You’ve seen Monster Energy’s BattleDrift and the team’s behind the scenes footage. Now you can check out Liberty Walk’s POV of the tandem drift in question between their own Lamborghini Murciélago and Vaughn Gittin Jr’s Ford Mustang.

Liberty Walk CEO himself Wataru Kato for instance takes us through the initial planning stages for the drift through Japan’s Russian Village, before explain the myriad, logistical ball aches that goes with filming two drift-spec weapons in tandem. Rather him than us…
