Ford Returns To Formula Drift, Brings Fiesta ST GIveaway

Gittin02_PalmBeach_croppedTomorrow the 2014 Formula Drift season kicks off on the Streets of Long Beach, and you can bet there will be plenty of familiar faces and cars in the running. After a disappointing end to the 2013 season, both of Ford’s top Mustang drivers, Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Justin Pawlak, are ready to rumble and return the Formula Drift crown to the Blue Oval boys.

Ford is bringing much more to the season opener of the 2014 Formula Drift season though. For one lucky spectator, a trip to a Formula Drift competition could end with a drive home in an all-new Ford Fiesta ST.

JPawlakFormlaDRD107Ford will once again be the official sponsor for Formula Drift, which gives them prime real estate to hawk their latest performance vehicles. And while neither Gittin nor Pawlak will be piloting the new 2015 Mustang around the streets of Long Beach, we would be surprised if the sexy new Mustang didn’t make a cameo performance trackside.

Better yet, Formula Drift fans can enter to win a 2014 Ford Fiesta ST, which packs the hot 1.6 liter EcoBoost engine delivering a zippy 197 horsepower. You can enter to win this hot hatch at any of the Formula Drift competitions, though you won’t see the front-driver doing much drifting on its own…unless they let Vaughn Gittin Jr. behind the wheel, that is.

2014 is going to be a big year for the Ford Mustang, and here’s hoping either Gittin or Pawlak can deliver the Formula Drift crown back to the Blue Oval’s mantle. Look for our recap of the action from Streets of Long Beach early next week.
