FIRST FD WIN IN THE RTR MUSTANG | Formula Drift Long Beach 

The RTR crew worked their arse off and you proved their hard work was not in vain. Congratulations

what you have done for drift games is a stark reminder that friendship will always mean more than money or business. hats off lad. true gent.

The Phoenix. James flew, burned down, and came back to victory. All in a year.

You made me cheer out loud at my TV my friend, also made a 35 year old dude tear up with you. Congratulations! I don't know how the rest of the rounds top this one! Shout our to the team at RTR and Dean!

The rainbow at the end was just perfect. Can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

The rainbow as you and Becky walk away with the gold is perfect!!

Congrats James & RTR Team for an EPIC comeback. Brother, just wanted to say it was a beautiful gesture to let Dave drive your Euro-fighter at JapFest. You're the people's champ. ❤

The edit at 9:48 is insanely subtle but was satisfying to watch your consistency of your chase line 🔥

Petition to leave the fire damage all season! It looks battle worn but battle proven. Like a badass scar. Turns out all James needed to do to get the win was have a substantial hand in (re)building his own car 😅

Mad weekend, Mad week, Mad props for the win in those circumstances, Many more for lending Dave the Streetfighter!!

Dano why i always tear up watching james vlogs just feel such a connection with everything its craxy but bloody hell haha the legendary James you are the Man

James you need to run the burn doors for the rest of the season; great reminder of never give up! Plus it looks tough. Keep it; Great phoenix story; honor for RTR and also DriftGames and all they been through. I think the rain was a blessing in disguise; you were born in it, molded by it. lol RTR best team hands down; Hats off to you lads! Lets go James! ONETHRITY!

Whoever did the edit and thought of the jump cut at 28:40 I tip my imaginary hat to you

Мое понимание заслуженной победы и правильного движения в дрифте. Нормальный чел, поздравляю!

you deserved that win bro. you and your team are the true meaning of never giving up. what you did for drift games, you're a saint in my book.

Not Von saying “James is on fire” 😭😂

congrats on winning, James!!

Mr.Deane , thank you for helping Dave . you are such a legend! I'm a huge fan from Philippines 🇵🇭

"Winners never quit and quitters never win "( Vince Lombardi quote) point proven here. Well done to yourself, Becky and the whole RTR crew on the victory 👍 🏆

I dont comment on videos but as I work in the accident repair industry as an met I have to say fair play to everyone that's some hard graft. Congrats on the win

Respect deserved for the win. Respect deserved for the team. Respect deserved for James Dean editing this video with that transition at 28:39. So subtle yet so sick.

Awesome comeback James & co. You are a beast of drift, nice to hear you thanking and appraising your team, they are the best

I thought the podium after your horrible crash last season was incredible. But this is just another level of awesome. Everybody says this is James year, and I totally agree

Had a really really bad day came home layed down and saw this video really made my day❤. Thank you!❤️

Please keep all the charred bits for the rest of the season! Such a badass look and tribute to the work the boys put in

Good stuff looking out for the Drift Games boys James...your making us extra proud to be Irish this week....🤙🚘

Congratulations James for the win!! Glad that I met you in person you are my fav driver🐐🫶🏽

That flapping bonnet would drive me insane… congrats RTR team 👏🏻

I was there the day you made your debut up in watergrasshill,many moons ago now in that green Sierra..you got the loudest cheer that day more than any of the pro drift cars on display. I know we can be a bit of a begrugging bunch here in cork but it's safe to say noone would begrudge you of the success you've had.best of luck for the coming rounds,keep flying the flag for castletownroche,cork and Ireland👍

The King is back!🔥

Do you know what the best thing about drifting is? The sportsmanship. You had your teammate, cleaning a window, there’s no sport like it.

You’re amazing. An inspiration. Keep going and win the season 💚🧡💙

Well earned win congratulations

The rainbow at the end really showed the Irish we’re looking over you giving you a little extra luck

28:41 that transition is siiiiiiiick

You're badass man, and the RTR team deserve a raise. I really don't know how else to say it total badass. I watched all of this play out and it's the stuff great movies are made of.

The video I've been patiently waiting on, so happy you got your first 1st place podium, lets do it 7 more times 🎉🎉

Massive congratulations James hella driving well done to the Rtr team some effort boys and girl well done everyone including Becky :)

Congratulations James and to the rest of the team, very much deserved

Hells yeah, what a great thing to see pop up. Saw struggles, but you’re a champ, the team is full of glory back of the house to the talent. Awesome.

If I'm being honest? Part of me hopes you leave the charred pieces of the car as a kind of tribute to the team, tribute to what you guys went through, and to showcase the entire team's "never say die" attitude. Watched it live and was cheering for you the entire time man, phenomenal driving and congrats brother!

What an achievement from a positive likeminded team. Well deserved 🏆

What a year (week). Those runs with you and Hurst were awesome! You did an amazing job, you and the whole team. Congratulations on the win!

Legendary drifting moment was made here, the car also looked so aggressive after the fire too! Mental focus is on another level too!

Every drivers favourite driver! Always a smile always ready to rip and have a gooden ❤

Congrats on the first victory of the year James, I see now why they call you the "machine"! No matter what conditions u were put it, you just kept on going with zero questions and destroyed everyone on track, amazing videos and I can't wait to see you take the championship this year💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
