A Drift Games Documentary | EP2 The Good and the BAD...

In the second part of our best of 2023 at Drift Games, we focus on July to December! The Adam LZ World Tour headed to Australia and Toronto, but first, it landed in Mondello Park. Adam LZ had a new AE86 and Hert was hopping into our Verossa. We also went to Japan, Dave faced James Deane and... you know what, there is way to mush to describe, so sit back and enjoy the madness...

Holy crap. I never noticed there was only 222k subs. I just assumed they were over at least a million. The quality of the videos, the cars, the shop. Dave you are a mad man. Keep going man! Amazing content,

[@driftgames_life]

Maybe one day!

[@Jon64scale]

Drift games should have way more subscribers than they do now come on guys hit that subscribe button we got to get them alot more they definitely earned it and deserve it putting out the fire content all the time 👍

[@jamie3uz344]

Never understood why they dont

[@growlith6969]

They should, but they should also get a clue, look at channels that are successful in the car space and realize where they are failing.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

There's absolutely no incentive to sub. The algorithm will feed you stuff anyway.

[@growlith6969]

@@samuelgarrod8327 just like they fed me this video even though I unsubscribed.

[@adematthewsracing]

@@samuelgarrod8327 Doesn't feed you everything though. I've lost count of the number of comments I've read on channels from people totally confused as to why a car has changed completely since the last vid they watched. The home page algorithm will only feed you certain videos. I always use the subscribed feed instead (I've actually disabled the home one now) so that I only see the content, in the correct order, from the people I subscribe to and not all the other junk that KZbin thinks I want to see but actually don't.

[@davidroberts8760]

Drifting at the Track was so fun to watch,You guys Deserve to be Uppp therefore Party on!!!😮🎉❤😅

T-Break and the rest of the Drift Games crew had one hell of a year and every bit of it was extremely entertaining. These lads never seem to disappoint and every video has been straight fire. I can't wait to see what Drift Games has planned for 2024 but one thing I do know is that these fellas have big plans and will end up getting into some crazy ass awsome adventures.

Can't believe you are selling the Z, thought it would always be a keeper.

[@Wheelieking619]

That silver Ferrari is a “Dino” Dee-no named after Enzo’s first or favorite son and I think he passed racing long time ago. Anyway that csr has a v6 transaxle motor in the rear setup yeah so lower cost lots of Italian citizens were driving Dinos in the 80’s

O the Drifting at the airport GranTurismo allover again🎉😮❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anybody here who could give me some advice on what platform and software to start with so I can work on a build for one of my vehicles. Never done any kind of designing body wise or chassis or anything but I want to learn and do it myself.

[@samuelgarrod8327]

If I learned anything this year it's that I will not watch Adam LZ videos. Jimmy Oakes is great though, he seems like a nice guy.

[@growlith6969]

2.5 hours, and this is the second part? Put this in the "bad" category. You guys never have been able to leave stuff on the cutting room floor to make videos more palatable. You will have a few die hard fans that will watch whatever your trot out, but if you want big numbers you are going to have to do 15 minute max videos and post a couple times a week, keep the vibe more like the audience is "hanging with the boys" than professional presenting. I'm sure this comment will end up like the rest, either a butthurt response or silence, but know that its honesty from someone that does want to see you succeed, and doesn't want to watch boring laborious overproduced vids. There is only so much time in the day and all of us watch multiple content creators.

[@markf4258]

Iv said something similar to this before on a video where Dave was wondering why the views have dropped etc. I do think they need to tone back on the presenter Dave. I actually find him the most entertaining when he cant be presenter on camera. Way more natural and authentic. They also need to do more builds. I felt they dropped the ball on the mr2 S15. Such a unique build and it only had one update vid and then the final product. If that was LZ , Oakes or Sammit they would hsve dragged that build over 8 vids and get the audience engaged in the build. I understand the s15 was built by Group D but still I want them to succeed, but they cant compare themselves to other car content creators if they arent doing indepth builds

[@driftgames_life]

It’s a ‘best of’ video as most creators do at the end of the year as they are taking a break to spend time with family etc. We aren’t like most creators in the fact that we also create over 30 events a year globally now, which is our main source of income. That was over 250,000 spectators in 2023 to manage. So it would be like Jimmy Oakes also trying to run 2 Formula Drift series and 5/6 major shows at the same time as running his channel. We can’t go full time with KZbin as it’s not as profitable (ad revenue wise) from an Irish account (roughly 8 times less revenue than the US) and can’t do detailed builds constantly as we outsource the work (meaning generally we wait in line and work is done sporadically). We tried to hire a full time builder, but nobody fits the bill in Ireland, as if they are talented, they already work for themselves and are happier doing that. These aren’t just excuses, they are all avenues we have tried to approach and solve. Unfortunately it means KZbin remains a hobby for us, something we do along the way while working on other projects. We are working on getting away from the presenter-style videos and doing something different in 2024, so hopefully the videos aren’t as shit for you going forward. But we do appreciate the feedback as always and do listen

[@growlith6969]

@@driftgames_life didn't know that KZbin cuts money flow based on country. If that is so, perhaps explore the idea of basing the channel (technically splitting off the video production business) in the US, or partner with a US channel for a double up on content and revenue?

[@driftgames_life]

@@growlith6969we pay our staff here and our taxes here, meaning all our income streams go to Ireland. The revenue from YT monthly wouldn’t necessarily cover 1 staff member’s wages a month atm, but if we grow on YT and that changes, we would definitely look at focusing more on KZbin content as a priority. It’s our dream to have content as our main source of income, so we put a lot of time into it on top of doing the other stuff we do. We like making content and documenting our journey, so that’s mostly why we do it, not for money, as it mostly operates at a loss to feed our car habits 😂

[@growlith6969]

@@driftgames_life well, it could be a chicken or the egg kind of thing. Content drives income or income creates content paradox. I've seen a lot of channels turn great income by offering high quality content with lower view counts using patreon and then turning that into view driving content to where they don't need patreon anymore.

[@SmokeeBearDrifts]

LBKW turned 2 boring old school Ferrari's into 2 show stopping one of a kind masterpieces. Ill never own a Ferrari cause they have the nerve to send people letters telling them that they cannot alter or modify their own car. If I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Ferrari ill do whatever I damn well please to my car. If someone buys your Ferrari that means it not your damn property anymore and you have no say in what that person does with his or her car. Ferrari is a big Joke

It’s the worlds first NC SR20. We know of 100s of SR NA Miatas, there are like 10 in Ireland. The NC shares nothing with the NA so that’s why it was a stress
