The season is over and it's time to get you guys up to speed on what has been going on behind the scenes here at Drift Games. As you may have seen, Dave has left his commentary position at Drift Masters after an amazing season. Why did he leave? Well, this video answers that question...
Thank you guys for all your support in 2024! We have some exciting times ahead...

Let’s go boys! ❤

[@driftgames_life]

Thank you guys for all the support 🙏 it means a lot and we are ready to take on the challenge with you lunatics behind us 👊

[@Schmitzelhaus]

Go get them, champ! Best of luck on this new endeavour, we will be here along for the ride!

[@RFT0R]

Massive respect to Drift Games for their incredible passion and dedication to the car culture. As someone who runs a car club, Modified Syndicate, I see firsthand how your influence inspires car clubs and the next generation of enthusiasts alike. Keep pushing the limits and setting the standard for what it means to truly live the automotive lifestyle!

[@pieterv6984]

Selfishly I don't like your decision to quit commentating Drift Masters, because you and Ian are the best duo there is, and I had hoped to listen to that for many years to come.Good though that you pursue your dreams. Thank you for all the great commentary, best of luck with the new plans and above all, thank you for your inspiration on perseverance. That is most special to me. 🙏

[@Watusao1]

I really hope to see Ryusei and Falvey back for 2025 C'mon sponsors pull through! (And hopefully they wanna come back too)

[@Vgk36]

I’m a48 yr old. What you are going to attempt is what older car guys like myself would be willing to do if we could. It’s not in the cards for me in this life. But it is for you. I’m fully supporting this endeavor no matter the outcome. Let’s strap in and see how far you can take this ! Let’s go Dave !!!!!

[@adematthewsracing]

It's never too late. I started racing cars at 49 years old and I've got a wall full of trophies, a great bunch of people I've met along the way and I'm raring to go for next season when I turn 60.

[@joshfosho]

Thanks for the update! Drift Games has certainly grown into more than just Dave and Josh talking about cars in a shed. Were a family now. A freakin huge one at that. DG is a part of the culture. Car builds, partnerships, product, in freakin video games, and now a team in Driftmasters. Yall have definitely helped me get through some low times even by putting up a video to bring enjoyment even for just a small part of the day. Its crazy to think how much has happened since the fire and how much bigger DG has become. Your voice in DM Dave always brought another level of laughs and excitement and you forsure also helped grow it to what it is. Im stoked to see the drift team continue to progress. We Will NEVER Give Up. Lets freakin GO!

[@driftgames_life]

That means a lot ❤️

[@codycollins8415]

This has been my favorite channel to follow this year. I've been watching LZ and Oakes for years but ended up following D.G. a little over a year ago and to see what they have been thru has been amazing, heart-wrenching, heartwarming, funny at times, but very real. I'm not a drifter, but I deeply enjoy the sport and the content it provides. Dave, I'm so excited to see you compete, we've seen you drive with some of the best in the world and hold your own. There is no doubt you're going to crush it!! To the rest if the crew, I'm proud to see you all come back after the fire and stay true to your brand. That's some true friendship.

[@haroldchu13]

Chasing the dream should always be respected ❤ You’re already a giant in the drift community,you and Ian’s voice represented European drifting to me,it’s gonna be weird without your voice next season but looking forward to see you succeed with the goals you’ve chased! YOU CAN DO IT 🤙

[@PercivalDunlop]

You deserve way more views!

[@dannybennett2402]

Its sad to see you leave drift masters because it wont be the same without you but keep activing the goals you have set dave, you inspire me to keep my love of drifting alive❤️

[@robuilds]

I remember meeting you at the paddocks in Poland this year and asking you when are you going to drive pro? And you said “indeed, maybe it’s time to put my money where my mouth is”. Best of luck, can’t wait to see your journey. You’re a huge inspiration 👏👏👏

[@Disruptedable]

Let it be part of your own consideration. Talent is one thing and it'll take you far. But hard dedicated work and commitment is what take you those last steps up. It opens up for everything you have already acheived and that is one hell of a platform to take the next step from. Keep up the good work mates

[@ShillingBH]

Falvey and Egan combo for 2025. It's a good story of a teen and a close to middle aged drifter trying to meet at the same point of excellence. What you have in experience he has in youthful reflexes and lack of fear. Love it

[@WitterStyle]

I AM LEGITIMATELY EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING! This channel is one I look forward to every post! I love Drift Games! ❤

[@IDv8I]

Thanks for keeping us up to date, we do care and want to see you rise from the ashes, literally and figuratively. Much respect and love.

[@TechkNEiK]

Drift games inspired my friend and me to start are own team hopefully starting this spring. I have never really drifted excepted on a sim and my partner has a e32 and is a excellent mechanic. keep doing dope stuff

[@driftgames_life]

Go for it!

[@pancake1751]

I honestly knew for the last 4-5 videos that you were leaning into this direction. You have all the means to get into it, why not take advantage of it? Only a fool with your knowledge and ambition wouldn't. I look forward to seeing you trying to combat all the challenges (and struggles) Wish you all the luck!!

[@traehowell8849]

I started watching you guys back when you started game changers. Building those cars and you and Josh jumping into pro drifting really was the most entertaining and it feels like it’s happened again to an extent. Can’t wait to see you jump in and compete!!!!

[@riddlemethis01]

Dave my guy, I'm behind everyone over there in the drift games family. Right now I just got out of the hospital from fracturing my back and I'm going to be on bed rest for the next 6 months but hey, I'll be along for the ride no matter what you guys do. Keep chasing your dreams. You're going to crush it.

[@John-M35]

Massive respect to you Dave. You have done so much for the irish car scene and the whole world of drifting. You have given your life to the sport and it is about time you live the dream that you have helped so many others to live. Best of luck to you and the team you guys all deserve the best. TEAM DRIFT GAMES❤❤

[@ianshillito2571]

Egan & Falvey DMEC 2025. It needs to be! So excited to see what happens in 2025!

[@CB-1996]

Man Ryusei is a good dude, gotta run all 3 cars!

[@christomofo88]

Lets go! Driving Dave for 2025! Cant wait to see the new HQ come to life and excited to see the new projects you have planned.

[@dzzope]

Some Dave and Jimmy joining the Shanahans in Scotland for some seat time? Love it Dave, go for it. Not sure I agree on the fire not defining your year.. I think it did but in that it lead to all the amazing things that have happened since. The devastation it brought you didn't define your year but you were shown how much you mean to people and the support they have for you from all over the world. Really lookin forward to the new gaff.

[@taylor_drift]

The fire was the Phoenix they rose from and came back stronger and more focused.

[@adamday6315]

Well said completely agree 👍

[@Mk4heavenHD]

Dave I enjoyed watching you drift that crazy supra at LZ world tour and you were 🔥.. All the best mate.

[@adammcnamee6920]

I can't wait to see where this team goes! Drift games has relight my interest in all those 90s shitboxs I dreamed of having. Being a new viewer, it's awesome to see such genuine appreciation and kindness in sharing your deep knowledge of irish drifting and jdm stuff. It's blown my mind.

[@DriftKare]

What an awesome opportunity go for it! Looking forward to seeing practice days and sim sessions. Perfect timing as my own build nears completion for operation seat time! Lesser scale but from having to daily drive my drift cars 15 years ago it’s now a second car I don’t need to use to get to work so can learn without fear of the Monday commute requirement 😂

[@maximumattackrallying]

Absolutely love this. I'm not a big drift person, but you guys are such a big inspiration. The way you do things, the quality of content you make, the attitude, the enthusiasm, it's amazing. As someone trying to make their way as a content creator, if I could achieve 10% of what you guys have done, I'd be pretty happy. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@driftydoristv]

From being a fellow Nankang driver many years ago I’m absolutely buzzing for you guys!! Bring it all on!!

[@pauldrew5279]

Great catch up dave thank you for that and really excited to see you get better or fail trying but either way I'll still be watching and supporting you all 👍 really good idea with the build videos for the club house I can see that being a lot of fun and a good watch can't wait for that 👌 keep pushing lads your doing a fantastic job 👊 all the love Drew

[@schanieldenker2267]

Hell yeah❤ the Eganator behind the wheel 🎉🎉🎉 i love to see your progress. A crazy bunch of guys without any fear❤

[@D1570R73D]

Much love from the USA! Can't wait to see the new shenanigans the crew gets up to in the new HQ. Get out there and prove you got it Dave, not just for the fans but for yourself!

[@tylerdykstra803]

we will always support yall all the way from Michigan USA yall are the kindest nicest ppl i swear keep up the great work and follow those dreams !!

[@joemcgill2925]

Looking forward to the next few months for sure. Lads you have done amazing things and you keep getting better and better

[@treb88]

Super stoked for the future of drift games and you’re going to kill it as a driver Dave! Also I needed that pep talk at the end mate, been down and feeling like a failure as the past few years my life and careers turned to shit, been wanting to get up and try something new but idk hearing you at the end there gave me a bit of pep in my step! Keep it up you bunch of gangsters 🙌🏽

[@RobRegan-ty2mk]

Dave and all the boys at Drift Games u all are doing a awesome job, and I enjoy watching all of the vlogs that u put out for us all to watch can't fault u. Dave all of us are there and supporting u all the way mate, and u got this keep chasing your dreams u got it, keep up with the good work from Rob the Welsh boy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@moose2590]

Great stuff boys! Amazing to see the bounce back and the different types of videos going forward with the warehouse build!

[@T150MPH]

I would never say 2024 was the year of the fire, because of that incident I found the channel and have watched pretty much every video since then. You guys having a passion for something and being resilient to keep going and rebuild after that is what made 2024. Even if you don't get to finish the new HQ at the end of the year, you accomplished more in half a year then most do in ten years. It is nice to see good people do good in life, thank you for the great content.

[@jameskay3310]

You definitely are good enough to win for drift games! I know it!!! I see big things for you!!💯🔧🚗🏁®️

[@tisbutascratch9374]

you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to bro!!! KEEP UP THE FOCUS AND THE HARD WORK!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!

[@Selocmr]

Thank for the wonderful opportunity, a very very good vlog, in life it not try , its do, go and get enjoy while doing so, looking forward to seeing you getting there. Blessings and big hugs. Waiting on the edge of my seat to see the H Q come to life !!!!!!

[@jeffhoffman3429]

I love to hear you calling drift events. But I love even more to see you chase your dreams! I believe in you, and I know you can be successful. Apply everything that has prepared you for these moments! Good luck!

[@murray_m4]

You and the team put the best content out on KZbin, fact. I genuinely find you and the team inspiring. Your enthusiasm and drive to do better is genuinely amazing to watch. Cannot wait to see you drive drift masters and like everything I’m sure you’ll put your all into it 🙌 We can’t wait to see more and more and roll on 2025 😎

[@Fizark88]

I was at Lz worldtour Montreal this years and you are a beast a commentary and entertaining the crowd live at the event, i will miss you ! But good luck with the drifting and i will follow that for sure !

[@charleybull33]

My lord Brother, love all you beautiful Irish lads more than ever - stop the making me cry videos😂

Amazing video. Fair play to you. Follow your dream. I wish I had these opportunities. You gotta grab it and take it when you can!

[@kythom7574]

Good on you, I often wonder this same thing. I'll be watching intently and rooting for you!

[@hurka.design]

I very much appreciate the honesty and transparency. It's so refreshing.

[@jacobgettins]

LFG so pumped to see where all of this goes.

[@superfire9911]

[@mikeyjenkins9751]

I applaud you're honesty tbh it's refreshing to see and hear let's see how far you can chase you're dreams

[@Yrpajooseppi]

Drift Games Clubhouse. This name reminds me a bit of Saturday night in Warsaw after 3 am when I saw you at The club. Keep rocking💪🇫🇮

[@driftgames_life]

😉

[@AKOM96]

Way to go Dave! Honestly Drift Games has become my favourite YT channel! Keep it up cant wait to see whats in store! ❤

[@simonmillington9970]

I just want to see the progression, it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride and I’m glad you are going to be doing what you want to do and dreamed of doing for years, bring it on

[@karlsmiler87]

Dave with the pure love and passion you have for anything to do with cars and drifting, you can and will succeed at whatever it is you put your mind and heart into, we the fans will follow you and have full faith in you brother, go drift the shit out that supra!!! Lets go drift games

[@WarrenMeinking]

You guys got this, without a shaddow of a doubt! Dave, it's absolutely your time now to take to the wheel. I believe you have it in you and you also have the support network to guide you along the way to live that dream. Cannot wait to see what's to come next for Drift Games 😎

[@OwlChapino]

Just wanna say I'll be here every step of the way, I'm excited to see what the future holds for you guys ❤

[@MrSpeedPhreek]

I could not click the like button hard enough. What a very real and inspiring video. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and I am excited to see your progress

[@TheProdigalGoob]

I stand by this 10000% dude. You and your team has done so much for the sport. Now it's your turn to have some fun!

[@JesseR162]

Get it Dave! Ps - posting the new HQ build is awesome, im sure im not the only one who thinks that people that love to build cars also love seeing the build of the facilities to house said cars.. Everyone loves a nice garage/shed/shop...

[@davidh6543]

Good luck Dave, and team. You have brought so much to European drifting over the years, between commentary and promotions.. I hope your guys will still be working behind the scenes with Redbull, with the DMEC livestream etc. I might be wrong, but I always had the feeling there was a 'glass ceiling in DMEC (if you weren't Polish) and that they resent foreigners horning in. Look how James was treated by Worthouse when he upset the script and outshone Piotr in FD. Anyway it's their loss, I will miss your commentary, wishing you success with the new chapter.

[@p3kka813]

Yes man, i am waiting to see you drive man! You got everything to make it happen!

[@mrforeman7443]

For me as just 1 single viewer i watch for the people, you and your team. Not even a big drift fan , just enjoy watching good people do good things 🙌🏁

[@driftgames_life]

Love that 👏

[@shawnczapla1864]

I'm so happy for you Dave! I've been waiting for this day since you decided to build the c6

[@Jdphennessy21]

Loving the ambition from Dave. Best of luck in all your endeavours with your awesome team.

[@willie1523]

I've been waiting for this day. Sad to see you leave the commentary booth, but super hyped to see you drive and progress. Best of luck!

[@stopmediaa]

Drift games as a whole has inspired how i shoot drifting love you guys!! Never change just keeping growing!!! Come to bc Canada we got a killer drift scene

[@bad.bunny_88]

Love your attitude lad. Best of luck to you and the team in everything. Buzzing to see the space. Hopefully see you along the road 🤞🏻🎉

[@scarecrow2275]

You've got more than enough talent to pull it off Dave, you just need the seat time and our support and you can do anything! Much love from Canada!!!

[@Sideways_mcgee]

Too many people quit on their Dreams, I'm happy to see you follow yours but also being aware of the challenges to your team and families. Can't wait to see the what the world has got in store for Drift Games and your drifting career.

[@levelrideconcepts]

Mystery bag purchased. Amazing content. Waiting for the next content already!

[@dainiux753]

I knew it! right that moment when I saw the post in Facebook about your career in drift masters ending! so happy for this, looking forward for it!

[@mattcloke321]

I lost 12 years of work in a fire in 2018. Making it back has been horrendous i didn’t have adequate insurance unfortunately. You guys are inspirational! Its a pleasure watching your channel Thank you for your content💙 Your story has given me what i need to keep going with my story Hopefully ill be back on track in the next 6 months 👌🏼😁

[@Peteblz1]

[@Lil_Dill4]

I'm excited for Drift master 2025 to see the driver lineup, I also immediately bought a bag when you mentioned it in the video. Given I live in the states the bag is going to make a journey to get here lol. Can't wait for off season content and watching the new spot be built.

[@_Dechris757]

I support all the decisions because yall inspire me everyday 👍

[@tailon3983]

I'm really going to miss your commentary in DM, but at the same time, I really want to see you succeed behind the wheel, as you sometimes say in Drift Masters, high risk = high reward. Greetings from Spain, keep up the good work!

[@LTChurchillphotography]

So inspiring, everyone needs to take a leaf from your book and push yourself, go for it and good luck

[@aidanproctor3712]

You guys are my inspiration especially you David Egan!! I am so delighted for you and and your team!! I for one am all for this!
