My FINAL Formula Drift Round. Emotions Run High and We Achieve Greatness!

[@Charlie-Charlot]

This is only the beginning of his drifting career. Chelsea will definitely go down as one of the greatest legend of the sport, can’t wait to watch your future endeavors!

[@Lee-zx2rr]

I hope he does something like Gymkhanas, sorta like what KB43 used to do

[@Charlie-Charlot]

@@Lee-zx2rr maybe not gymkhana videos per se, but I’m sure Chelsea is stepping out of FD to develop his KZbin content. This is something that pretty much every FD driver tried to do. It would be amazing to see him drifting in Japan with Noriyaro for example

[@SpaceBarbarian]

❤

[@Christon1]

Lost essa now this smh

[@TurboJohniGaming]

​@@Christon1Mike is doing DDE now and drifting occasionally to

[@McarthurMotors]

The formula drift staff running after deane is a hero. On the live stream he was so much faster then anyone else to react and see if he was ok…and this video just proves he was running before the car even stopped. Crazy! Hats off to him he has my full respect!

[@chrisbeatty743]

Holy moly James’s crash was so much more violent from the ground level video

[@wobblysauce]

That wall ride

[@ijgdjvjd2998]

It's going to be a hard to watch fd without you there. Hope the future holds great things for you.

[@maxwellhatkow6209]

I legit won't be watching it anymore. He's been the only reason I've watched for years.

[@LeviGarrett_]

Luckily, I like James deane a good bit so I’ll still watch. But its definitely not gonna be the same because nobody is gonna drive as rowdy as Chelsea

[@mdnghtwlf]

Congrats on the Championship! You’ve single-handedly kept FD interesting and exciting the last few years. Best of luck with your future endeavors and I hope you keep the camera rolling because your passion and knowledge for the sport is something I always look forward to.

[@isaac-shapiro]

the most savage fd driver of all time. what a career and an influence on the drifting community!!

[@Sk.2500]

0:40 the bug casually walking all over him up to his neck ahah

[@josegamer9115]

It's Hard To Say Goodbye From FD To My Favorite Driver And That Bright Yellow Stang Packing Everybody In There Trailers, I Hope To See You Again With The Pennzoil RTR In The Near Future, Always Cheering For You Man!!!!!!!

[@philadams8659]

The “later nerds” got me geeking at the end. Congrats to the whole rtr team and Chelsea!

[@Stevie4KGaming]

Well done chelsea, Well deserved championship, Thank you for the last 12 years, FD won't be the same without you

[@phoenixsui]

I must say i was most impressed how you overcame the lack of power with all tricks available. I applaude for this run :).

[@krasenpirindov9572]

9:40, could not have said it better. The guy truly left his mark on the sport. He always seems to be there just for fun, and I believe that embodies the spirit of this sport. It should always be about style and having fun in a car, and Chelsea DeNofa brought both of those in spades to FD. Thank you and farewell!

[@Valval24-v4i]

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHAMP BROTHER YOU DESERVED IT 🎉 !!! Final round of Formula Drift at Irwindale Speedway was one for the history books! Y’all I can’t believe taking my wheel & having it signed by the one & only would make it in his video 3:13!!!☝🏽🧡

[@jimmybarber652]

Dude congrats on the championship you should be thankful for Chris

[@chelseadenofa]

I am! Haha

[@florian_montuzet]

I'm not crying. You crying 😢. Chelsea you deserve every pounds of this trophy. You and your team where just untouchable this year. I'm following your path since 2014 and I'm sooooo happy for you. From the E36 to driving for a factory team. Your a symbol of dedication.

[@tristan7122]

THANK you Chelsea for everything you have done, you got me into FD and much much deeper into drifting on a technical level than anyone else, thank you so much for what you do. Your driving style is just off the charts, compared to 99% of the other drivers and has always provided entertainment. I wish you all the best, lots of fun and enjoyment in whats to come for you in the next year(s) ❤️

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

FD win is great, but Chelshe was the real prize in this journey. A good women at your side is priceless. Enjoy your time next year, well deserved.

[@chelseadenofa]

Well said!

[@ExV1rUS]

Love your ending Chelsea! You deserve number one to go out with a bang (Also happy to see Frenemies on 2nd and 3rd!)

[@DrifterAtHeart-Woocash]

Brother You deserve it, CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP. FD will not be the same without you. Been a pleasure watching you in FD for years, thank you for following your dreams and bringing amazing entertainment Dude. Shout out and big love to all the marshals. I really hope the one running over to James before he even stopped will get recognition for his care, fucking legend.

[@MaxHeidrich84]

Thank you LEGEND 🙏🏽🔥

[@96Tre]

Chelsea “The Dawg” Denofa, by far my favorite driver in anything. Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@TheOystei]

FD is not gonna be the same without you and your exiting driving. Best of luck going forward!

[@jesset061084]

Congrats to the whole rtr team and congrats to Chelsea and good luck to what’s next in his life he will be missed

[@covertdestroyer]

First off, CONGRATULATIONS what a year you’ve had. Super stoked to see what the future holds for you Chelsea. I’m sure it’s gonna be good but I’m gonna miss seeing you on FD.

[@automotiveexplorations7556]

You will be missed I'm sure as well as a bunch of others we will follow your future endeavors! Bumper budget kid!!

[@8bithack]

It feels like Chelsea is just the realest guy around. I love how much passion he brings into all the stuff he does. It was rad being able to watch him battle for the championship this year and clench it as his piece de resistance. Can't wait to see what he does next, I'm sure it will be just as amazing.

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Man I can’t believe that your done with fd! I have been one of your biggest fans for a long time. I am going to miss all your crazy’s runs with all the angle for sure.

[@chrisgreer1911]

Damn it ,!! i wish i would've known u would be leaving , i would've been there no matter what and finally able to get the dream of meeting both you and Vaughn literally fav drivers ever , but without a doubt im getting one of those BC Racing Denofa coilover shirts

[@onlyonebran]

Can't lie. You LZ and Boss man are the only reason I watch FD.

[@bigmikepimp2003]

Your gonna make me cry all over again... but I'm glad it was you that got the win you've deserved it. For a very long time. Sucks I got pics with alot of the drivers that day but not with you so I hope you make it to Cali in your next endeavor

[@Roberto23-6-23]

Do what you want brother enjoy life. Still RTR heart no matter what. DO IT FOR DALE!!❤️

[@scratch1924]

You're the main reason i watch it, coz you always give it everything, and sometimes more lol.. You'll be missed in FD that's for sure.. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years, and the best of luck for your future. 🙂👍🏆

[@jra5624]

I'm bummed, man. I'm really going to miss you in FD - but I know we'll still see a TON of drifting from you, hopefully. Maybe even more? I've only been paying attention to FD for about two years now - and you're hands down my favorite drivers. You have the most gangster lead runs and chases that I've seen. Whatever you have in the works, man - I hope it makes you truly happy. Oh, and fucking congrats on the championship dude!!! So hyped about that shit.

[@Zach.Smith68]

Can’t wait to see what’s next, congrats champ !

[@daylatedrift]

Congrats dude and thanks for being a real one 🤘 I still hope to drive circles around you someday 😈

[@14_yote5_oh5]

I called this from the beginning. The best on track proved he is the best. Always will be! When I think of best drifters on the planet, Chelsea is my number one. Style, aggression, perfect lines and just overall pedal to the metal. Also, can I use your 2023 livery on my 24 GT? It's yellow because of you sir! I also must have you sign my dash! It would mean everything to me! You are my inspiration man. Best of luck to you and yours. Looking forward to what your future holds!

[@vitalydushkin]

Best of luck in your future endeavors, Chelsea! Do your thing. But I hope you'll be back in FD one day.
