Fd really needs to get their judging together, pretty disappointing seeing some of the calls they make

Like, Formula Drift is lucky to have the teams and drivers they have, since the organization and judges are really poor, 0 consistency, they don't even follow their own rules. In a way, I hope that Clutch Kickers gains enough traction to put FD on their back foot, where maybe will FD will start taking things a bit more seriously.

how that second run with Essa was voted a OMT blows my mind. Essa literally straightened out on the last zone...

If Adam doesn’t choke

I'm all fired up for the 2022 season! I'll be cheering you on from the stands in Atlanta!!

More dissecting drift videos this season?👀

Dayyyum Boyyyy!!!! Your like glue when you drive!!!! Absolutely elite driving my friend 👌. LZ couldn't be in a better place to learn and progress 👍

ah yes, i forgot just how bad that OMT call with Essa was.

Hands down one of the the top 5 drivers out right now. Not just fd but all 4 wheeled motorsports. The way you can command the the car to act right now and the ability to make these rapid fire decisions in the moment is some major skill. Im hoping I can get a chance to drive with you or get an up close point of view at some point this year during one of the events Im sure youll be at. Can't wait for the opportunity, and keep on keeping on sir🤙

Better late than never... Hopefully this is a sign we'll be getting more content from Mr Denofa

Love the content tho man… so pure and real and good footage of the drift scene! Adams content doesn’t even compare to yours drift content wise….. you are killing it man! I hope you get more active

This was my first FD event and I gotta say you guys put on a great show!

Really love these types of videos!! Wish you the best of luck this year hopefully we can get a video like this after each event???🤔🍕🍕🍕

got me all excited then 2min in find out this is old footage

ya I'm worried myself there where to many shit calls last year Adam got robbed at long beach odie got robbed once there where a few others that had very bad calls that I can't remember thank God cause I want to forget last year

I thought FD started cause this video came out. Then I realized Vaughn was driving.

This is a RTR big year brother!! Can’t wait

Love the vid but the flickering at ~ 6:30 is really hurting my eyes. Edit: It happens in most of the slow-mo shots. Would be a good idea to watch out for it in future vids when editing. Thanks!

Those cars are so damn gripped up!! Chelsea is so planted all over the track

That split second of decision making can change any outcome.You did a great job the judging on essa vs you is f but great season.

good luck and have fun this season!

Love this man hopefully 2022 is the year leshgo Chelsea

Best drift content in the scene man!

Crazy how being a .15 second too early can make that much of a difference. No time to blink at all. Good luck this season Chelsea!

Sick stuff, mad control of men over machine.

Omg, what a sick video!!! I loved every second of it! Insane cool camera and editing!!

I can usually see the judges perspective when people call bs on them but there were some inconsistent calls that round

happy i was here to see this in person

that face at the start is goated

Great content!

just realized this was last year lol, dont know how i didnt notice the wrap AND vaughn driving lmao

That’s shitty man, it happens and I’m glad you were kickin ass every run. Hopefully next year, with better cameras for calls from our good friends in the judging booth. Well done man, and can’t wait to see more 🤟

Bring back dissecting rounds of FD

“Oh well” as you park the car after the battle with Matt. I hate hate HATE that feeling, in any competition. Knowing exactly what you did wrong

that second lead run to essa is unmatchable.. speechless

I wish you brought back the Say Howdy Get Rowdy chronicles

I thought my GPU was dying with the screen flickering haha

The editing was next level on this video dude!! Wow

Still gets me chapped with the Essa battle. I mean how many times did you have to win… to win… Still not happy with the Field battle and the zone calls especially. Let alone the failed starts on Field. It is what it is but I certainly did not like the calls at Irwindale at all. So many fans feel the judging was all sorts of fucked this past season. That big ass Toyota trailer rolling with FD didn’t make the fans feel to peachy either. It’s crazy how the Toyota teams had some controversial favorable calls all season too. On top of it all I think it’d be cool to see FD incorporate a fan vote. color cards in the stand red vs blue type deal. Hold up the card to see what the fans think. could do it with promo calendars or whatever.

I know I’m late but your wheel felt dead because the track width like you said. In combination with too little Ackerman & A little Caster ( I doubt too much you’d just feel limited) i think too much scrub radius for the amount of lock. I saw you fighting this at Long Beach.. Your inner tire is “shrinking” into the chassis towards max lock & your outter tire is raising. You’re doing another form of jackknifing you know when you run around a corner too fast & you put your outer leg out to make the corner well you have your inner leg out also 🤦🏾‍♂️. Imagine if you slipped with your outer leg in the process then you’d have to squat further down & bend your inner knee or bust a split before falling forward or backwards. Literally saw it happen. It’s perfect for a bank track like you said… might aswell run negative Ackerman is the point of no return. It would work 😉 you’re at the point of no return @Chelsea Denofa If you want front grip dial back the ackerman & dial your “soft lock” back 5degress it’s for safety & backwards entries only go for big angle mid run if you start the run on a perfect line turd I wanna see ya take this year 🥵😵‍💫

@ProJektCarModz

Only other way to fix it with your unlimited budget is to make the Caster adjustment that’s on a Mantis angle kit, by relocating the lower caster angle pickup point… (Where the knuckle connects to the lower control arm) if desperate.
