FIRST FD WIN IN THE RTR MUSTANG | Formula Drift Long Beach

WE DID IT - against all odds! This one is for the RTR team that put absolutely everything they had to get me back on track after our fire last week! What a wild time at the Streets of Long Beach! Thank you to all who are supporting me on this journey, this was the most emotional win I can remember!

The RTR crew worked their arse off and you proved their hard work was not in vain. Congratulations

[@lprchn8965]

what you have done for drift games is a stark reminder that friendship will always mean more than money or business. hats off lad. true gent.

[@owensparks5013]

Well said. 👍

[@ColourfulFilms]

Acoustic

[@JohnMichael0226]

You made me cheer out loud at my TV my friend, also made a 35 year old dude tear up with you. Congratulations! I don't know how the rest of the rounds top this one! Shout our to the team at RTR and Dean!

[@nofearcbr]

Same here 🫡🤙🏻

[@JamesDeane130]

It really was a moment for me after such a crazy week with everything going on.

[@tannershanksftw]

Same, I've rewatched it three times now and have had some tears each time 😅

[@robertsthought3755]

The Phoenix. James flew, burned down, and came back to victory. All in a year.

[@Redeye_dyes]

*dumbledore voice* “GOODNIGGHHHT”

[@morschgaming]

The rainbow at the end was just perfect. Can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

[@ChuckThree]

Petition to leave the fire damage all season! It looks battle worn but battle proven. Like a badass scar. Turns out all James needed to do to get the win was have a substantial hand in (re)building his own car 😅

[@jeremiahschenk2938]

The Dark Horse!

[@JamesDeane130]

I like it!

[@G_Ozare]

Congrats James & RTR Team for an EPIC comeback. Brother, just wanted to say it was a beautiful gesture to let Dave drive your Euro-fighter at JapFest. You're the people's champ. ❤

[@DannyP159]

Whoever did the edit and thought of the jump cut at 28:40 I tip my imaginary hat to you

[@ChuckThree]

That was so sick

[@phillipcasyey7313]

A true thing of beauty

[@JamesDeane130]

RTR Media Team kills it! I did all the raw editing and they made the jam 👌

[@Barry.ONeill]

​@@JamesDeane130well done to you though for editing your own videos too, 👏 Cleetus mc Farland (Garret) still edits his own vidoes and his up in the 3 millions 💯 opening the laptop gives me anxiety since college 😂

[@TonyhawkWarrior]

There is another jump cut around 9:48 it goes from a blue BMW to a yellow and blue Corvette when they transition from outer zone 3 into the touch and go. It confused me at first, making me think I somehow saw a BMW as a Corvette for the first half of the run.

[@joshbrady5400]

The rainbow as you and Becky walk away with the gold is perfect!!

[@BrandonNoss]

Not Von saying “James is on fire” 😭😂

[@nofearcbr]

😂❤️🤙🏻

[@joealex65]

[@BrandonNoss]

@@joealex65 oh thank you joealex65 what ever would I do without you

[@AstonishLogiicEdits]

The edit at 9:48 is insanely subtle but was satisfying to watch your consistency of your chase line 🔥

[@dzzope]

Mad weekend, Mad week, Mad props for the win in those circumstances, Many more for lending Dave the Streetfighter!!

[@kolobok4688]

Мое понимание заслуженной победы и правильного движения в дрифте. Нормальный чел, поздравляю!

[@GSMMW]

James you need to run the burn doors for the rest of the season; great reminder of never give up! Plus it looks tough. Keep it; Great phoenix story; honor for RTR and also DriftGames and all they been through. I think the rain was a blessing in disguise; you were born in it, molded by it. lol RTR best team hands down; Hats off to you lads! Lets go James! ONETHRITY!

[@aizentheworstcore.3660]

congrats on winning, James!!

[@jimbob7991]

That flapping bonnet would drive me insane… congrats RTR team 👏🏻

[@JamesDeane130]

It didn’t flap before the fire, middle bracket melted

[@FriendlyUncle]

Just pack it in the trailer bud.

[@Realz206]

you deserved that win bro. you and your team are the true meaning of never giving up. what you did for drift games, you're a saint in my book.

[@corex72]

Do you know what the best thing about drifting is? The sportsmanship. You had your teammate, cleaning a window, there’s no sport like it.

[@michaelneal6002]

I dont comment on videos but as I work in the accident repair industry as an met I have to say fair play to everyone that's some hard graft. Congrats on the win

[@kristinewilson5353]

I thought the podium after your horrible crash last season was incredible. But this is just another level of awesome. Everybody says this is James year, and I totally agree

[@nsx_montana]

The King is back!🔥

[@jonathonhayden2406]

"Winners never quit and quitters never win "( Vince Lombardi quote) point proven here. Well done to yourself, Becky and the whole RTR crew on the victory 👍 🏆

[@lukeheyblom2378]

Dano why i always tear up watching james vlogs just feel such a connection with everything its craxy but bloody hell haha the legendary James you are the Man

[@adamricken4792]

I was there the day you made your debut up in watergrasshill,many moons ago now in that green Sierra..you got the loudest cheer that day more than any of the pro drift cars on display. I know we can be a bit of a begrugging bunch here in cork but it's safe to say noone would begrudge you of the success you've had.best of luck for the coming rounds,keep flying the flag for castletownroche,cork and Ireland👍

[@katetan8678]

Mr.Deane , thank you for helping Dave . you are such a legend! I'm a huge fan from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@richardmitchell7679]

I smell another championship for RTR

[@Barry.ONeill]

Definitely we should of put money on it b4 long beech 😂

[@Vsh__]

Respect deserved for the win. Respect deserved for the team. Respect deserved for James Dean editing this video with that transition at 28:39. So subtle yet so sick.

[@sr20_kid93]

You’re amazing. An inspiration. Keep going and win the season 💚🧡💙

[@JamesDeane130]

Thank you so much!!

[@TylerFromOhio]

Please keep all the charred bits for the rest of the season! Such a badass look and tribute to the work the boys put in

[@Austin_Scarbrough]

If I'm being honest? Part of me hopes you leave the charred pieces of the car as a kind of tribute to the team, tribute to what you guys went through, and to showcase the entire team's "never say die" attitude. Watched it live and was cheering for you the entire time man, phenomenal driving and congrats brother!

[@WhosJohn]

the rainbow at the end is poetic - luck of the irish

[@PDNW]

This man comes back from the craziest shit to podium like it's nothing. Getting the win is icing on the cake

[@joshpittman2939]

The rainbow at the end really showed the Irish we’re looking over you giving you a little extra luck

[@theroyaladventure4197]

I want to see this car with the fire damaged livery all season. It looks insane. The show you put on, it was a clinic on how to drift in the wet and it was amazing to watch.

[@niallgrew2920]

Good stuff looking out for the Drift Games boys James...your making us extra proud to be Irish this week....🤙🚘

[@Mig200z]

[@Supra_Mickey]

James The Phoenix Deane being able to turn it around from having a burn down car to winning was an amazing comeback

You are the freaking man. Massive crash last year, podium with broken bones. Huge fire and destroyed car this year, top of the box. Unshakable. I was hoping to find a new favorite pro driver after Chelsea stepped away, and I definitely found one!

[@alo5025]

Please and I hope that you keep this new look for the rest of the season. The black front is so aggressive and clean. Maybe keep the burn marks as it tells a story!

the fact that your "pushing it" is just putting the bumper further into the wall us probably the most badass thing I have ever heard 🤘
