Robbed of a Win at Formula Drift Atlanta

I was feeling better than ever at Road Atlanta - and was definitely bummed about what happened. I cannot stress enough that I do not fault Field or the judges - but I do think the judging system needs to be changed for calls like this.

You should have gotten that win against Field. I understand why you would rather drive Drift Masters instead of FD now.

I can’t wait to see Chelsea Denofa’s video dissecting the incident because you know he is not going to hold back at all

"Not impactful enough to cause disruption" = 21:41. The Fact that Adam held on to the steering and saved what could have been a major crash is just as amazing as the judges "Final Verdict"

[Rwal]

I love the new rules where youre allowed to just beeline the car straight and cut the corner just to catch up and and you can still win the battle. Everybody wins a trophy!

[wademann]

Field straightened twice in his chase and that was before he even hit you. What a crazy call… but you said it perfectly.

[Coy]

Was a classic FD weekend where Matt Field is crashing people into people to get himself wins, Forsberg is brake checking the chase driver, and the Judges blowing calls.

pausing to say - mike editing the in car footage in right after Jared says "adam makes a mistake" is 900iq lol

[SXSI]

your explanation on the live stream was well worded, especially since you would have still been very emotional, handled perfectly, and offered a solution in the end, great job, lots of respect

[MRMAN]

*I don't follow professional drifting, but I've watched enough to have learned the rules and it's clear the judges decided "LZ only here for one race, Matt is racing for a championship, give him the win"*

[LMGLUDA]

Collette can't hide how pissed she was in the trailer

[ButterBoy]

On a positive note- man. You look mad comfortable in that E36 its crazy

[agoogleuser]

Bro I have no idea how you kept your cool for the interview and said it all perfectly. That was as classy as it gets man, props to you. Should gain you even more fans and maybe FD will consider ending their unfair treatment of you at every single event.

You can clearly see LZ's rear "catch" as he initiates the transition, causing the late flick. This is supported by the in car footage. The announcer keeps emphasizing that LZ isn't supposed to be there and is messing up the points battle. 100% political.

[Greg-TC]

Wow that sucks. I'm very grateful that you handled this as you did. You're setting the kind of example we need

[shaneobrien]

Looks like Adams confidence is growing. Driving getting better and better. Come along way last few years. Keep it up mate. 🤙

[thebot]

Your just out running your own lead run and Field is chowing daisies and rocks, straightens, doesn’t stop, then runs into you twice. Then wins the battle somehow

[TheXshot]

Adam, we welcome you to Europe where (hopefully) this shit doesn't happen.
The fact that they got rid of protesting says enough. FD is dying.

[nzxN]

Bro the outro still gets me every time please please never change the song

[anthonyarcoleo]

Totally agree with you Adam, they had some weird calls this event with collisions. If this continues I feel it will only encourage the chase drivers to hit the lead cars. I get that taps are expected in drifting, but when a car is in transition it is very hard to predict what effects a collision can have on the car. I just cant see how they could have ruled in favor of Matt with the glaring mistakes he had in the chase.

Happy you got some good testing for orlando though, you seem happy and comfortable with the car. An impressive feat for running your own program again. Don't let this get you down, you had a very impressive showing for the cars new "big power" setup. So excited to see how you do in Driftmasters. Chin up and find a way to make the change you want to see to prevent this from happening to others.

I was at the event and you 100% got robbed. My jaw was dropped to the floor when they announced Field got the win. Dude straightened and had a shit line. Bring back protests
