The Chase for the Podium – The Nitto Racing Drift Team’s Formula Drift Season Comes to an End
Mike BurroughsAs the 2013 Formula Drift season came to its final event, GSR Autosports driver Michael Essa sat with a sizable points lead. It was abundantly clear that the cards were in his favor – only two other drivers stood a reasonable chance to take home the overall win: Chris Forsberg and Fredric Aasbo, and it was still a long shot for both. Third place, however, was still up for grabs, and the Nitto team still stood a chance to take home a trophy.
If there’s anything cooler than drifting through explosions and flames, it’s jumping a drift car through fire and more. Monster Energy, Ford, Vaughn Gittin Jr, and Nitto Tire have partnered up to produce one hell of a ride. We’re excited to share Fire Drift.
Nitto Racing: The 2013 Formula Drift Team
Mike BurroughsOur talented friends at Yaer Productions have put together a season-launching piece for Nitto Racing and their Formula Drift team. The trio consists of powerhouse Vaughn Gittin Jr, crowd-favorite Matt Powers, and the up-and-coming E46-driving Chelsea Denofa. Yaer’s intro piece beautifully captures some highlights from Round One: The Streets of Long Beach from just a few weeks ago.
