ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back­to­ back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport­ compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel ­drive, tube­-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front­-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front­-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear­-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club

[@FredricAasbo]

Pretty crazy that we won the first event in the new car! :O Hats off to you guys back at the shop for building a KILLER machine.

[@jetstream01]

Man you're amazingly talented. It's one thing to drive close to another car under normal circumstances, but while sideways?? That's another level. I think you were the perfect pairing for this car.

[@--__6725]

Your skilled asf bro

[@Empiere88]

If it so bad ass why did you sell it

[@mrpasciak92]

Car is only as good as the driver! You kicked ass

[@calvinlee449]

What Max said! Gratz to the whole team!

[@WarpedYT]

Sorry but that ain't no Toyota Supra....thats a PAPADAKIS SUPRA!, freaking amazing man! (Now I have to get some GoPro's in the hidden places on one of your cars during a practice run, and you were right around the corner from me too...Madison, IL)

[@sabyasachiroy7482]

You had us on the first quater ngl

[@Camphlobactor]

Papadakis is one of the best currently active racing engineers in the business. With Aasbo's incredible driving they're basically like Mercedes and Hamilton in F1. Great job guys!

[@Alex-us8cs]

I think the Hamiltons role comes to J. Deane, some say Aasbo has a good year mostly becouse Deane and Wiecek are currently away

[@Starkesea]

I can't imagine papa working for mercedes with lewis, that would be a DREAM DUO

[@user-180-mand90]

Come on. There are levels to this game.

[@fullboost]

Awesome build, well done on the great result :)

[@tuitaco]

that's a funny way of saying it needs a 2k barra 😂

[@GarageSupra]

Guys if you don't follow Fullboost you should, great Australian Channel

[@piaa2570]

Awesome driver too 😂😂😂

[@johnyim5262]

I'm amazed that the car did so well on its debut. Usually it takes a bit of time to work out kinks in a new chassis but that just goes to show how well the team is run and how well prepared they are. Great job!

[@cillianomalley6909]

I think that had a win also when the first debuted the corolla after using the Scion Tc for years. They way they can swap parts / engines so quickly is amazing

[@michaelsimoneau8364]

imagine a 90% computed car who would do shit on the course he was built for XD

[@getahanddown]

Steph knows his shit and it shows in every car + video

[@michaelsimoneau8364]

@@getahanddown yeah i know its related to have faith in computers. Totaly not related to papa's skills mah dude. He is a really dope mechanic i watched all the new supra engine build lol i would doubt computers before mechanic parts tho.These things want to dominate the worlds

[@gmarinelarena8675]

Its been a long time Papa... i really missed you.

[@PistolShrimpPimp]

Dude, love how you cover the background work. I can always apprecaite everyone who makes something work and it's cool to see things you wouldn't normally think about.

[@horismainza7808]

I was about to say your videos are too short and then I realised that it was 7. 36 minutes long, testament to the quality of material you provide, a real car person no crap, pure gold, full content one of the best out there. Nice to see the B58 kicking JDM arse out there, awesome vehicle

7 minutes is long?

Just thought the other day: " how is Papadakis doing?" BAM! Here is a new video!

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Not only is the car amazing... the video is rad. You guys explain everything nicely and feels like I’ve had a quick master class on drift events :D

[@archeraero4613]

THIS is what October needed. Some Papadakis content.

[@ryno9732]

Great work guys enjoyed the series. What's the possibility of getting a series on a budget drift car, i know there has been a couple other channels that has done it. But a build with Papadakis insight and expertise on a budget that should be possible to chase by mortals like us . The bare minimum needed to get going

[@TurbineResearch]

Your attention to detail and precision are incredible. It's no wonder your team took the win. Congratulations 🎉

[@simonjohnson7025]

I love how you can hear Larry Chen at the end.

[@prosperity144]

This is not a easy sport... From building the car to drifting the car... Mad respect to the team for their dedication towards this sports... This is truly amazing

[@SaxxPower]

Brother this build looks like old Days of Thunder...thx so much for showing like this!

[@slipstream615]

Love this channel! Very detailed and thorough narration of the video. You’re the best Steph!

[@abucs3]

He’s back! Love your videos.

[@mscd9676]

I hope more teams do this, I love technical deep-dives like those you do here

[@shred_zed1]

I've watched this build since day 1. Ive watched the events its been as well. Its kinda like my first full youtube experience from start to finish and then actually seeing at events. Absolutely amazing work Papadakis Racing truly truly awesome!!!

[@butcht6309]

Such an awesome build! Well deserve the win! Congratulations! All your videos does not bore me at all no matter how lengthy they are. So very informative, amazing!

[@jetstream01]

This is the only channel where I click as fast as I can to see new videos! Great job!

[@autown]

Literally one of the coolest video series I've ever watched on youtube.

[@RadDadisRad]

Hey you’re back!! It’s been 4 months and I’ve missed you!!

[@dynamoeffekt]

I watched all the episodes from building the 1K HP engine to stripping the Supra and winning the first event. Loved it. The attention to detail, the cleanliness of the build, the information provided have been fantastic. Hats off to all of you. As a BMW enthusiast, I was a little sad when you guys cut the factory harnesses but even the sadness turned into admiration after watching all the "Season". Please continue with the excellent work!

[@sensae5471]

Steph, Please make your videos longer. It’s never long enough leaving us wanting more. Straight to the point no BS is how I like it! Congrats!!

[@St0RM33]

Thank you Mr. Papadakis for making all these videos, you are a great teacher!

[@leandroonishi5600]

I always love papadakis videos. He is not only organized building an engine, he is organized on everything he does! His videos are almost like a class.

[@petergriffin4629]

I just want to leave a comment, that this is by far the best motoring channel on KZbin. Please stay with us for a while and also best of luck for the remaining FD events

[@Abb0nz1]

Great to see another video up. I was just looking at the KZbin channel yesterday because it had been a while and thought I'd missed some notifications...

[@TNTMOTO]

Awesome. It has been great watching this entire build and then to see it win its first ever race!

[@dabrutskiy]

Fredric is very talented! But you are the real winner! that car is very nicely built and is amazing how much you can control on it from suspension to ecu. Absolutely beautiful.

[@jollyfodger2]

Love this sort of content! love the behind the scenes look and breakdown of events.. please make more of these!

[@jefm32]

Tears came to my eyes everytime i see an old supra. What a beautiful machine.

[@adamschanne]

We need MORE Papadakis racing content!!!! Absolutely A1

[@maleficentcop2752]

I got to see the race when your two cars went hear to head...WOW what a team... When you didn't post videos I had to find another way to see how the car was doing.... What a fantastic season, well done ALLL...👍👍👍👍

[@kuyper]

That eye-roll and smirk when you said "a stiffer bar" :) It's almost like it was planned :) Loved this build series; congrats on the maiden win!

[@scose]

The mix of educational and entertainment in this series is perfect!

[@Casey_Jones_]

PapadakisRacing is the mad scientist of the racing world and it is so awesome to get such indepth looks into the builds. Most people would hold this information close to the chest for fear of others taking your work. Thanks for the INCREDIBLE content that you guys are uploading. It is going to be a good year for Papadakis Racing in FD.

[@maxjohn9241]

Look at the floor of the shop, and the car itself. It's surgical room level of cleanness. You guys are what is called "A Professional". Amazing, keep coming!!

[@revelare_xvii6269]

*Stefan proved to the world that the A90 is capable of living up to the Supra nameplate.*

[@CoSmicGoesRacing]

He is helping pave the way for that. The fact he got 1,000hp from the B58 is already amazing given that the aftermarket support for the car is still pretty new.

[@wildanh7806]

Glad to see this thing being competitive on track! Anyway the fact that last time engine failure on fd Seattle came from intake manifold really tell me that the b58 is more reliable than i expected.

[@muhammadhanifkurnaen6689]

Only some plastic part would potentially fail sooner

[@TeamEmperor]

Congratulations Guys, Great Job! Keep it up!

[@gabehale5316]

This video is sick, crazy to see the whole process from stripping the engine to winning an event

[@TBendez]

You deserved that W after all the work you put into the car, not forgetting the awesome, high-quality, pedagogical youtube material.

Can we all agree papadakis is an ACTUAL LEGEND. Literally should be put in the hall of fame. We shall protect this man at all cost!!! Good driving and good teammates I love you guys

Another great Video Stephen! Congratulations To Papadakis Racing and entire Crew!!!! The fact that you went against you team mate hows what a great success story Papadakis racing really is and is a testament to you skill in building great cars, Having two fantastic drivers and The fact that you can take two new vehicles and using your skill as a great engine builder and create two winning machines. Loved watching the entire Toyota build series and especially the the creation of the intake manifold from start finish You skill as as engine builder is beyond almost anything I could create. Looking forward to se what you do next with the rumored 3JZ that may be comiming out in the next few years.
