Written by Steve Turner "It's insane the amount of development, sign-off, and investment Ford does just for a set of springs and dampers," Vaughn enthused. "So, you know, we'd be foolish not to take advantage of that knowledge and development. I think it's a really cool collaboration." While RTR Vehicles still offers its Spec 1, 2, and 3 packages, which offer more styling and performance upgrades, the Series 1 carries that aforementioned Ford backing, while still delivering the kind of performance that puts smiles on faces.

In this video Vaughn Gittin Jr. drives the same Ford Mustang RTR he drifted around the Nurburgring, but this time it’s very green, and yes, the road was closed down for safety thanks to local officials. And yes, there was lots and lots of tire smoke. “Entering a cloverleaf at maximum attack is something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Vaughn...

  A new camera angle makes drifting easier in Forza Motorsport 7, too.

It packs a naturally aspirated Roush-Yates-built V8 that redlines...
