How much does it REALLY COST to be a Pro Drifter?
How much does it cost to compete as a pro drifter? This year Josh entered the pro class of the Irish Drift Championship in the Nascar engined Nissan Silvia S13 we picked up earlier this year. When you add the fuel, tyres, damage and entries, is it affordable to compete at the top level? We would love to hear your thoughts on this and do you think it's good value to compete at this level?

Hold up! Are we really going to hide the best competitive driving Josh has ever done and the most laps he's successfully completed in a competition as being a maths video? That shot of you just skimming the wall was epic.

He has defo improved a lot hasn't he, I'm afraid to say because he loved the car but that the we mx5 with the sr setup was holding josh back an lot!
You are ripping it in the lowbrainer Josh!!! No Need to be nervous on Qualifying ❤

thats what im saying💯 1# KZread channel out there. look forward to there videos Dave, Josh the whole crew is solid, Mad props & love too all of them. Just to see what they have went threw and what there overcoming and still keepin it 💯 threw it all🔥! Keep the vidz comin boizzz.👌
That door dive on the first chase for Josh was sick! Having a car you haven't poured your soul into is really unlocking you man. So proud of you!
Sumup off the Drift Games Journey: "Get slapped, hit the ground, get back up and come back way stronger". You guys are a true Inspiration and one off the best examples what the spirit off drifting is all about!
To see you guys in action is something else. Loving watching the channel progress. As someone intefested in Contemt creation, would love to see a couple of vids of your work flow and how you produce the quality content so fast. Its brilliant to watch
Your content is fresh, keep it going!
Legends , keep up the great work. I'm struggling at the moment and your videos always distract and uplift me out of my own head. ❤

Wayne is a laugh, good Irish humour 😂
@Josh looks very comfortable in the new whip. So good to actually see how well he controls the car opposed to the mx5's. Just goes to show just how much they were holding him back. Get in there Josh 🤙🏻.
i LOVE how everyone came together to get the car back out as fast as possible !! 🤘🖤🤘
This is turning into my favorite channel along with Adam Lz And Jimmy Oakes 🤘❤️
Freaking killin it guys! I love the good sportsmanship. If you can't be ok with losing, you won't get better!
The amount of set backs you fellas have had in the last few months but just keep bouncing back and keep throwing punches is incredible to see you keep killing it lads and keep up the hard work
Great to see josh getting great seat time and well capable of a podium fair play guys keep up the hard work serious driving👌👌
Great to see what it actually costs! Now all I need to be able to figure out is how things are scored at a drift event!
I’d imagine factoring in a 4x4 or van plus a car transporter,a pro spec car a workshop to enable work on said car and your easily up the guts of €100,000…..the €2000 a weekend event costs on top of that without sponsorship and a top notch day job you’re in bother😄 You only live once though so you may as well enjoy what you love👌🏻😉
Love you guys. Makes me happy to see you guys enjoying yourself again
Josh driving is all the story your video needs, thanks for the info but we just want to see josh and all of you guys do more drifting, especially tandem together!
One of your best videos in a long time. Not just gratuitous use of money, but a informative and interesting video about drifting costs.
Well done Josh, you have a great team behind you, no money can pay for lads like that,
I literally had a comment typed out about seeing the wheel move funny in his first qualifying and then it fully broke 😬 haven’t watched the rest of the video yet but keep up the good work lads!! Content is top tier and so is the driving!!
AMAZING drifting Josh, you and that machine are in sync. Can't wait to see more! 😎👌🏼
retiring the NC was the best decision Josh couldve made. It was cool tbf, but nothing but issues. the ps13 is already much more reliable, not constantly having low oil pressure haha

U freaking killing it in the lowbrain Josh, i cannot wait to watch u win your first comp!!!
Josh from one to another, damn your driving is getting so good and this car is the fit man! Making it look so good and the videos are top quality! that battle win baby never give up!
Awesome video yet again Josh and Lucas you lads are just surrounded by the best of people,hats off to Wayne he truly is a legend with how much he’s helping the drift games crew when ye really need it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼
Well done Josh and the whole team you are on the right path, maybe you could do a video on the cost of a beginners day drifting with a stock car?.
It all costs money just doing a cheap test day is still loads of money. Great video as all ways guys and well done Josh !!
Brilliant video. Many thanks for the cost breakdown, was definitely very helpful and insightful! Also, very nice driving out there - can see you are getting nice and comfy with that car now.
Jotch is surprisingly good at drifting
Something about this documentary style for events that is a pleasure to watch
I’m glad you can teach and take tough breaks take the positive out of it.
Josh is killing it in the new ride looking good man keep it up ❤🔥💯💪🏼
Way to go, Josh, our name rules. Good job way to progress even with the car issue. And I thought the price of the car scared me away.
Love the Video and its so nice to See that you are making good improvements. But where do you put the tires after the Event?😂
Killer vid.thx Josh.Did well Sir........ The add up total is what I earn in 2 months.....So sadly i will never get to enter or do a drift comp....even building a car that can, I will never have that budget here in South Africa. Thx again for the vid
Great driving Josh! You looked comfortable in there.
here in the states we have a saying you might not have heard over there, its smiles per gallon not miles per gallon. if you enjoyed it its worth it.

13:13 That „Run ma‘fukka run“ killed me 😅😅😅 insane effort from the shopcrew and your friends there to eventually save the weekend 🔥🔥🤌🏽 Edit: amazing first battle then from Josh! The hard work has paid off 🔥
Probably worth looking at reinforcing the rear subframe if it was the torque that broke the subframe.
#TEAMJOSH ... now shut up and drive. Be happy and thankful Josh, your living a dream. We ❤ U.
wayne to the resque ;) he needs a mechanics van with welder and equipment to bring to tracks :D
Awesome video and great effort Josh really starting to throw that car around 👌 very cool getting an inside into what it all costs too. My question is what is the reward if you win a single event? How many events would one podium get you 🤔✌️

Nothing close to the cost 🙈
You can see the wheel wobble in the first run as well
in belgium we only have wet events so im using a set of tires over 2 events with 200 hp max , and im doing only 4 to 5 events a year. for the youtubes i can understand why u guys do this BUT for people having a normal job its still doable to have fun get some doors and not get into debt xD. i wish i had budget to do this at this level tho. one love
Holy SH*T Josh Loooks Great in the Drift Games Low Brain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go on Josh! What a cracking bunch of lads round about you to just trailer the car to the shed weld up the subframe and back to smashing it 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Keep rocking on!🎉🎉🎉
Just for the guys state side, that follow that $2137.97 USD for 1 event , being i race state side that pretty much dead on what i spend per event aswell give or take 100 bucks for fuel depending ontl the state the event is in if we dont bring our own fuel
Ole boys sendin it
A lot dearer than I thought! I spent 2k on flights & accommodation in Dubai for 2 weeks 😂 Some thrill though 🙌
Josh is wild driver 🔥
Well done Josh!!!👏👏👏👏
What about the wear and tear on the engine and driveline, rebuild each x number of events etc
Keep up the content
Drifting is cheap when you start, goes downhill from there The one thing I miss is meeting new people, when your car has an issue or someone else’s does, random people will show up and help you
So I spend $2500-$2700 (depending on crew that week), up to 25 times a year (usually around 20) and that's just to show up and not counting any maintenance or Equipment costs. That is to run at a local track, that has 20-30 cars in just our class, and there are up to 8 classes (usually 6-7). Every week I can go to any of 5 different tracks within 2 hours and more tracks if you go a little further. That's for a regular grass roots Late Model Stock.

8.39 watch the wheel go crazy and bend or twist or jar that looked like it was badly broken or cracked or only 2 nuts on one side
Why didn't Dave say the torque twisted the chassis off the line
Proud of josh.
West lakes are good tires I always ran them I used to get myn from Ireland off Christie as coodnt find them in London
Where can i get these westlakes at?
If your watching the vidéo pls put a 👍 those guys deserve it so mutch Big up Drift Games ❤
