Vaughn Gittin Jr. Says He’ll Be The First To Drift The Nürburgring

So what could top all the Mustang celebrations around the world this week? In a surprising announcement, Ford Performance driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. shared that he would put a unique twist on the ongoing observance this week. The Formula DRIFT star is yet again turning it up a notch this year with the announcement that he will drift the Nürburgring in his Mustang RTR.

I will become the first person ever to drift the entire Nurburgring from behind the wheel of my Ford Mustang RTR. — Vaughn Gittin Jr., Formula DRIFT pro driver

The self-proclaimed Professional Fun-Haver will be the first driver in history to officially drift the entire, 15.2-mile Nürburgring circuit in his 900-plus-horsepower Mustang RTR.

Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s 2018 Mustang RTR was a crowd favorite at this month's Formula DRIFT event at The Streets of Long Beach. And, he has big plans to become the first to drift the historic Nürburgring circuit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

“To help Ford celebrate the Ford Mustang this week, I will become the first person ever to drift the entire Nürburgring from behind the wheel of my Ford Mustang RTR,” Vaughn said. “This has been a longtime dream that is finally coming true, so stay tuned, and we will see you guys soon.”

We are excited to see Vaughn Gittin Jr. tear up the entire stretch of road, nicknamed “The Green Hell,” in a Mustang, and we’ll will bring you all the details as soon as we can.
