About Papadakis Racing
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2021, 2022 and 2015 championship titles with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back-to-back championships with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008.
This season, Fredric Aasbo returns to defend his title in the Rockstar Energy Toyota GR Supra, while Ryan Tuerck also returns to the team to drive the Toyota Corolla hatchback.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport-compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club.

The car is perfect because it isn't. It's not a show car, it's a driver. Man it's so beautiful
Mr. Papadakis has blessed us with another video! When this man talks you just sit down and listen!
Induction noise sounds better than exhaust noise…..fight me. Thanks for the video Steph, I grew up in my parents 1976 Mazda 121 with a twin dcoe fed 2.1L striker MA motor and the sound in this video took me right back to it. I now own the car and it will be getting restored with my boys to continue the car nerd addiction. Thanks for the content mate and please keep it coming, we love it. 👍
Yess love it when people post their backroad drives with raw sound. Also glad to see this beautiful Celica back on KZread.
That intake sound takes me back to the days of my youth and chatting with the guys at TRD when they were in Gardena, CA.
This is really all you need; a neat car with a bit of extra umph and well setup handling. We spend hours on youtube watching reviews and drag tests trying to figure out what the perfect car is for us, when we can make it so simple and not over think and over complicate things.

Yes I agree, also one that will be reliable and easy to work on is also a plus imo.
The sound of dual side draft never gets old. Love the sound!
When that dohc opens up... Pure symphony ✨
The sound of that motor reminds me of being 19. I had a 70 candy green Celica lowered with a 18RG. Use to smoke 5.0 Mustangs all the time. So much fun 😆 🤣 😊
Seeing the Celica take on the canyons is so awesome! Also, that 18R-G engine sound is music to my ears. 😊

What a joy this was! Thank you for sharing
I've been doing Angeles Crest in my s2000 for the past 10 years. It's my way to unplug sometimes. Glad to see you're also driving respectfully out there.
The Toyota celica from the 70's is one of my favorite cars.
2 Papa D uploads in quick succession? Another Festivus miracle!
Ah yes, in those days Toyota had yet to create their own brand-specific design language. That is, they got inspiration from other OEMs and put them through a shrinker. Like the Celica here; it’s like a 7/8th size 1969 Mustang, especially the fastback version!

The notchbacks have almost like a 1st gen Camaro roofline, but the LB version definitely looks like a '69 Mustang.
That Celica is making all the right noises and looking the part! Would love to drive that route one day!
I have no idea why you make these videos, but I'm glad you do. I love it when you show the "creation" of the cars and eventually the cool places you drive to.
God what I wouldn't give to have roads like that. That Celica sounds beast too. Looks like an absolute blast to drive!
steph dropping panties with his window trick
Incredible car man! Love to see and hear it!
Lucky you. Back in the 70’s I would take my 66’ Mustang up to Newcomb’s Ranch, good to see young folks still enjoying the ride.
could listen to this all day!
Love those OG Celicas! Thanks for sharing Stephen! 🎉We have a 2003 Celica GT with 223,000 miles! Still running strong we love it and had it since new and passes smog every year.
Awesome to see a new video on that sweet Celica Stephan! More please.
Beautiful video. Sweet analog car. Can step on the gas a bunch. Blessed with those roads. So humble my dude can't believe people don't freak out seeing you, true legend
Beautiful car! I sure miss my 79 Celica.
Such a good looking car. Thanks for taking us along!
Love to hear the Noise of a proper car!.. thanks for the video.. ❤
What a glorious sounding and looking machine! Thanks for sharing
Glad to see Eric's old car running up and about. As long as I have known Eric I have never seen that car run.... Really glad it's running now
love that sound !
That's a sweet car. When you first floored it, the sound it made reminded me of how my first Mk2 Escort sounded back in the day.. The twin carb setup i'm sure has something to do with that... Was twin Webers for the Escorts.. I miss those days.. Simple fun.. Great video..
It sounds great.
What an amazing car and trip, thank you so much for taking us along!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Nice ride, Steph, and a nice video. Thanks! My wife and I really loved a late '70s Corolla four door that we owned from about '79 to '87. I grew up on American iron, and envisioned the Corolla as a miniature Chevy Nova. It was a blast. Miss it a bunch!
Best sound was the drive away at the end of the video. Amazing
Well done on the longer bits of video with no talking. This car is achingly beautiful and looks like a lot of fun to drive.
Had a -75 Celica, back in the early -80’s, done up on a rally theme. Was awesome on northern Maine logging roads. One of my biggest regrets is having sold it. Thanks for sharing.
I had a 1972 ST with an 18RG back in the 80s. Wish I still had it.
What a tune! The sound AND the performance.
That was awesome brother. Thank You
Looks like such a cool ride! I see you went with a modern look overall. I bet that helps keep it under the radar a bit more. Honestly, of all the youtubers I subscribe to - I definitely wish you uploaded more.
This is so beautiful. That motor sounds so good
Damn Steph!!! After watching this i was in tears seeing ACH 2 and the grunty addictive induction sounds! So much memories up there! Upload more of these weekly or whenever!!!
Very much enjoying this this video. Love the car. Keep pushing the envelope Steph!
Beautiful car, respect from Australia
That motor sounds amazing... brings back memories of driving my 67 Sunbeam Alpine on the Ortega Highway back in '89. Magic stuff. Still have that car...
This Celica is just so gorgeous, looks and sounds excellent 👌
Sounds beautiful ❤
I love it sounds amazing
Sweet sound of raw power & no car nannies when the driver was in full control thanks for sharing
I fell in love with this boy style celica in high school great looking car still today
Love the sound of those carbs, my 20r in my 77 just got some put on, still getting them dialed in, can't wait til I can hit some nice twisty roads like his
sounds awesome! gets me excited to drive mine for the first time!
That thing just looks good from all angles
Sounds real good!😊
Another exceptional episode!
Dude I got 1 now. I remember when Joji would talk about this car. It is super cool to see it back to its glory.
My first car was a 79 Celica GT. I absolutely loved that car & would love to have one again… maybe someday.
That sounds amazing
What a beautiful Celica.
@ 5:35 who’s your daddy! 😝 Excellent as ever mr P. And now down draft carbs finally make sense 👍 Car is perfect 👌🏻
dang I wish I could shift that smooth all the time! What a G!
What a sweet rig!
period correct, what a great car.
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
3:54 the washer nozzles look like an owl. What a bad ass car and that rev up… such a beautiful sound.
Thank you so much! Hello from belarus
I used to have a 1973 Celica that looked almost exactly like that. Black with molded fender flares instead of how his was bolted flares. Had the chin spoiler and trunk lid rear wing. Except my Celica had black 14x7 Enkei mesh rims. It had the 20R swap with dual 44 Mikunis, 11.0:1 pistons, a mild cam, and also had a 4.30 rear end. Tokicos all around on unknown springs. Was bouncy as heck on the freeway. Used to take it out through the Berkeley hills in Nor Cal back in the day after work and just drive it like it was a go kart. Only issue was trying to keep up with traffic on 4.30 gears. I remember clocking 4k rpm at 65mph and the 20R isn't a high revving motor. It's made for low to mid end torque, so redline was like 6.5k and at highway speeds I was pushing this motor close to it's redline. But the 18RG was the motor I always wanted and at the time, this was 15+ years ago, I remember seeing a rebuilt one for $1500 and I thought that was too pricey just for the block and head. No carbs, no intake or exhaust manifold. Now these days, if you're even lucky to find one, $1500 is a steal! I was too young, broke, and couldn't keep up with the car and ended up selling it for $3k back then. That I also regretted as the car is worth a lot today
It was awesome to meet you out at Good Vibes. Thanks for chatting with me about my car (Carrera T) and answering my questions about your car!
Love that celica
Sounds so mint
My first car, never forgotten!
Music to the ears
That car is gorgeous...
love the sound of twin Webbers! What an awesome road. Nice driving too.
Of all your cars Mr.Papadakis this is my favorite❤
Thank you for sharing, I used to be very involved with those engines. Than I got into Sti and evos, now I just watch
Beautiful car and sound 👌
Damn, that Celica looks and sounds awesome.
Such a sweet car. Makes all the right sounds, checks all the right boxes
Great car and great video. Bravo. This reminds me that I need to get my twin carb 4ag corolla running again!
Need more like these
what a good looking Celica! Love the fact that its "used" and not mint in paint etc. epiq! :)
Great vid, thanks for sharing, that is a great car.
Sounds great
Sound is great I cant really tell for long journey I can handle that noise without helmet or earbuds but still when you want that sound this is great
OMG those engines are so hard to come by. AMazing
love that car. so nice.
Every enthusiast needs an old classic to compliment their big power car. Mine is a classic mini and a70 supra! Always a car for any mood and condition
Always loved this body style.
Super!! Dope🙌 JDM Toyota Legend🙌
great car, great road. cant ask for a better day than that. i had the pleasure of driving a 348 spider up there last year. it was incredible.
Welcome back
Neat ride. It'll goes through the canyon pretty good!
Beautiful machine! :)
I love these cars. Kind of reminds me of a Camaro in the shape and especially the rear. The 69-70 Prince Skyline is my all-time favorite classic from the era though.
Fantastic.
Always waiting for more videos from you I don't mind the wait because your videos are always fantastic.
