2010 Formula Drift Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog and pony show to the Middle East: drifting Saudi Arabia in his Ford Mustang.

At the Al Reem Circuit, he puts on a show that would make Ken Block proud. Titled Drifting In The K.S.A, Gittin was given permission to do basically anything around the racetrack, which he takes full advantage of: he first tackles the course grounds in a Boss 302 before bringing out his Monster-liveried Falken Mustang in a cloud of tire smoke.

"Everyone I met, from Princes, to other professional drivers, to swarms of fans, treated me with amazing hospitality and kindness." Said Gittin. "It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and I look forward to coming back to the K.S.A!"

Click the jump to watch the video and to gain terrible ideas on doing this yourself. But as alwaysdon't. Unless you were 2009′s Formula Drift Champion.

Couldn't disagree more. I'm not even a big fan of drifting, but watching someone like Gittin Jr. rip on a Mustang like that is pretty f'ing awesome! I have a lot of respect for those people who can drive like that. Especially in a Mustang!:)

Agreed. It takes some serious skill to control a car with that kind of precision while it has no traction. I still prefer drag racing and road racing - I would probably not even attend a drifting event ever - but I give credit where it's due. And it's a Mustang he's doing it in.

lol @Sneaky.... so car control is gay?

I'd rather the Mustang get MORE involved in drifting so that Ford focuses (no pun intended) on handling (which it's doing better than GM / Dodge).

I plan doing all different types of driving =]
