In this video Aaron Losey chats with ‪@144.natehamilton‬ Nate Hamilton from Formula D fame, about his 2023 Toyota GR86 drift car. He just finished his full crazy pro drifting car build, but I have no idea what it is for so I wanted to chat with him about it and find out! We look the car over, chat about it, make some jokes, and relive old times! Please enjoy this video.

    Well the thing is, quick changes were never designed for drifting. It was designed for circle track stuff. Drifting puts a lot of stress on the drivetrain.

    I remember Nate on the XDC series back when he used to do vlogs on Vimeo maybe 12 or more years ago. He was probably the first driver to do it at the time. Great success with his marketing skills, seems like a very likeable guy also so fully deserved in my book 👏

    @@LoneStarDrift I must have missed that interview but thats incredible to hear! Thinking deeper about it, it could be close to 15 years ago as I was just starting drifting myself and wanted to see more of it worldwide. As you know Aaron, it was a time when there was no media like we have now. Those Vimeo vlogs reached all the way over to Ireland back then! It was so cool to see other living that drift lifestyle, long before it became so widely used on this platform in these modern time 👍 love these interviews Aaron, keep it up!

    The whole plan and set nate has created i think is one of the biggest inspirations and moves in drifting of recent I really hope more people are able to forge the same path. Not many people seem to take this approach on the business side outside of competition being the main focus.

    I appreciate Aaron making these, and his questions..but the obvious hater energy really burns me out. Imagine if Aaron was positive, and empowered his interviewees during this, opposed to being a hater, and throwing lowkey shade the whole time. Try to excite and surprise the person being interviewed. I want to wish this was longer, not shorter. (See Tim Ferris or Nardwuar) Much love to Nate and this build..love his approach and mindset with this one..By far one of the most gangster GR’s in the world!

    Do something for the guys like me who are learning to drive, have a car but struggle with starting out. It’s hard for me as a beginner to find places to drive for practice without paying 1000$ for a day of driving without tires. Like E towns 250 for 2 hrs. I’ll drive 3 hrs each way to drive for 2 so to have beginner events to just help us drive and learn w no pressure. A lot more people would try if they knew they had a good place to drive without spending 2 weeks pay for a day of driving.
