Need for Speed SHIFT: Drifting Demo
Need for Speed: SHIFT has put together a great demo video that features Formula DRIFT driver, Vaughn Gittin Jr. in his 2010 Ford Mustang drifting. Check out the realistic drifting action in the video game. Need for Speed: SHIFT drops in September.
Formula DRIFT driver Vaughn Gittin, Jr. will be on WJFK 106.7 FM in Washington DC on Saturday morning
from 8-9 AM and stream live on www.wjfk.com.
Filmer Andy Laputka has put together a great video that compares drifting and action sports through the eyes of professional BMX riders, Chad Kagy and Scotty Cranmer. Formula DRIFT drivers gave these BMX pro’s a shotgun ride along at Wall Speedway during the Round 3: The Gauntlet event weekend and the BMX guys returned the favor by taking them behind the scenes at the local BMX/skate park, The Incline Club.
Formula DRIFT drivers Ryan Tuerck, Vaughn Gittin Jr., Chris Forsberg, and even judge Tony Angelo took up the offer and tested out the foam pit. A comparison was made with Formula DRIFT and drifting being the next action sport…could we possibly see drifting in the X-games?
