Formula Drift NJ Was a Wild One. Good, Bad, Ugly, and a Learning Experience
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Personally I have been drifting for 20 years and I have never had a weekend so eye opening. I have spent weekends swapping engines multiple times, showed up at events where if we don't win we don't have money to go to the next round, totaled out my car and crashed or blown up someone else's car, trailer fires, trucks blowing up, etc etc. But I have never had a weekend where drifting has been so many different feelings in one weekend. The weather, the drama, the team, the car, the competitors, and many other things just didn't jive well this weekend and I mostly blame myself for that. I care and love so much about drifting that sometimes I just walked away from the event not understanding what even happened. Im selfishly glad Adam won the event because it's really great to see that best driver on that day actually won. It's actually more rare than you think for this to happen with how complicated this sport has become. Congrats to Adam and the team for making it a Three Peat. I can't wait to experience St. Louis as I have a much different mindset of what Formula Drift is now.

Gotta give it to Adam. It was the first time I've ever seen him so "relaxed" behind the wheel of an RTR. He killed it! As for the flappy bonnet thing. I think it would be worse if you'd be chasing someone lost their bumper and it was flapping behind the car. But that's my inexperienced opinion. Well done to all the boys at RTR.

THIS COMMENT!!!! I commented on Adam’s vlog saying that was why he won, he seemed so happy and was having fun while driving which is very important in my eyes and i think this was a key for him winning.
3 straight for RTR, 3 different drivers too, would be SICK if James wins next round
It’s nice to see every single RTR absolutely shredding this season, just goes to show y’all have a really good crew of people on the team, been an amazing season so far! Now we need Deane to win the next event an have the craziest 4 in a row RTR wins.

Loved seeing you and Deane getting hyped about Adam's top 32 lead run. That thing was a heater and IMO was one of the best lead runs of the night. Could tell he was on one for sure.

Thanks, Chelsea, Even though it was a crappy weekend, it was great to see the support you gave Adam. As for the other, I hope they realize they just opened the floodgates on loose bumpers and panels now becoming a distraction.
I was kind of surprised you and Adam didn't go to an OMT. And if i could don my tinfoil hat for a second, i felt like your Stuke drama may have been a decider.
So happy to see Danger Dan on y'alls team!!

@tdolan500

I wish there was a rule that if you’re in a team you can veto your top 32 battle and essentially drop a position in qualifying to switch bracket sides. By qualifying order you’re picking a harder battle. Fans want to see teams progress through comps. Sucked when Deane and Piotr meet straightway, sucks when the RTR’s go out when they all can make the final 4. Plus it’s an extra incentive for more teams and more factory support if you remove some of the likelihood of losing half your entry in top 32.
RTR as a whole team is doing great. I think you as the lead driver and your input along with Vaughn's leadership with Adam has brought him to this level to finally win in FD.

I'm so exsited to see Adam doing what he is doing I have been watching Adam for like 10 years now and to see this live was amazing congratulations to the rtr team putting it down let's see you guys take a 4th win in a row let's go
Not only is Chelsea the best drifter in the world, he’s the best team mate too. It’s so rad that he’s been LZ’s biggest supporter since the win.
Kind of happy to see Chelsea leave out the drama with Stuke, and call it a learning experience. I do think it was a bitch move on Stuke’s part but imo the track cleared up that drama. Overall, a great event to watch and love all the RTR boys getting the wins!
Haha nice to see you kept the Stuke drama out of the video, they wanted another run and that’s what happened….
Dood you are a class act, this video could’ve been very different but just like your driving you prove that you are a force to be reckoned with! Take it to the top Denofa!! #1
I just love watching Stuke going into the wall, can't get enough of that x'D
You did everything right with the Style situation. Even leaving it out of this video although everyone wants to see it. I'm guessing there's some incentive from Vaughn/RTR not to. I like the professional touch to leave it out, especially since Stuke and crew chose to cross that line deliberately. You got yourself a new supporter from the whole thing and your driving.
Love the team cohesion.
You did great Chelsea but it was Adams time. Yall both did great. Well deserved win for Adam.
Can't wait to see you in St.louis soon buddy! I'm praying you bring home the gold this season bro! I'll be wearing the Stancer Dancer take a chance t-shirt for the pit party hoping I have the oldest Denofa shirt lol so pleaseee ask that question!!

We need a full RTR podium that would be so sick and keep up that work you driving amazing
I love all my RTR boys!!!! Im pumped im so fuc*ing proud of Adam. Keep being the best my friends!!
“Glad to continue to drive fd this year” i pray this man has at least 5 more years n isn’t planning to retire
That re-run was such a heater. So hilarious
You’re a legend Chelsea! You called out some nonsense, led your team to top 16 and championed Adam to victory after he only narrowly beat you. Gracious in defeat and telling Adam at the end to savour his first win showed strong leadership. Keep charging to the top spot in the championship this year and make sure you beat Vaughan at his next round! ❤
Put on an amazing show man definitely a fan after this one “pack your shit in the trailer”😂😂😂
Class act video. Use what happened as a learning experience but don’t dwell on it. Let your driving do the talking my man 👍
You’re beast broham! Respect
You won this event in my mind... you got the championship dude.
Great job RTR! I think that Adam drove to hus pote. He was finally relaxed like he is in the Clutch kicker events. I'm so happy for him and the whole RTR team!
the way adam throws the car into T1 was pure confidence. which is all he needed that weekend.
That’s crazy ngl I had Chelsea winning that vs Adam but both of y’all are legends tho Let’s go boys RTR Mustang out here killing it

What rule?
@kmh4674
Жыл бұрын
There’s a rule that basically states that if somebodies hood comes loose the competitors can cal for a OMT because it affects the quality of the battle. Stuka was obviously beat in that battle and his car was actually flinging bumper at Chelsea while Chelsea was chasing but in the end style called a rebatable because Chelsea’s hood came loose (barely). The rule was alway meant to be for the driver who’s hood came loose to be able to rebatable instead of being dqed because they couldn’t see but style used it as an excuse to try to make up for him being beaten fairly even tho his hood didn’t pop Chelsea’s did and it barely even popped. A bunch of drama on the grid ensued including Chelsea telling Stuke’s team to “pack their shit in the trailer” which I think would be the coolest FD merch ever made because the very next run Stuke crashed anyway while Chelsea left him in the dust. Stuke’s a pussy.

it was 50/50 whether they'd call it OMT given the "mistakes" from both of them but it was really going to come down to whether or not they were going to say Adam going off was his fault or if it was caused by Chelsea's line into outer zone 2, stuff happens. either way it was an exciting match up but also unlucky that all 3 of them were on the right side of the bracket.

FD needs to do a hard look at the venues they run. Keep Atlanta, Utah(theres a better line if they put an outter before the last outter zone for big sweeping transitions), Irwindale and Long Beach. Throw the rest in the trash. There’s plenty of road courses that make faster action than lame tracks like Englishtown. It would be exciting if it were 2008.

Bro gonna be running 6 hood pins out of spite 😂
I think since James came he made few changes to cars and that's showing here and there
Adam LZ packed me in the trailer. No homo
Quali run - green g-lights right after beginning of OZ2. Lead re-run with Stuke - red g-lights whole beginning OZ2 till dragstrip pavement. Stuke's team made bad call about protest - for sure. But this lead was for me even "worse" when we are talking about sportsmanship...
You know there's something to be said about what ford is doing in competition to make Chelsea actually a kind of a ford guy now
Nice to see adam doesnt pull a matt field when he is hit
Are you open to sharing some of the things you learned about FD that you’re viewing as different going into the next round? Not trying to pry for drama i’m just trying to nerd out on technicals and philosophy driving wise or whatever
