The openness of the drivers about the technical adjustments of the cars makes the competition of a higher quality. It makes all drivers better. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest reasons why Drift Masters is currently the best and highest quality drifting series in the world.
Really nice to see you in Finland, I hope there won't be any technical problems!
Making top notch content in an era of dying car channels being gutted by corporate greed. I love your videos, and all the guys at the shop. It's really honest and fun content. Being Canadian kind of bones your numbers (my wife is a big influencer in a different genre so we know the Canadian struggle) but for what it's worth, we all appreciate and enjoy the stuff you're putting out.
Appreciate it!!
Dying car channels? Which ones? The ones with good content are solid as a rock
@@LuckyFruitRacing All the big faces bailed on Hoonigan a couple months back and the same thing is happening at Donut right now.
@@Joebobinator because the content at Hoonigan ha been terrible for well over 2 years. Donut is the same. They didn't meet what consumers wanted so they started to go under
I'm one of those weird Canadians, I don't give a fig about hockey or drifting. I keep watching because you guys make great content. I hope a year from now I will still have great content to watch from you... even if you waste your talents slipping and sliding around instead of doing race car stuff. Don't stop making great content, don't become another hoonigan or donut... KEEP CORPORATE GREED OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
It's great watching the progress!!!
Rees Marrin did say James Deane is an open book who will tell you everything about his whole setup. Which is typically unusual in America.
Congrats on hitting 30k!!! And the best victories always come after a ton of struggle. It will all come together soon enough!!
Yes! Thank you!
Mate, if you need anything, especially in Finland, you can trust that us, finnish drift fans are doing anything to get you to move forward from qualifying to top32, like you said, we would like to see most toughest battles. So give us a social media heads up if anything, but in any case, you are more than welcome to join us to sauna after Saturday competition!
Thank You💚
We say Races/Drifting is won at home. Meaning in the shop/garage. Our meaning on that is you win with preparation. Sometimes you don't have to be faster/better, you just have to be able to beat the attrition rate that these cars as well as drivers see. Car prep, body prep, mental prep, nutrition, hydration, etc. All goes hand in hand.
I also think the European market sees US drag and oval racing being extremely secretive and think other motor sports are the same. From my experience drifting is the most open motor sport especially when it comes to helping eachother.
Liam from the UK, to be honest Josiah I think you are all great guys and insane fabricators and manufacturers I love watching use group together to solve problem and improve things. Just record and upload don’t think about it to much I would say because I think most people will be here for your personality’s. PS Good luck with the rest of the drift masters season I’m going to try and get to Riga amazing track.
0:45 IMO the issue with drifting in Canada is the Economy.
Drifting is too expensive for most Canadians
Love the content. Can’t wait to see the progress. Tech tip is RamBoard hardwood flooring protection as templates for metal projects. Instead of corrugated cardboard. It stiff enough but malleable.
M54 corvette? Sick!
its all learning. im here for it. FOR SCIENCE!!!

Toronto's weather is actually similar to Massachusets or New Hampshire which is a bit colder than New Jersey or NYC. Both Toronto and New Jersey get cold winters, but in Toronto they are brutally cold, and the springtime and autumn in Jersey is also a bit nicer and warmer by a few degrees.
Avg. High for April:
Toronto - 11.7C
Newark, NJ - 17C
Avg. High for May:
Toronto - 18.8C
Newark, NJ - 22.6C
Avg. High for October:
Toronto - 14.6C
Newark, NJ - 18.9C
So a bit warmer for sure. I live in Sofia, Bulgaria which has a climate similar to NYC and I hate it when I have to work on my car outside in the freezing cold during winter time. It's definitely demotivating especially for high grip drifting. You have 0 motivation to go to the track in the winter so that your car breaks and you have to work on it in the cold. It's much easier to go snow drifting in such conditions as cars will almost never break due to the low amounts of grip, unless you crash them of course. But generally winter time is when people in my area go snow drifting as it is much easier and requires much less prep work. Summer time is when people start going to tracks and events. A lot of these people are from different "scenes". Some of the guys are winter beater only, the others are competition and track oriented only. A lot of people start in winter beaters and then transition into the more serious higher grip scene.
I see that Texas and Florida have a year round drift scene probably because the weather allows for it. You can go to the track in December and not freeze to death there, most of the time.
More tips on anti squat
Love these update videos!
As a Very small new channel you arent lying about the work it takes and how hard it is and like you, I have the team, the characters, equipment and resources. Also from another Genre of motorsports, I would agree 100% with the statement made about winning in the pits vs on track. That is exactly how it is in stock car racing for us.
I've ran both Fdf days at shannonville, Its been great, keep pushing and growing the Canadian scene!!
Awesome! Glad to hear
👌
Been missing the tech Tuesdays!
We will be back with a tip next week!
I’m gonna consider this Josiah’s tip and take my ration with a smile
Tip Tuesday. With FDF front kit, when to adjust swaybar link vs lower strut position, vs spring rate?
I wanna work for you guys so bad I love learning from Josiah I live in Eugene Oregon
love the push for canadian drifting!
Got to keep it growing👍🏻
Been loving the content bud! On the tips one thing I think you could help people understand in a shortish video is Akerman and how it affects how the car drives.
Looking forward to further videos and ordering a mantis kit for my s13 next tax season
Keep it up, your doing amazing, the team will get results soon💯
Thank you!🙏
Good video, keep going with the content...it's good. It was cool meeting you and the team in Valencia 🍊. I've got the impression that your mic might be clipping(going into red), if so a slightly lowered gain would improve that(I've been there). To prevent the focus from hunting(as you're not rocking or moving in and out) ,try to catch and switch to manual more(if you had it at continues AFC).
Thank you for the advice! It is a whole new setup that we are using for the podcast room so we will get it dialled in!
What do you look for when picking a front tire for drifting?
Tip Tuesday, what does Josiah bring to the track/ a smaller competition.
Sweet idea!
6:25 - headphone warning
This comment popped up as I jumped 4 feet in the air from the sound 😂
Idk if its been donebefore for tip tuesday but:
What to bring to a track day. could be for parctise or for a comp.
what to bring or car prep for a dyno session.
Basic things to have around your home for maintenance on your race car.
Good ideas! We have done the dyno video but the rest we will definitely use in future episodes! Thank you
will you be taking on more employees after the expansion
Definitely a possibility.
Bring drifting to Saskatchewan
On our way!
@@FDFraceshop really?
No, sorry. Maybe in the future. We would like to travel around!
@@FDFraceshop haha fair enough... The drift scene is super small here due to the lack of tracks
This video backs up what you are saying about wining on the track…
Fink hit the wall again jack shanahan… john shanahan(jacks dad) repairs finks car so he can out and battle his son with jack about to call a 5 mins rule to give them more time to repair the car if it was needed.
ua-cam.com/video/XuixxowcLos/v-deo.htmlsi=FMIviSTJWTlCyQI0
Even amongst the drift world i think John Shanahan is an outlier. Everything i hear just says the man has a compulsion to fix anything broken in the pits no matter who it is.
Probably housing market in Ontario kills any sort of hobby that takes this kind of financial commitment. Good luck buying a house and having money left over in Ontario or Bc…
