The series leader, Michael Essa, is out of the event after his car breaks down during a Top 32 battle. The second place points holder, Chris Forsberg, must fight his way to second place or better in order to steal the title from Essa.
    Going up against renowned drivers such as Odi Bakchis and 2012 champion Daigo Saito, can Forsberg claim the trophy or will Essa be victorious?

    Had to rewatch Daigo coming to congratulate Essa, that was an amazing moment.
    So many people wanted Essa to win and I'm glad he did!

    Essa I heard about the story with Luke and Chris. Luke did you a big favor... Your awesome essa hope to see you at all star bash ;)

    GodsNotReal95 sounds silly right. However, there's actually a Clipping Point marker that's a large lit up cone. If you hit the cone you lose points.

  • @Firebert79TA
    @Firebert79TA 11 років тому +3

    Why? So Luke could hurt his transmission more so he could pay even more out of pocket to fix it just to lose for sure in the next round? Parts are expensive and privateers aren't made out of money. I wouldn't pay thousands of dollars just to give Forsberg an undeserved present.

    So excited for Essa, he fucking deserves it. Sucks the motor blew, glad he didn't lose the championship because of it.

    the only v8's in the entire video were Odi's LS and Forsberg's VK Nissan titan V8? maybe the LS is a little played but Daigo's car, Essa's car AND Forsbergs car are far from boring.

    Luke should've put down his lead run instead of giving it to Essa. I guess that's what happens when you put friends before actual competition.

  • @LeeMooEez
    @LeeMooEez 10 місяців тому

    He’s so great that he don’t even need to compete to won the championship 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Nothing boring about an 800 hp VK56 with an 8000 rpm redline. But yeah, LS's are boring.

  • @unwoundsteak17

    crazy to think they tried to accuse Essa of paying off his opponent in the last race
