Shifting Gears with Aaron Kaufman exclusive clip: Top five worst ideas this week

Aaron Kaufman is back in the driver’s seat in Shifting Gears, literally, in this exclusive clip. He’s taking part in one of the top five worst ideas for the week: rally driving without any training.

Aaron Kaufman isn’t afraid of risks and challenges. That’s clear in this week’s Shifting Gears with Aaron Kaufman, as he takes to a rally track with absolutely no training involved. As one of the rally track trainers at Rally Ready points out, it’s one of his top five worst ideas this week and he’s had a lot of bad ideas.

Over the last year, Aaron Kaufman has opened his own custom car building shop and created some beautiful projects. He designed F100 market aftermarket parts and built an International Scout and a Semi-Race Truck. This guy knows what it’s like to live under pressure and always rises to the challenge.

So, it’s not too surprising to see him take on another awesome and challenging experience. His ambitious goal this year is to build a rally car that will race at the Olympus Rally Race. To understand what that means, he needs to experience life in the fast lane and take control of a rally car for the very first time.
