Formula DRIFT Long Beach 2024 - PRO, Round 1 - Top 32

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.

It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten chills watching a driver but Conner is one hell of a driver

[henrym]

Here's what I noticed:
• Minowa is actually good. At 14 years young.
• Love how Sorensen is so chill while drifting.
• Taguchi showing why he's a madman with that run.
• Ken v Wang, Forrest was shallow on the first two zones, Compared to Ken, who was shallow on the third zone only.
•Field v Higa, I take back what I said, Higa actually put up a fight. Good effort to them both.
•Olsen looks more confident now that he's in his second year with that S15.
•RCP with a clutch repair job tho.
•Tuerck moving back to a 2JZ seems to be a good move, providing even more power.
•Shanahan hype is actually real. He actually walks the walk.

38:53 “his husband 😅 not his husband” I openly laughed out loud in the grocery store 😂😂

Ken Gushi vs Forrest Wang - I think Forrest did a strong lead run and Gushi's chase was very poor. Gushi's lead run was not as good as Forrest's. Meanwhile Forrest did quite alright chase. Forrest L- 9/10. C-7/10. Gushi. L-8/10. C-6/10 I would have given that battle to Forrest

Love the Cadi XLR. It's basically a C6 corvette from the factory. Just has a different body, and a few parts that are Cadillac specific. But it's a corvette chassis

22:00 It's so nice being able to hear the car and not have Deanda screaming the whole run. Just let us hear the cars some more!

[Barry.ONeill]

Please let them tie the roll cage into the strut towers and rear subframe mounts so they dont have to drift bent cars and weaked cars after they are pulled straight

[Amateurstrongman]

I was really scared the judges would give that first run to Hughes cus of the "good ol boy favor the ones who we like" attitude FD has. Glad they saw reason and gave it to Minowa.

His proximity in OZ 1 was better on chase, he filled the zones better on lead, and Hughes hit the wall so hard he straightened on chase. If they'd given it to Hughes it would have been an outrage

[wademann]

If Adam didn’t have that mistake on his chase. Lead to lead, his run was much better than Chris’s 🔥🔥🔥

[lofighost]

Federico just cant seem to get to grips with that ferrari but kudos to him for not giving up on it

[danielquinn]

james is the best driver in that line up

[andreiabunan]

I love how the camera captures every front end angle

[itsryanbrah]

Bro James Deanes car actually looks better with that much black

[drchaossphd]

Im super bummed i'll miss Seattle. I live super close and scheduling keeps me away every year

[roberttyler]

I'd say shanahan debedded before the contact and was spinning out in the tuerek battle. Lucky call

[henry]

I dont understand ppl hating on Higa cuz he has fans? lmfao

[dlt]

I feel that aasbos decel in a non decel zone is what caused rad dan to spin. That really should have been investigated.

[joaoarmandowiteck]

Queria que o Higa ganhasse, mas com o spam do chat mudei de ideia.

[tholmesy]

Whats with the new rules you can drive straight half the track and not get zero??? They used to give a zero for thinking of going straight. One extreme to the next

[jasonpickens]

29:38 No, Dylan won't be in seeding next round. Lowest he can finish is 24th and that's if all top 8 drivers loose. Being top 8 secures at least 2 rounds of getting locked in.
