29 Exactly that's the truth that's similarly I was introduced into drifting from drifting with a razer electric go kart made for drifting now I am checking out RUclips videos going to do my research save my money and then get a nice car practice at a track cross country then see if I can get into some competitions and enjoy myself while I am drifting! Anything is possible everything starts from the simplest thing!
The American V8's are just so much more reliable and have so much more torque than the Japanese Turbo 4's. It is hard for them to be competitive. After Gittin crushed the Japanese cars in Japan they had to rethink their game plan in America at least. The Rx7's stick with the Rotaries for the most part but they need tons of boast and nitro and a skilled driver to keep up with the American V8's. I miss the old days of not knowing what was under the hood.
i want to start drifting when I get my car thank god I live in California because most of the tracks are here like irwindale I live like a few minutes away
daigo seito's 1000hp JZX100 isent what i call low power. but i get your point american drifting is more torque based and more smoke for show. japanese focus more on the perfect line and technique.
I remember when FormulaDrift was broadcast on Speed Latin America, amazing races/battles/events, now that SpeedLA has been switched to FoxSports3 it sucks. just soccer soccer soccer what a shitty programing.
an awd car is waaaaay easier to control when you weight transfer , besides ken blocks videos are nice but they took several shots to make them he doesnt do it in a fluid one motion shot
+richard mcgregor Wait wait, I love Ken Block, but he only powerslides 4wd, Vaughn Drifts RWD, wich requires a lot of technique, Block is a great showman, but he can't drift.
HAHAHAHA vaughn gitten jr sounds like hes never even seen the drift bible and he fuckin met keiichi tsuchiya and you overspeed into the corner when ebrake drifting so you enter the corner at top speed and yes vaughn gitten jr you are doing a long burnout its not actually a drift

Great video want to see more like it
Very well done episode
That was alot to take in.

In the first clip of him driving, you can see him using the handbrake... He is obviously extremely skilled regardless
AWESOME !

*Awesome.
Nice!!!!!

COVINA BABY I GO EVERY EVENT... DRAG STRIP ALSO

when he talks about the japan when they started drifting he said 1960 -_- even tho its says 1980 on the screen :P
They have changed the rules in Formula Drift for 2013 If you want to know them go to formulad.com to find out.
One of my dreams was to become a drift racer
that orange 350z
DC Shoes dude!
💗
Evan Tomoki
bump bump What? :o

V8's. V8's everywhere.
Interesting
makes sense tho...to keep those revs up ..you never want to go past 4th
@Alec Lyons I thought I was the only one
RWD tons of power, they're pretty much designed for it. It was inevitable.
you don`t need more because of large gearing. you need less gear shifts therefore less gears
a four speed =O
:40 woah, handbrake.
How is it even possible for an American car to go around corners like that!?
For all you people saying he sucks, go win a formula drift series then say he sucks
there sould be a place to drift in your location type in drifting places in "wherever you located" somthing should come up thats near you
If you do not like the sport of drifting there is something wrong with you. Drifting is the best sport ever, hands down.
says drifting was started by people in japan driving fast on mountain roads...later says street racers took notice....lmao.....8
drifting looks like a lot of fun but it sounds expensive
surely you have a sequential gearbox instad of a clutch
it was invented for having fun then went to competition, just like nascar started as moonshine runners being chased by the police.
There was a NASCAR derived engine in the Mustang.....
Fiftycalibur this is old but nope just a normal Windsor based block
these cars are soo different to the drift cars used by the Japanese who do low power low grip drifting
daigo seito's 1000hp JZX100 isent what i call low power. but i get your point american drifting is more torque based and more smoke for show. japanese focus more on the perfect line and technique.
You do realize Daigo Saito showed up in FD with a 1200hp car when everyone was making 800 top lol
Ken Block got style but Griffin got mad skills
so a 3 day event = $13k just in tires
Sounds expensive :v
I wonder what car he drives on a daily bases?
i don´t think so, the drift "worldchampionship" is in fact just a us-championship
Some of the comments on here are unbelievably stupid.
Why would you start out with a Scion Tc??
And someone should seriously bring a wagon to the competition (CTS Wagon?)
gittin vs. block
next time do nascar
And why you need more on drift car!! omg ...
The tires are screaming not the engines really lol :P
what is the car at 0:16?
+Bongalope MaryJane Nissan 370z, unsure of the year.
2007
go to japan compete d1gp
don't even compare the two
What? Are you using Google translate?
Formula Drift is 50 times better than NASCAR!!
I wish there were places to drift... nothing but 2 lane roads round here and cops with nothing to do
I'd drfift Nissan
I remember when FormulaDrift was broadcast on Speed Latin America, amazing races/battles/events, now that SpeedLA has been switched to FoxSports3 it sucks.
just soccer soccer soccer what a shitty programing.
drfift, what is this "drfift" you speak of?
ken block is better
You're actually stupid.
get bent
richard mcgregor no you REALLY are stupid.
an awd car is waaaaay easier to control when you weight transfer , besides ken blocks videos are nice but they took several shots to make them he doesnt do it in a fluid one motion shot
+richard mcgregor Wait wait, I love Ken Block, but he only powerslides 4wd, Vaughn Drifts RWD, wich requires a lot of technique, Block is a great showman, but he can't drift.
they should try FWD drifting
2013 Monster energy Ford Mustang GT car is pretty hot... That's very sucks!
shit would beat a lambo
Interesting video. Well done, but it does get boring after a while. The race engineer may be a star but his accent is hard to understand.
It's just a shame that every drift car in US now has a V8, so they all sound the same...
HAHAHAHA vaughn gitten jr sounds like hes never even seen the drift bible and he fuckin met keiichi tsuchiya and you overspeed into the corner when ebrake drifting so you enter the corner at top speed and yes vaughn gitten jr you are doing a long burnout its not actually a drift
Thank u japanese people
No :( please No Please!
It's so annoying. I'm against putting american v8s in japanese cars...
I hate seeing american v8 muscle cars doing this :(
