Can only improve from here! I looked back on Chelsea's first run with RTR (in 2017) at Long Beach and he spun in the same spot in top 32 on his chase.

Honestly him and Vaughn are probably the biggest things to come from Adam joining RTR. When he ran his own team they were mechanically and technically fantastic, can't fault anything they did but he was lacking other drivers to really coach and mentor him. He was basically having to wing it, figuring out the lines, weak points in his driving and where to focus by himself and that's super hard. I reckon with the experience those two have, especially with how good they are at coaching, he'll see some massive improvement that couldn't have happened otherwise - however I feel about the front fitment on the RTR cars ;)

You’re comparing two different circumstances and entirely different errors, Chelsea was pushing the limit to find how hard he can push, (since he had the win already), Adam on the other hand is different, I get being a fan, but at the same time you have to be real. That’s the only way improvements are made

The FD cars have so much grip my but clenches on every entry to every corner in the in car videos lol

Man I remember watching Adam teach me how to bunny hop bar spin when I was 11 or 12. I’m 20 now and my entire childhood was shaped around Adam’s growth. Slowly leaned more into the car scene as a teen, as he slowly focused on car content. This channels come a long way and I’m beyond stoked to see what’s next.

Considering he’s hit the wall twice in two separate practices and straightened out in first run I wouldn’t say he’s looking better then previous years. I’m all for him but I wouldn’t go to that extent.

He is in a completely different car a completely different set up then the s15 with not as much seat time as he has with the s15 so of course it’s going to be a little rough the first few rounds needs more seat time but will get it. Personally I think he is doing fine with the little amount of seat time he has had to dial in the car and get use to the adjustment of driving a different car.

Tough first outing, but can we talk about how Mike killed it on the video. The slow mo was fire 🔥

You have reached a place most others cannot and it's a joy to be along for the ride, sure you will find other issues along the way but hopefully very few. Keep inspiring people and more importantly have fun.

Hello Adam. Outcome sucks but I know ur gonna come back strong can’t wait for the next comp. Good luck. 👍🏻

Congrats Adam been watching for along time glad to see how far you’ve come

what a team. Vaughn and that crew is amazing. i would say slow down on the vlogging til you get a rhythm going with this team. i know how your nerves can bother you sometimes so keep your eye on the prize

Love that you continue thinking about your run and what you could improve later into the day, keep that positive attitude my man.

I started watching you in the beginning of middle school and I’m now graduated from high school. Seeing your progression through bmx and moving into drifting and now FD let alone for RTR, it’s insanely motivating

Keep your head up, Adam. It's still early in the season. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep trying to get as much experience behind that wheel as possible. You got this, man. Also, I'm really enjoying the podcast so far. Listening to you and TJ now. Already listened to Chelsea and Larry's story. Super dope, man.

Truly successful people dont fail, they just learn what doesnt work! You got this bro!

Thank you Mike the level of video production in this video is insane loved the slo-mo burnout box!!!

Always happy and excited watching you go at something you're passionate and good at. Sky's the limit Adam and its awesome you've got a great network and team that's going to help guide and see you build and grow. Be always cheering for your success!

Ur such a role model to me man. Thank you so much for the content you create. Your such an inspiration to so many people. Thank you so so much for everything.

Love the positivity! Learn from the mistakes and don’t get down on yourself too much. That will be crucial this season! Keep figuring out the car and I’m positive that you will do great this season. Chelsea and Vaughn are also amazing teachers!

Hey just wanted to say I love ur videos man I’ve been watching them for about 3 years and you are an amazing drifter and Ik you didn’t get passed but keep your head up man

I don’t think anyone can truly call themselves a professional; until they have failed but not quit. Thank you Adam, you are showing me that with hard work anything can be accomplished.

Loving the content. Still dying to see that e46 m3 again. Track day some installs. Don't forget about that GEM. GOOD LUCK IN FD YOUR LOOKING COMFORTABLE IN THE RTR MACHINE!

This is one of my favorite videos you have ever posted. Loved the cinematics. Looking forward to the next round.

Loving the mindset. You can see it in your face, you seem like your really learning from the mistake and not just letting it fester in your mind. Keep moving sideways my g.

So pumped for this season of FD! Was awesome watching you the last 2 years progress but the progression you've made since joining rtr is so evident even though the result wasn't what was hoped for. You're already killing it, can't wait to see what the next few events bring!

KEEP MOVING SIDEWAYS!!!! You're killing it you're motivation for alot of us out their keep it going!

Amazing work guys, you all are working so hard. Congratulations adam, That’s one badass RTR!!!

You've said from the get go that you want to learn and progress your driving skill. That's exactly what your doing and RTR is for sure the team to have behind you to do that. Would love to see you on the podium this year. Learning is winning.

You'll do great next round Adam, And like you said just gotta learn from your mistakes. We know your an amazing driver so cant wait to see you shredding again!!

Life is a BLESSING Adam kept the vibes up and learned after his mistake instantly. Set out a plan for the future(THAT DAY) and enjoyed the rest of FDLB. Maaad respect! You are a true inspiration. 🙏🏽🤙🏽prayers to you and your family

You can see the improvement Adam. You are such control of the car. From the inside view your hands look relaxed before they used to be all over the place on transitions. Love the progress

You still have millions of people behind you. Can’t wait for Atlanta. Keep that confidence up and will it into existence! Feed off Vaughn and Chelsea. Best wishes, brother 👍.

I watched your runs on this track from last season and you are light years ahead of where u where last season I think your future with team rtr mustang is very bright and I am so excited to see the progression u make this season

5:02 MY MANS! that run was sickkkk 👌👌

Adam you are a legend!! Never stop learning never stop pushing and never stop having fun!!

Hey Adam, I just want to thank you. You and tj talking about the relationship stuff in your podcast today saved my life.. I was so close.. so thank you for opening up about that

Literally could not wait til FD season and I can’t explain how happy I am!!!

This was beautifully edited. From cinematics to the background audio choices. Very nice all around!

Been watching Adam since he was in college with Bert making pb & j pizza, his bike strapped to the top of his bmw. It’s so cool to see him in my hometown ripping!

Only if you are, then let go of the idea of being the perfect driver. F that pressure stay present and enjoy this moment bruda your living your life perfectly G. You got this in the bag 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

RTR family this year let’s goooo you got this this year Adam ❤️🧡💛

Great honesty. Keep learning and pushing, I'm sure you will be on the podium soon 👍

Like Vaughn said about a season of getting used too the car then next season you should be totally comfortable with the car but still a good effort! As the good old saying goes "Rome weren't build in a day"

your the man LZ, bounce back harder than ever. dont beat yourself up though. you've got what it takes to go all the way. remember that

Keep your head up man! It’s the first event of the year. We all know you have a long way to go but we are rooting for you! You got this man! Prove all the haters wrong 🤘🏼

Great Video Adam! It's a complex change of machinery, you got this dude. Looking forward to the next one in Atlanta!

learning curve. you didnt crash the car and you put up a great lead. looks like you had some good practice sessions in. keep that chin up you got plennnnntty of time to make noise

its all good adam, your learning and honestly after meeting you at ATL last year, this is the big break youve been needing to really meet your goals

Good runs RTR TEAM! And Mike dammit!!! You’re killing it with the shots man

You should be proud, you killed it out there and I am happy you got the great experience under your belt of a second season and that fire that burns now for your next run out in the mustang. Keep killin it and I can’t wait to see you on the next one big dog. 🤙

Honestly supper supper happy with all the progress that’s you’ve have accomplished!!!

Awesome man, definitely looking forward to the future, your still definitely killing it 💯

coming on a long way over the short period you have been drifting keep it up fella, can see you chasing for it in the new car. all the best and enjoy the moment man.

I’m stoked for Adam to be on RTR. Can’t wait for the next round!

it's alot of pressure, but he's been holding it together and making it work, Keep up the good work @Adam and Good Luck📌🔥💯

New things take time to ne learned and learning those things are win for the day. Take your time learn my prayers are with you for next FD.

A positive attitude will get you a long way in life. Keep it up LZed

great driving by all for the first event of the year. hope the season just gets better from here

Bro new car, don't be hard on yourself. Going in and ripping an entirely different setup is what's going to happen. You being a perfectionist and being teamed up with the mac daddy of all knowledge, Denofa, you're only going to go up from here. You looked great and killed it. Vaughn made a great choice.

You did great LZ! Onward and Upward!

Man i cant wait for the day i see you Champion i know its early but you are a lion and lions dont quit, big fan of you from Greece.

I love these drifting vids. Keep up the work.

We all want to see you do good bro, just keep the work up you have the car now. All lights on you g

Adam I'm a newer ups driver and I saw you for like 30 sec @ the compound but was too scared to ask for a picture together lol. The days they put me on your route which isn't often is definitely the highlight of my week. The first time I delivered to you I pulled in and immediately recognized where I was and had a mini heart attack lmaoo.

Talk about owning it! Huge probs to you mate for that! Keep having fun mate and good things will happen!

Again. You looked so good out there. Well done Adam

Keep your head up man , just the first comp of the year . Have faith !

Lol it was cool to see my family in the stands in your video it was awesome watching you in person I wish I could’ve met you in person I’m looking forward to watching you in your career !

Yo loving the ground level slow mo in burnout box. Thanks for sharing

What I love about LZ is that he doesnt give up and he's always consistent and I love it! Keep pushing homie

Adam have been watching on and off since the Bmx days and was re-watching some old videos. So proud that you fixed saying ummm and uhhhhh every 4 seconds. Keep up the good videos.

Super excited to start seeing the new Z and GR Corolla on the street! Also stoked that the Corolla won it's first event!

Mike's shots of the burnout pit are so good. Onto the next round!

It's only up from here Adam 🙌 🙏

Can’t wait to see you and your mustang on the podium! You looks damn good out there 🔥

Damn I've been waiting for you to learn that lesson. Definitely a great thing in time

Doing great things man your killing it !! You have come a long long way from the bmx videos I started watching !

Wataru is a beast! what a great lead lap

love how open Adam is about his mistakes and is so willing to learn from them

It felt like forever waiting to see you in this car in competition but, it was worth the wait🤘

Super proud of you LZ

Watching long Beach FD rounds, I have to say that it takes way more skill than any other Profesional sport by far. FD deserves way more respect than a football player or basketball. Yall got my respect for sure!!! Great job Adam!!!

First time gonna support a KZreadr and went to the site and literally everything out of stock lol im not mad im so happy on how much you have accomplished and doing right now I got to meet the fun haver himself such a great humble guy I hope some merch comes in definitely interested in the ts/sweaters big sweater guy, although yu had a big incident on top 32 yu seem more comfortable with this chassis vs the retired chassis keep doing great 👽🖖

Sorry about that outcome but your positivity and progression are incredible. Great job saving the car!!!

Going through old FD videos and back when you were in pro 1 the announcers after you kept saying you were having “fun” then they replied “here you go vaughn gittin jr, here’s your next sponsor” kinda cool how these things happen!!

Your in-car looks so much more controlled. Smooth steering and less yanking on the hydro!

Aaah drifting, the synchronized swimming of motor sports

Keep pushing bud, and KEEP MOVING SLIDEWAYZ

Idk if I’m just stoned, but this car just looks like it’s a whole nother level from last year. Very excited for this season!

@raionshishi8290

Yea i agree, focusing on his skill and ability is exactly what he needs to do, because these Mustangs are no joke, Vaughn and Chelsea both have shown what it's capable of, so any mistakes and or issue while driving is usually caused by the driver at this point, Adam himself admitted that he has a bad habit that isn't working with this car because it has so much more power than his previous cars. This car is all about balance, it has all the power you need, handling and overall control, Adam simply needs to just learn how to control it. Once he gets it down he won't have much of an issue at all. He can start to really learn how to throw this car around like Chelsea does with insane huge angles and use that benefit of forward bite to save those huge angles and get massive style points for it.

Keep your head up Adam, people don't realise that it's just your 3rd year in FD and your first year in a new chassis. People have such a high expectation for you to perform even knowing that which is weird. But a podium is coming sooner or later for sure!

I’m so proud of you mate your skills are becoming next level hey.
