RTR Mustang Team: Vaughn Gittin Jr’s Future - Larry Chen, Capturing Car Culture - Ep.10

Everyone loves a good underdog story. That brings us to the topic of Vaughn Gittin Jr and his rise to fame in the world of Formula Drift. Back when drifting was no where near the popularity it holds today, you could find Vaughn Gittin Jr. working an IT support job and drifting his S13 Nissan Silva on the weekend, maxing out credit cards, and doing what he could to make it into the sport. In this episode of "Capturing Car Culture," Larry Chen sits down with Vaughn to dive into his past and tell the story of his epic career, why he stepped back from racing, and his role with Ford and the development of the RTR Mustang.

This was a great series, can't wait to see who you find to cover in the next season

[@Shukakuson]

We need an additional video at the end of this series documenting Larry’s perspective on this generations car culture after doing each of these videos. I feel a very reputable member of car culture without being said is Larry and although hosting this series, doesn’t feel right he doesn’t also get his own episode as well. Love the series! ❤

[@patrick9316]

Hit just keep coming. 😊

[@minxbade]

[@dasist9573]
