[@Bull1175]

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.

*dumbledore voice* “GOODNIGGHHHT”

[@WhosJohn]

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

[@joshbrady5400]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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!

[@AstonishLogiicEdits]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@dzzope]

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

[@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.

[@bengeisser]

Congrats on the win and thank you for taking a picture with my wife she said she can now cross that off her bucket list! Congrats again to you and RTR!

[@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

[@SrslyNoz.]

You and Becky walking under the rainbow after your win, that's pretty damn priceless.

[@ignatiuscastelino1880]

Awesome comeback James & co. You are a beast of drift, nice to hear you thanking and appraising your team, they are the best

[@hyppeerr]

Why is no one talking about the edit at the end! That transition…. 28:38

[@aizentheworstcore.3660]

congrats on winning, James!!

[@Supra_Mickey]

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

[@ch3ckth3back]

You're badass man, and the RTR team deserve a raise. I really don't know how else to say it total badass. I watched all of this play out and it's the stuff great movies are made of.

[@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

[@joshpittman2939]

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

[@riddlemethis01]

That was a master class in overcoming adversity and not letting things occupy your mind that will hinder you. Congratulations to the machine and the whole RTR crew

[@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👍

[@kolobok4688]

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

[@ianmansfield8885]

the calmness in your hands steering is just amazing ..throttle and e brake steering just stunning c ontrol thx James and team

[@Philsilva06]

Congratulations James and to the rest of the team, very much deserved

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

Congrats... good win... also your a Legend thanks for helping out Dave from Drift Games

[@qwide2525]

Happy for you, James, Becky and RTR Team!!! You guys did an amazing job. The video filled with incredible emotions and heartwarming support from Becky and the team.

[@Wickit96]

Honestly, this was such an amazing comeback story, not only from the fire but with Irwindale last year going out with AAA bank of a wall ride to start, pushing through that and then coming back to have this happen. Amazing team and the will of a champion, very obvious why you're one of the most successful drifters all around, can't wait for what the rest of the year has in store!

[@katetan8678]

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

[@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

[@enekoa]

James the machine Deane, nothing else to say. Congrats you deserve it.

[@Omar-iba3op]

Congratulations James for the win!! Glad that I met you in person you are my fav driver🐐🫶🏽

[@scottfurtado3504]

Well deserved James!! Congratulations!!!

[@paragonrukus8368]

9:50 thought we wouldn’t notice that transition huh lol

[@muhammadrahim8922]

Had a really really bad day came home layed down and saw this video really made my day❤. Thank you!❤️

[@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 👍 🏆

[@BadBillyJack]

What a year (week). Those runs with you and Hurst were awesome! You did an amazing job, you and the whole team. Congratulations on the win!

[@anilm7919]

The video I've been patiently waiting on, so happy you got your first 1st place podium, lets do it 7 more times 🎉🎉

[@brandondeel3567]

It really is amazing how calm you look behind the wheel man. You just get it. I love the pov. Great driving, you look way more comfortable than last year.

[@vSpr3dator]

Was there in person. Was amazing to see you win! My favorite driver hands down!

[@0riginalkiyoshi]

I got the chills when you won!! As my favorite drifter it was such a rewarding win after all the hurdles!

[@sr20_kid93]

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

[@JamesDeane130]

Thank you so much!!

[@AmonAragao]

I was there and saw it all live. My second time at FD Long Beach and my first time seeing my favorite driver on the top spot on the podium. Thank you for making my weekend in Long Beach unforgettable. There was no other driver who deserved this victory more than you. Congratulations, mate.

[@yourohmie1394]

The rainbow at 26:50 is awesome! It’s wild an Irish couple is walking under a rainbow after a win! Keep killin it!

[@nsx_montana]

The King is back!🔥

[@jamsquidandnoddyadventures5508]

Honestly the best come back story of FD to date. Man I had chills over my whole body when they said James the machine Deane. Congrats man, the rain just make this the most outrageous. From ashes to podium.

[@duckinaroundlife]

Hell of a weekend, great job on the team gettin the car ready to go, masterfull job driving all the omts and getting the win. And the enthusiasm from hobson, even jumping in to wipe the windows, is great, good addition to the team. Cant wait for atlanta. lets get an all RTR podium

[@SamMajor]

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 🤘

[@justthirty1]

Loved every second of this video. Especially the moment’s with communication with the team in car as things happen. Great win! Can’t wait to see you at Atlanta!

[@benlansdowne4502]

Not only is this an huge win for you but the whole rtr team to turn around what most people wouldn't even try to repair in a few days and hats of to dean for allowing you to use his work shop The never give up mentality is good to see

[@e30maniak]

28:41 that transition is siiiiiiiick

[@B_M_A]

Can't lie Jonathan Hurst has been killing it. Brand new car and staying on doors. RTR guys have been killing it too, just goes to show how much of a mind fuck this sport can be - you can be so incredibly down the entire event and then pull off a huge win! Congrats man.

[@brodieyule2386]

It was probably one of the most craziest FD rounds I have ever watched! Super pumped for the team and a massive congrats to you James! Perserverence pervails!!!!

[@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

[@jackhoskins3847]

Legendary drifting moment was made here, the car also looked so aggressive after the fire too! Mental focus is on another level too!

[@anilm7919]

Love the support from Ben as well, he's like a little brother.

[@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.

[@devonfernandez98]

Hell of a ride. Congrats 🎉 this is why RTR is the best FD team out there. WOOOO

[@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!

[@Gecko4nine]

Congratulations James on the win!! Amazing win by you and the huge thanks to that awesome team of yours RTR! Super pumped for this season, rooting for you and RTR to the top!

[@ChenteBlessed]

the fact that u let your hands off the wheel is just insane james ! super compfy in that machine and lets get the championship baby ! 130 !!!!!

[@garrettadkins4352]

Love watching James compete. The skill and consistency in the car is crazy enjoyable to watch. Congratulations on the well earned win!

[@fubar1217]

Congrats to the whole RTR crew! What validation for all the hard work and never give up attitude! You should leave those burnt doors on for the rest of the season for good luck!!!

[@angeloah]

Hells yeah, what a great thing to see pop up. Saw struggles, but you’re a champ, the team is full of glory back of the house to the talent. Awesome.

[@BragoX90]

Congrats man! Black carbon front of the Mustang looks very cool 👍

[@richardmitchell7679]

I smell another championship for RTR

[@Barry.ONeill]

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

[@Possezz]

Mate, honestly, i've checked your channel 4 times a day since the weekend waiting for this upload. So buzzing for you. Well done, James 'The Phoenix'-'machine' Deane

[@irishpaddy555]

I have been doing the exact same..😄

[@JamesDeane130]

Haha thanks for the support guys. 🙏

[@kentonmayon2397]

Well done on the win guy and James fair play with helping out the drift games lads your a legend on the track and a gentleman off it

[@Cxnfetto_]

I just wanna say I watched Drift Games latest video and thank you so much for lending your car to Dave, first found out about him and Drift Games when they made that incredible shop/street video and to see it gone now along with all their stuff over 10 years is heartbreaking. I will say the parallels in the video that he made to your fire situation and his and how neither of you or your teams want to quit was absolutely beautiful. Im now a fan of both of you and will be rooting for you both and hopefully drift games can recover and win just like in your story. Very honorable thing you did James truly!

[@BrandonNoss]

Not Von saying “James is on fire” 😭😂

[@nofearcbr]

😂❤️🤙🏻

[@joealex65]

Vaughn*

[@BrandonNoss]

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

[@SamWilliams78]

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!

[@PDNW]

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

[@QuBaTiOn]

💚 Congrats on the win & love the #DriftGames collaboration #JD130

[@-B.H.]

You and the entire RTR killed it! Also this kind of chill video after the fire was actually perfect.

[@pinecone1811]

Absolute legend!! Congratulations James 👍 well deserved buddy

[@nolimitsgolf]

To basically build You a whole new car then for You to fight all the way through was an incredible story and so awesome to watch........Well done RTR on working so damn hard to have James even on track to compete then great driving in mainly terrible conditions and congratulations James on the win 🏆 👏

[@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.

[@aarontaft9275]

Well earned win congratulations

[@LilFoxAK]

Was on the livestream on the edge of my seat. Thank you so much for providing championship level drifting back in the states. RTR throwing down some of the most insane rebuild to history. 🎉🎉
