Our Best Formula Drift Start In Years!

Incredible weekend for the RTR Vehicles Drift Team to start the 2035 @formuladrift season! @JamesDeane130 picked up where he left off killing it run after run and Ben tossed the monkey off his back and earned his first PRO Top 16 appearence!! So stoked to to be leaving Long Beach with both in the top 10 in points and join them in Atlanta!

Ben has really levelled up this year. I was very impressed with his driving throughout the weekend. People forget the fact that he's still young and learning. He will be on the podium sooner rather than later

So awesome to see Ben make top 16. Like you said, he is a whole different driver compared to last year. RTR is off to a great start for the 2025 season, keep it up guys!

It is a delight to see how Ben drove at LB. He’s more comfortable and relaxed than last year. So happy for Ben!!!James - he’s a legend overall!
Stay humble, keep it rocking and keep it rowdy!

You and your team will do well at FD 2025. Let's go RTR

[oregonpitbull]

Very proud of the progress Ben has made. I predict he'll be able to get to that podium this year

This is going to be such a great year. Ben looks so good and James looks great as usual.

Ben looked killer!! I believe someone said its the Monaco of drifting

Seeding 16 is stacked for Atlanta. Hurst, Noback, Shanahan, Daigo, Olsen, Vaughn. Is Rome in it too? Dunno. Hopefully Vaughn progresses and avoids meeting James in top32 (again)😀Boy there are very few easy ''gimmees'' this year. Best of luck RTR. Vaughn V James in the final would be epic, Ben podium.

I got a feeling Ben is going to do well in Atlanta because he has been there in pro spec

Adam went under Vaughn wings for a full season and a half season and now Adam is doing phenomenal Vaughn said that once Ben is comfortable he’s gonna crush it in FD he killed it in Long Beach .Vaughn really knows how to unlock a drive through potential it’s amazing to see 🎉🙌🏻🙌🏻Top tier leadership qualities from the boss man

[djwilliams]

Vaughn is laying it out directly and honestly across all issues.. Respect..

[irislaevigata_v]

It was a fun weekend with many exciting RTR team battles from seeding 16!
We'll be watching RTR again this year 💪.

You could just feel the increased confidence through the screen watching Ben on the live stream.

[bigmikepimp]

So stoked on james and Ben. But please can you come back full time

[xdboardsurfer]

James was untouchable the entire round.. except for one mistake in the very last run that cost him everything. That hurt!

[ryanwarner]

Team looked good. Can’t wait to come to Atlanta and cheer you guys on. Let’s go win another championship

[adamreynolds]

Love seeing the boss drive Atlanta , one of the best track to watch fd

[lunchbox]

Youre a real good dude brother you always lead bye example. The team is crushing it.

[zeph]

Ben is going to be a monster. His first win is going to be dominant!!

[oloferiksson]

Im so happy to hear how you talk about this Vaughn, both about how Ben stepped it up (or maybe just let it go, and had fun?) and how you talk about the battles where even if you had a slightly different opinion you can see the reason for the calls, accept them and see that there are clear details to work on. That is very important to me personally for reasons, just wanted you to know

Thank you for bringing the show. Even though Freddy is my guy I was certain that James would win the event as he came into this round with a precision tool tailored for the job and showed it by being consistently awesome from first run
