*NOTHING BUT THE BEST* from *_-"RED BULL"-_*

[@glenjamindle]

THIS needs to be mainstream, not FD. The announcers, the zone fill graphics....it's all so good.

[@RedBullMotorsports]

Every round is live and FREE to watch on Red Bull TV 👍

[@mairis4579]

@@RedBullMotorsports i watched it live...unfortunately tickets sold out too fast, i was planning to go to riga for this one. but that nilsen and kvia tandem was the best, sad that they couldnt do omt to the end...

[@notcdel1]

what’s mainstream about fd?

[@oldblood_eyes]

lol since when was FD mainstream ?

[@markyquindoza1792]

Just because fd is livestreamed on yt doesnt mean its that mainstream lmao

[@Tyler_J_Cook]

Nothing in this world makes me happier than seeing James and Piotr. These guys need to team up again and take over the world.

[@cvetanvasilev40]

they are my favorite drifters, in a team they`re unstopable

[@OhhRuse]

That last run literally gave me goosebumps!

[@MusicFromTheOm]

Yes, that was epic!!!

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

how he came out from smoke and kissed his door in last corner.. perfect

[@skyesprofessional5ho740]

Absolutely insane. So much more intense than FD.

[@ArmyVet1776]

James and Piotor- dominating in every series across the world- EASILY the top drivers in the world!

[@jackojacko7358]

Jeez!!, that last run was insane!!

[@RedBullMotorsports]

Incredible!

[@flyingsnail4060]

Piotr is such a humble human being.

[@alexarango6677]

With Red Bull marketing skills I'm sure this will grow much faster and bigger than FD, and it should, because this is 10 times better.

[@p3sel]

I guess you were right about this one. This year is gonna be crazy. Naoki Nakamura as a guest driver and the finals being held in Polands biggest stadium. 🎉🎉🎉

[@jamiemcilreavy4827]

D1gp, RDS, FD, FDJ, BDC watch the all but nothing is better than when it comes DMEC time it literally has everything but by far the best tandem battles

[@markocampo1857]

Credits to James and Piotr. Good sportsmanship. Great skills!

[@ROCASIO31]

This DMEC season is insane 🔥🤙

[@RedBullMotorsports]

We happily agree, the level has been raised!

[@INumba1Stunna]

Been a huge drift fan for years. New to watching Drift Masters, and damnn I love it! These drivers are insane, the sections are intense, the cars are gorgeous. Great commentary & judging, great content all around! Enjoying the 2024 season now 😎😎🔥🔥🔥

[@jasonwhitwam197]

[@robertblake4006]

Deane vs Wiecek - epic... Shanahan, Bertans also very good draivers...beautiful

[@aphex14]

Man!!!! I don't like to compare, but the level in detail from the commentators, aligns with the actual Drift, like the D1 series back at the House of Drift, Irwindale '03 to '05. Excellent!

[@meepk633]

How do you win? I don't understand what they are doing. Are you trying to cross the line first? Or is it more style points type of thing?

[@mr.remplisseur3768]

So the car that follows needs to be as close to the otrher one and get the same angles as the car that he is chasing. The closer and cleaner then better. Hope i helped. Btw i was there live and it was just amaazing. I had chills the whole time. Even got my gf to fall in love with drifting❤️

[@Masna_]

Is FD the one American sport where they admit if you win your not a world champion (looking at you nba, mlb, etc)

[@Breakstuff5050]

How did red car win when he was low angle. Blue had more angle, which makes it easier to get proximity, red car wasn't really matching angle or mimicking as well as blue car did during his chase. Although he did have less proximity. Did blue car miss a clip or zone on his lead?

[@buildingsalvage]

How is Deane this good, man edit* wow fuck FD, this is insane. Way more entertaining

[@LudwigWilding]

Racing is brilliant, particularly loving Piotr Wiecek. But. Can ewe have some valium for the announcer? I get that it's exciting, but outshouting the engines can't be good commentating.

[@kriksis98]

Announcer is amazing, seeing and hearing emotions pour out is everything. I loved every second of his commentating.
