Formula DRIFT Irwindale 2024 - PRO, Round 8 - Royal Purple Top 16

Welcome to Formula DRIFT, the Official home of Formula Drift on Youtube. Judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time, Drifting is where Action Sports meet Motorsports, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross.

Cerise on interviews was very good.
Thanks FD for another wild season

1:55:32 The cut to Deane's face lmao

[ahmed]

Almost 50 minutes until the action starts, that was painful to wait through 😂

[davidh]

Delighted for James, massive respect for Aasbo too though, he's an absolute gentleman, win or lose.

[turbonola]

James has the 2nd most charismatic personality of all the drifters this year. Dude is just a wholesome human being as well as an amazing fucking driver.

[nolimitsgolf]

James Deane is 💯% the best drifter ever !! And what a class act Freddy Assbo is 👏

[jacobmangini]

I’m sorry but please bring back real qualifying again I swear the events this year have just felt like 1 big bye run

[codyj]

no podium ceramony for the end of the season? no placement breakdown?? FD has given up lmao

[Luminary_V]

Dean vs. Field was one of the best match ups of the night.

[phoenixsui]

How was dean not winning the first match. In my opinion a big difference in consistency and proximity in chase.

[misteryoung]

1:51:53 bakchis wreck... it hurt my sould ngl

[ThEtEcHnOsAm]

Connor needs to be in that 2nd Mustang.

[lude-N-lopsided]

Aasbo had the cleanest runs all night: the angle he throws riding the banks is crazy, completely steady and so consistent.

[jediwarrior]

Hats off to aasbo wether it was a breakdown or if he just backed down James had it but what a good ending

[sakuraharuno]

I hope James Dean still gonna drive for RTR next year

[TheDCTTR]

Everyone talks about Matt Field hitting everyone and everything, but Tuerck is getting to be just as bad. Hit the wall in practice, hit the wall in Top 32, ran into Forsberg in Top 16, ran into Odi in Great 8.

[FujiRoku]

This drifting is getting in the way of all of these commercials and ads. Serious waste of time

[CrazyCooneyRacing]

The judges have to juggle a lot with what they are looking for. The conpetition is getting so tight that i think the last 2 years has been the most wrecked/ destroyed vehicles. Are the judges asking too much or are the drivers just pushing that hard? Seems like every team has been having issues at some point relating in "asking too much out the car" just curious what others thoughts are?

[eyesopen]

Aasbo should have been at fault. He was sandbagging compared to every other lead car, no smoke in OZ2

[FDMomentumLightsBroke-xtxd]

Great to see these BROKEN momentum lights giving false readings all night again and causing WRONG calls that make a difference!! Aasbo brake checking the same zone twice and getting away with it both times, especially feel bad for Dylan when they make a point to say "the lights are green" when you can CLEARLY see Aasbo never got back on throttle at all!!
