Vaughn Gittin Jr.

World champion drifter and Professional Fun-Haver, Vaughn Gittin Jr., is best known for his aggressive, foot-to-the-floor, big-smoke driving style from behind the wheel of arguably the most recognizable cars in drifting: the 2023 Monster Energy Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-D. Vaughn’s success on the track has helped grow the RTR Motorsports team into the world’s premiere drift team competing in the highest level of Formula Drift. Since its inception in 2010 RTR Motorsports has won two Formula Drift championships with Vaughn behind the wheel and grown to a two-car team with the addition of Chelsea DeNofa and Adam LZ.

Vaughn currently races in the Ultra4 Racing 4400 class, an insane blend of short-course and endurance off-road race events that fuses high-speed open desert to technical rocky mountain terrain requiring agile and powerful all-wheel drive and a methodical temperament to navigate the extreme courses designed by mother nature. In 2021 Vaughn won his first 4400 Ultra4 Racing Championship competing in his 2021 Ford Bronco 4400 race truck. This was his first season running the second variation of his famed “Brocky” containing an innovative independent front suspension and Ford 460 cubic-inch tall deck D3 JGRE motor, capable of a naturally aspirated 780hp.

It also helps us understand that we need to control the low-pressure area behind the car to maintain this suction.
