Went into this season feeling SO much better about the car/program. We had some dialing in to do - and some track learning on my part - but overall we’re extremely happy with the outcome! LZMFG.com
Adam stop reading the comments in the live stream!! Focus on what you need to do! You have enough in your mind when your driving, you don’t need the haters! I bet 95% of the people watching want to see you do good and see you improve! The haters are just jealous that they don’t get to do what you do! 😎
The haters call the fans toxic, but I my opinion they're the toxic ones, saying he doesn't belong here and that's he's over hyped etc etc. Us fans are just super happy with his achievements and show our support in chat
You know, the really big fans of LZ are ruining it for everyone. You don't just go and spam LZ everywhere. Like why would you spam it during other drivers battles or qualifying runs? It's like saying you're a Patriot fan at a Broncos VS Saints game or for the non-Americans, cheering for Barcelona when it's a Liverpool vs Real Madrid game (I don't follow Football/Soccer so don't blame me if those two team would ever play) Do you see the problem with that? When it becomes a habit, it becomes a problem, and that's why the majority of non LZ fans hate LZ for not controlling his fans and saying it's not ok. Look at any other sport or team and you don't see this behavior.
@@TienTran-kw3il you must not watch sports or ever gone to an event. That’s what happens throughout the whole game. Shitalking and cheering. Fans and the fans of the other team(hatersj
@@carlooooo0 Yeah it happen when it’s team VS team. There’s NEVER a third party (LZ in this case). Before qualifying or battle then go ahead spam LZ. IDGAF. But during a qualifying or battle keep it until LZ goes. If it was a large grouping of cars going at it like F1 then the LZ spam makes sense. But here it doesn’t
Really sucks for Federico, he’s a great driver but seems like he never really got too good with his ferrari drift car. Especially during FD last year and I think the year prior he was having tons of problems with the car, at one point catching fire :/
@@mazda_miata_ if I remember right his first run in his first FD comp he understeered off the track on the first corner and the car caught fire, that’s what you get for drifting a Ferrari haha
@@Mr_jz_12 I agree even tho it’s being livestream which will bring the quality down. The European Drift Championship have RedBull to take care of their camera work and it’s miles better even the drone quality it’s better.
@@Donnie_21 Seen heaps of events with good quality footage. There is no excuse for fds quality. I actually thought it could have been youtube dropping the res, but was exactly the same on twitch etc.
I can’t see why people hate on Adam, he’s out here having fun, simply entertaining us and himself. We’re all just to cheer him on! The internet ruined everything.
Because people are jealous that someone as successful as Adam is just being genuine and enjoying himself. They wish *they* could be in FD instead of him. They're upset that someone was able to more easily propel their FD career because of a business that they had started from the ground up a decade ago.
I just want to say that the FD livestream chat was the MOST toxic thing I have ever witnessed. Haters were disgusting especially when bringing up Adam's ex and stuff... And FD mods did nothing about it, going as far as banning LZ stans instead. FD should be so lucky to get this kind of exposure for their event sponsors...
I was like this last year it got so bad that I turned off the chat, ive been watching fd livestreams for a long time now and it's never been like this!!
@@zaclo8480 I don’t care about your 2 cents, your just another negative person, I’m sure you go to events hoping for crashes... it was a observation and compliment to them, that is all.. you and d d should go circle jerk together
u mean the unchaseable run lmao. U shouldnt be doing backies in your lead runs. Castro should of gotten the win on that one. Adam had a decent chase BECAUSE the lead was decent. u cant have a good chase if the lead is inconsistent and not even close to an inner clip. I dont think he done it on purpose but his car is a literal death trap. Of course n one really knows whats happening behind the scenes but this car has never really been ready for comp. always issues with it powersteering being the main one. One of these events that car is going to be involved in a pretty serious crash. It was a pretty close call with odi. Its just a dangerous car to be around. Also the way this car self steers and snaps to angle when touching the handbrake is strange but i aint no mechanic. Honestly it wouldnt surprise me if he changes chassis to a bmw. 36 46 or even an e92 eurofighter. Last thing pat ages ago said this car handles like a piece of shit. So i wonder if they actually changed anything to improve self steer etc.
@@joesmalley7305 If that's the case, then Adam should have won when Odi went slow into the first turn. Because Odi unexpectedly slowed down a ton during transition into the first turn, no?
@@DarkSwordsman well i Think it is a decel Zone so the chase driver should be aware of that. The problem with adams entry is that he completely missed inner clip 2 because of the massive angle and the correction he had to make. So castro had to back off and later catch Adam and therefore compromising his follow run. But I could be wrong!
@@DarkSwordsman lmao no ITS A DECEL ZONE u go any faster than that then you will have little side bite and washing straight into the kitty litter. and hes on throttle before the first inner which is what the judges asked. There was nothing wrong with the initiation and decel. Adam just lunged forward as there was a decently sized gap and therefore had wayy too much weight transfered which resulted in the crash. ANDD even if odi wasnt there adam would of gone straight into the kitty litter so he would of lost due to a 0 in the chase. This track is also just junk for tandems and you can clearly see drivers not knowing how much speed to carry and when to transition. But FD wont drop it because they hate change and has been the same thing since 2004. EU events blow this shit out of the water in quality and entertainment
@@joesmalley7305 so I actually watched the track layout and it is now called a “momentum zone” so the drivers can maintain their speed or slow down a bit or even accelerate I think? I guess Adam thought they were going slower and that odi wouldn’t slow down more. Easy to get speed blind when racing at fast tracks. Over all a great effort from Adam!
I’m genuinely convinced the only reason people complain about you in fd is because they think you don’t have enough years under your belt and that you “cheated” or “bought” your way to a license. Yeah you’ve still got work to do but like I’d like to see the average hater place in the top 15 in their rookie year😂
Adam has improved soo much as a driver. His whole perspective and approach is completely different from where he started. I can’t wait for next season considering how much more he has as his disposal.
no kidding.... honestly i dont think youll find a higher quality level of film production in a daily vlog anywhere else on youtube. this is easily film grade cinematography in a daily vlog... some of these shots blow my mind. if this continues on for another few years, could easily see a major network doing a follow along with adam for a little mini series--- netflix miniseries on FD following adam and maybe a few other drivers. could see that doing pretty well--- someone in adams camp or teh FD camp should be pitching it if it were up to me. netflix would probably put up a few mil if they could find some auto ad rev to fund it. adam needs to get on board with a some bigger sponsors to bring in more funding, but i totally understand the slower long play trying to keep lzmfg a priority
been watching for the past 10 years, glad to see your progression never slows down and you come out better and better every year from getting sponsored in biking running a business well in collage getting into drifting to pro level and then formula drift with every year coming in harder and stronger and the time and dedication is there. now thats a man i can truly look up to and respect keep it up my man
"Even tho I might be the worse driver here, I still feel 50 times better than last time" wow Adam don't keep that in mind, no ones perfect no ones bad it's all about how you feel in the moment or during the moment.
That's what I'm saying man I noticed when he gets down on himself he makes a lot of mistakes he has to go and have fun and if he wins he wins that's the problem he puts a lot of pressure on himself he's a damn good driver and even better person and he's got a lot of support
#27 in FD but #1 in our hearts! You did awesome man and you showed it. Haters will hate but put them in your shoes and they wouldn't even be able to make the first turn. You progress every time you go out and it shows!
So proud of the team for this. We are in the process of watching him improve. All the mistakes he made is just him stepping outside of his comfort zone. Good shit.
Its amazing to be able to watch FD, then just 2 days later have a polished documentary with in car and behind the scenes video of the same event! What Adam has going on here is something special, and I am loving every minute of it! Sheesh!
Hell yeah Adam! You don't learn if you don't try. The hella best part is you always make strides and improve by leaps and bounds from incidents and opportunities like these. You're killing it, keep it up dude.
@@edugamer950 of course brother, I'm just trying to be complimentary and helpful. It kinda almost hurt to hear him say he was watching the livestream chat. I watch every event, and I NEVER take place in the chat or the banter. I just felt he needed some drift love in that moment, so I was sendin' it.
The intro to this video hits something different. Good job on paying homage to the roots as you continue huge developments towards current goals. Keep KILLING it man!
I’ve been watching your videos for a solid six years now and honestly it is crazy to see how mutch you have approved in making videos. The quality is just amazing Adam I hope you will make lot’s more of them
@@LukeCannotSkate Really? If he lost control, he would've completely spun out instead of catching it like he did. Even if it wasn't intentional, he still controlled it and made it to the finish line without spinning out. Also, I don't understand how FD is judged sometimes. Adam literally smacked the post and went through the dirt AND HE DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL yet he still gets a deduction for that? If he was able to go through the dirt without losing it, I think he should get bonus points.
@@naturelovr403 Yeah he caught it and avoided spinning but cut the line through the last turn. It wasn't a bad mistake but that wasn't planned either. If you drop wheels you don't follow the set line which is key for maximum points. It's about being clean and consistent. Crazy angles are worth nothing without a smooth line and consistent speed
Sometimes people just don’t understand that just because you cant do something doesnt mean someone else can, Seems like FD “fans” are just mad that you have done so much in so little time but don’t actually know your hustle. We are really proud of you Mr.LZ
seeing people hate on adam is the saddest and most frustrating thing. adam is one of the best people i have ever come across and such and so inspiring. love for adam man! you're killing it in FD!! also remember that 98% of the chat is there to root for you!!
@@MuhammadAli-ff6il yeah there were a ton of people saying he shouldn’t be there, he bought his license, he sucks, he has no talent, etc. bunch of idiots lmao
adam, i love you brother. Your interviews are spot on how you feel, not how you want people to see you. Respect to you and your team, great work and always have room to improve
Great driving man, you’re living all of our car dreams for us. Love how humble you are, that first turn had me nervous af everytime just from watching😂 cant even begin to imagine how it feels being behind the wheel during that first drift😂 love the content, keep it up champ
Great work Adam, you're always looking to solve the problem either the car or your driving, that the path of a great driver. Keep doing the hard yards and the wins will come!
Man I still remember your vlogs here in the crowd... Great to have high expectations of yourself but look how far you've come and still so much growing space
Please never stop making such amazing content guys, this video just pulled me out of one hell of a mental breakdown so thank you Adam, thank you to the entire crew just thank you all
Adam don’t worry bout what people have to say man ur a amazing driver and a super humble man. I’m 15 and I wanna be where ur at when I’m older. Ur a huge inspiration much love man keep the good shit up ❤️🙏
@@onlygamer1238 people are pretty much just trash talking him because he is popular. They criticize every mistake because he is so new to FD and they don’t like him
Good job my guy I was so excited watching that castro run, it's so crazy to me that 5 years ago I subscribed to my favorite bmx rider and now you are in my favorite sport going up against absolute legends. Keep it up :)
I just watched the fd livestream and I have to admit, the "fans" are so toxic to Adam and his fanbase. It's sad that they're supportive for everyone else but Adam.
What do you expect. Go read the chat when its anyone elses run. Even when Adam smashed into the side of Odi there were adam fanboys trying to say it's Odis fault for not going fast enough. And even when Adams run until the end, all adamlz fanboys seem to spam is "has adam gone yet" "did adam win" etc rather than actually watching the stream/rewinding lmao. I support Adam but I stay out of chat
@@Jxrd99 yeah agreed. The “Haters” dint actually hate Adam I don’t think. They hate his fans blaming everyone but Adam lol. Honestly would be best if they put on like a 5 minute slow down or maybe put the chat on members only (that would generate them good revenue as well)
@@Jxrd99 that's where I try and separate myself from the "fanboys" I have followed fd since before adams pro2 debut and I like other drivers just as much as Adam. I knew Adam messed up in the odie incident
Bro Adam is in a weird spot. Lots of outside money from doing well. A limited amount of experience relatively compared to the competition. One massive fan base. I get the hate it's justified but I think when he gets a big sponsor and builds a crazy car like Chelsea or Ryan he will finally be beating top 3.
Happy for you Adam & the team! Perfection doesn’t exist but the more effort you put towards making things perfect, is alll that matters! Keep grinding out and can’t wait to see u soon!
Adam's content was what got me into cars and drifting if I am honest, always thought it was cool before but after watching adam, I felt like I was learning along with and seeing how far he has come is insane. FD is some of my favourite content to watch and mike is a editing mastermind. All i gotta say is SHEEEEEEEEEEESH
@@boost800 you do realise some of the other drivers have been competing for waaaay longer than adam has 😂 like this is his second year how many years has Chelsea been competing ? Not to mention fredric Aasbo or Vaughn 😂
Dude I’ve been watching for 4-5 yrs don’t really know but man it gets me going when he’s trying and doing good makes me feel like I’m watching a sport like soccer aha thx for your content !!
So proud of my boy Lz still remember when you bought the cream s13 from Keven and started drifting! Crazy how in that time I learned how to skid my car a little and you learned how to stick with the big dogs drifting at the highest level possible! Sheeeeeshh
He felt so confident, and was DRIVING the car and not letting the car drive him. I could tell right away when they made the change. They’re gonna have to get him TONS of seat time tho.
i agree after the change he looked more comfortable in the car but i feel with more seat time before the comp he would have done better, for me at times the car looked hard to drive , just hope in the next two weeks he takes the s15 somewhere that's not the compound and learns what that car can and cannot do before he competes again in Orlando, i am not a drifter just a drift fan so i could be wrong
I loved the whole crew at road atlanta saturday adam. Everyone was so nice and just so genuine. Freddie even gave me a water bcs i was working those cones😂. Much Love adam and keep doing ur thing!!
In '04 and '05 I got free tickets to Drift Atlanta from the now defunct 99x radio station, it was ok. I use to go the Petit every year, so MUCH smaller crowd and less to do forDA/FD. This year, I bought tickets because since the pandemic I've been watching more and more of Adam and Denofa, Vaughn, TRay. Thanks to Cleetus for showing these other awesome channels. This year it was PACKED. It was so much fun, the crowd was for sure behind you Adam. I know we were. Car looked amazing! Saw you talking with folks when we were pulling out through the back of the pits, it was late.. Also Jeremy from FasterProms was there, didn't make it to the Nitto tent in time to meet him face to face. Sorry for such a long "comment". AWESOME job this weekend Adam! Now to watch. >.>
Seems like Adam has gained a lot of confidence in himself and the car. Even the way he breaks down or explains what happens when he screws up has gotten better. Top 32 was super intense. I can't wait to go to an event, and watch in person.
The best caption to that “flirtin with the dirt!” Adam nobody is perfect and it’s okay if you mess up sometimes man, we’re still here to show our support win or loss man. Hope you do happen to read this comment. Keep doing what you do the second run was the right amount of spice
I know what it feels like to have to live with that anxiety at times, for all the people wanting to tear him down theres a equal amount of people rooting for you fam, myself included. Keep it up
The car seems very stabel and dialed chassiswise. I think you may have changed the finaldrive ratio in the Diff. That entry in the battle with Castro was sick dude! Top 8 in the first event, realy good job brother. Up to the next round! ✌👍🙏🇺🇲 greetings from Holland. Looking at the comments, it's so not cool to hear the bashing going on during the FD livestream. Makes me sad, the driftcommunity was always about chilling, enjoying drifting and having fun. It was never hatefull. As a drifter with an enormous passion for the sport, it sucks to see that this happens, makes me wonder if those haters even drift. Or just are like lot of sportsfans, just going with the winning team and talk shit about others, and having no clue what so ever about drifting. Sorry brother that some people are realy shitty. Never mind those people. God bless y'all 🙏
well done LZ..... Have fun in OLRANDO.. Dont mind the haters... Just do the your thing, and were so stoke to see you on the podium in Round 2..best of luck LZMFG Team....
I think you killed it it mate, balls of steel to send it that hard! Mad props to your team too! You got a mad possè and so much potential. Keep hustling dude! 👌🏁🇦🇺
