The Monster Falken Mustang goes where no other car has gone before

Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Rob Dyrdek: World's First Skateboard Car

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has made a real great effort in not just pushing drifting to the main spotlight, but Ford's Mustang and his sponsors. It's also no secret that Gittin Jr. is all about skateboarding and teaming up with Rob Dyrdek to make the world's fastest car skateboard park is well... unbelievable. And what better platform than to take his Mustang out for the first test drive of the skate park? Watch the video and check out the official press release after the jump.

WreckedMagazine: Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Road Atlanta

The Monster Mustang goes sideways at Round 2 Formula DRIFT

WreckedMagazine: Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Road Atlanta

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has become the poster child for Mustang drifting.  After a failed attempt with Ken Gushi, Ford has really hit the mark teaming up with Falken Tires and Gittin Jr. in marketing the Mustang to the right crowd.  Gittin's new Mustang took the top podium spot in the season opener at Long Beach and continued to dominate at round two in Road Atlanta only falling short to his Falken Tire teammate, Daijiro Yoshihara in the Nissan S13.

Our friends over at Wrecked Magazine has produced an awesome video highlighting Gittin's action from the event.  Check it out after the jump!

ISIS Performance Goes Driftin'

ISIS Performance teams up with Enjuku Racing and Retaks to build an LS1-powered S14

ISIS Performance Goes Driftin'

ISIS Performance has been making a huge splash on the industry with their high quality performance products at an affordable price.  After years of research and development by teaming up with Enjuku Racing on the track going sideways, ISIS Performance decided it was time to team up with Enjuku Racing to build an S14 and put their proven products back on the professional track.  So the goal was set to build a car at an affordable price that can compete with the pros at a fraction of the cost.  With no huge budget in mind, Enjuku Racing used their years of experience in building cars to guide ISIS Performance on their S14 build.

Rest of the release after the break.

Enjuku Racing S14 Going Driftin'?

Enjuku Racing is back to their old tricks, but who's behind the wheel?

Enjuku Racing S14 Going Driftin'?

Our friends over at Enjuku Racing have been working hard at building their S14 "show car" dedicated to presenting the ISIS Performance product line. The rumor is that they'll be back in action at Road Atlanta with this newly built S14 that looks great, seems exciting and should be interesting to see them back in action. Who will be behind the wheel? Well, we have an idea, but we promised not to tell. But you should stay close to SpeedMotiv for all the newest news on Enjuku's S14 because we'll get to break it first. Check out the start up video after the jump.

Video: Vaughn Gittin Jr. Rocks Formula DRIFT Long Beach

The new Falke Tire / Monster Energy Drink Mustang terrorizes the streets of Long Beach

Video: Vaughn Gittin Jr. Rocks Formula DRIFT Long Beach

Vaughn Gittin Jr. has become one of the most popular Formula DRIFT drivers in the world. His over-the-top personality and crazy driving style has gotten him to the podium time and time again. Over the past few years, he's been campaigning a Ford Mustang with the best of them and has even represented Ford all around the world, drifting a Ford Mustang through Japan. His newest creation, in collaboration with Falken Tire and Monster Energy Drink, is a 2011 Ford Mustang that has already proven to be a winner. With its debut at the season opener in Long Beach, Gittin Jr. took the top podium spot with an overwhelming performance. No Mustang has ever looked smoother, faster and more fluid on the track. Need some persuading? Check out the video after the break.

Coolest Drift Photo Ever?

Ryan Tuerck's Solstice doing a nice little hop!

Coolest Drift Photo Ever?

I was browsing Formula D's blog today and scrolled across this photo.  This past weekend in the heat of Las Vegas, Ryan Tuerck's Solstice caught major air while tandem'ing it out in competition.  Check out their blog for more submissions of the crazy action.  After all the drift events I have ever attended, I regret not being there to capture something like that!

AEM / Rockstar 350Z Spotted in Europe

The old championship vehicle piloted by Tanner Foust has been spotted in Europe

AEM / Rockstar 350Z Spotted in Europe

We spotted photos of Tanner Foust's former AEM / Rockstar Energy Drink 350Z being tested out in Europe.  This car was a two-time champion in the Formula DRIFT series and it's good to see it has not been entirely retired.  It's overseas in Europe currently, but it would be pretty surreal to see it back on the Stateside potentially competing against Foust's new Scion tC.  At least the car is sporting a new look.  One more photo after the jump.

TunerIcons / Import Intelligence 350Z on Fire?!

The freshly built drifting 350Z looks to have its first casualty

TunerIcons / Import Intelligence 350Z on Fire?!

Fresh off its Formula D Long Beach debut, the TunerIcons / Import Intelligence 350Z headed out to the Club Loose Weekend Killer event.  Dan Jenkins shot the event for www.tunerzine.com and as we were sorting through the coverage we ran across these photos of the Z.  It looks like some sort of mishap occurred estting it somewhat ablaze.  The damage seems contained however as the car was right back out tearing up the track sideways shortly after.  Few more photos after the jump.

Justin Pawlak's RX-8

It wasn't out for competition yet, but we got to take a few photos of Pawlak's RX-8

Justin Pawlak's RX-8

There was much anticipation in the debut of the new Bergenholtz Racing RX-8 piloted by Justin Pawlak, but as we all know, Pawlak's back in his FD RX-7 for the Long Beach season opener.  But on display in the Cooper Tires booth was the blue RX-8 sporting Five Axis wheels.  Rumor has it that the Bergenholtz Brothers came up with something new to revolutionize drifting - the only thing we could spot was the unique setup of the wing.  We're not quite sure if this is what everyone is alluding to, but we plan on giving Ron a call soon to catch up with him and the car.  For now enjoy the photos after the jump.
