Formula Drift Long Beach: James Deane's Runs

[@brentpadgett7178]

I can’t wait to watch James Dean back in FD this season with the RTR boys!!!!

[@Ahsieh2]

5:00 I know it's Falken tires, but I just keep hearing "Worthouse fuckin tires Sylvia S15". I can't stop laughing.

[@Wildchildinc]

I've only heard of Deane and Piotr a few times when they would pop up on drift media from across the sea. Now I understand the hype around them after witnessing them in person. They shredded last week and made a clear statement. They will definitely shake up the competition this year and hopefully inspire anew for the future of FD. Deane was able to get similar angle to Forrest Wang, but at a higher rate of speed which showed me that it's possible to retain speed with style.

[@angelwalker.]

6 years later. Piotr best in europe and deane up there as well

[@skudzo]

dont sleep on his teammate. they're both good, and infact his teammate has beaten him a couple of times in Drift Allstars.

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Treypole Piotr is a awesome driver, wait till he gets that car dialled in and he is going to hurt some feelings

[@gooch89]

his teamate is more aggresive in the chase position

[@mat8009]

Haha he recently beat James In drift masters too

[@noahhoffman4475]

@@mat8009 i see we both happen to be 5 years late on this video? but yes piotr is a mad man. james is i think a better lead and piotr is a better chase

[@Mousyy]

​@@noahhoffman4475 whats everybodys guesses for this year? 😂

[@TheRealTieLUR]

James deserves that win hopefully he forces the other drivers to step up their tandem game

[@X3V1OUS]

well deserved, super consistent runs throughout the whole event, sick angle with little corrections. Can't wait to see his other upcoming runs in the following events!

[@qotsa1]

Someone should show all his runs in one go. They are probably almost identical

[@MrFoulksy]

Forsberg must have been hurt when that clutch shimmy didn't end Deane's run what a pillock

[@johng69er]

MrFoulksy agree x1000% he tried it to hohnadell too

[@descending66]

Can you elaborate please? never heard of a clutch shimmy before.

[@MrFoulksy]

BigFudge it just means he held the clutch in where he should have been accelerating. But he kept the throttle pinned so it sounded like he was still accelerating. All that just to try and end the chasers run tut tut.

[@descending66]

cheers for the explanation

[@mmn-s15]

must not watch the video forsberg posted where the gear pops out not clutch shimming

[@am60023]

THIS GUY IS GOING SOMEWHERE NEVERMIND HE'S ALREADY THERE!!!!!

[@fernandomecbike2062]

James Deane is the best of world!

[@juanvalles8187]

The Guy to watch this year for sure.

[@LRSNRCNG309]

James Deane will be the 2017 champ, if you disagree, go watch EVERY video of him drifting and you will agree with me

[@Mousyy]

Oh how right you were friend, the hat trick champion in fact. I hope to see them back, I'd love the chance to face either of them.

[@sabreproductions2004]

Heilbrun was such a great driver. I can see why he left FD. They never gave him the credit he deserved.

[@manstafstevnav]

he`s on whole new level. great to see.

[@Tivoliterror]

DUDE, seriously im a massive fan of Aasbø but DEANE, HOLY SHIT!!!

[@Yunyopern]

Killing then on the chase runs.

[@Deathlyill666]

Now for James to pop up at a grassroots/amateur drift event like Finalbout

[@yasuke1075]

Lord Haruguchi exactly

[@squirlybmx]

Lord Haruguchi probrodown in NJ after FDNJ

[@asterion3518]

Brawo Janek!!!

[@nuttysnpdg]

the accuracy is insane

[@Benny46drift]

Amazing start to the season,big changes for 2017 👌🏽 loved this winners round up video, hope this happens for all the events no matter the winner

[@nickamarit]

well-deserved win!

[@Vert344]

I know everyone's on the "James Dean" hype train... But remember we still got a full season. And I feel people are looking over some pretty solid people this year. Like Heilbrum. This was BY Far his best event and nearly a win. I honestly felt his battle would have been a omt if he didn't mess up the final corner. I'm expecting him to be very strong this year if he stays as dialed as he was in LB. Not to mention Tuerck probably looked the most solid and consistent he has in a long time and is probably going to be a sleeper in the championship if his car doesn't break. And Odi was just on fire as always. And looked way more solid and comfortable back in his trusty S14. And I feel has a strong shot at the championship if he can just button a few things up over the middle portion of the season. Then there is also Dean Kearny who.. was just driving on a different level than previous years in that Viper. And seems that he's finally getting that car settled and much smoother without losing speed or angle. Then there is Coffman who just to REALLY seem to have cranked up the intensity level this year. And can we take a moment to think about this.. We had a Iris vs Peru final?? The top 5 were Norway, Lithuania, U.S, Peru and Irish.. Thats quite the unique top 5 and podium. And show's the diversity of the sport. Overall. This year is looking to be one of the best in FD. And I can't wait to see how the rest of the events go. Looking forward to the rest of the year. :D

[@pablojimenez2035]

Well said I honestly don't like James because he beat Ryan tuerck

[@Vert344]

Well he beat Tuerck pretty straight up. lol Can't be mad at him for that. There was a slight gap when Tuerck chased him as well as some mild bobbles in the chase on the second outside wall in front of the judging stand/main grandstand. While Dean laid down a solid smooth lead. Now Lead for lead I'd say they were pretty close. And in honestly I'd say Ryan won on the lead run as he reached all the zones and even scrapped the wall on the second wall ride right before the last transition. BUT Dean pretty much shadowed him the entire run and was much closer than Ryan was to him and without the bobbles/corrections behind him. So Lead for Lead it was close but based on the chase run and the overall Dean had two better runs overall than Tuerck. But still.. a 3rd place for Tuerck is still a great way to start a season. And like I said if he doesn't have car troubles and stays consistent he can be a tough competitor this year.

[@pablojimenez2035]

Yea I guess I was saltey about that

This is also a like a recap to season 2012 when Saito entered FormulaD, he took the series tandem game to next lvl. Now James is doing it, and Piotr is definetily one to watch, one of the few guys in Europe to match James.

[@Vert344]

I agree... Daigo came in 2012 and completely changed the game in FD. He brought the HP wars from Japan to the U.S as well as his natural Japanese style driving and aggression. But at the same time he did add some diversity to the field that a year prior and that year was dominated by nothing but LS's V8's. Now some years later Dean and Piotr are here and forcing everyone to step their game up again. Dean has that same speed and Aggression as Daigo.. BUT the difference and where Dean does it better than Daigo is in the consistency. Deans very Similar to Daigo but he just does it so much more consistently and is a bit smoother in some aspects as well. Overall I'm loving what him and Piotr are bringing to the table and I think they're really going to shake up the championship this year. But again... as we already saw a LOT of drivers have stepped up their driving with these two showing up. Dean Kearny, Coffman, Heilbrum, Tuerck... don't sleep on any of these guys.

[@MLKM4N]

just an opinion here, try keeping the same level of loudness with the announcers because we have to adjust volume constantly

[@MLKM4N]

just an opinion though. No hate

[@mykawel1]

I am French , And My Favorite pilote is James deane. Congratulation.

[@s00045732]

I was a fan of Forsberg but that was a bit sneaky coming off power through the last transition, is that not ment to be a full throttle zone? Probably was pissed from the entry nudge 😂

[@TheRickeMovies]

DAAAAAAAMN

[@leethek7272]

he's a beast

[@cutepoison1982]

got damn, we`ll see it again..

[@georgiohenderson5998]

This will be a good season for Dean. A competition and set of tracks he's not used to, but his consistency is what will win. As long as he can find a good line, it's rinse and repeat.

[@MrAncop]

jesus christ this man is like glue

[@Senanshero6]

"Oh wow shallow on that outer zo-JAMES DEANE!!! RIGHT ON THE DOOR OF FORSBERG!!!"

[@joey6884]

This video was brought to you by Drift Alliance , RTR and Papadakis Racing .

[@bmxskatescoot4all]

Other than heilbrunn i dont think anyone got as close to other cars as deane holy crap

[@Makrel94]

Damn.. Whoever programmed the stig to win that event must be good !!

[@thatdudeinglasses]

Не удивлюсь, если он на всех предстоящих этапах FD первым будет! Даст Бог только чтобы тачка не подводила :)

[@2015ml]

Надеюсь, что Гоча таки еще пройдет выше топ32) Но Джеймс конечно месит!

[@thatdudeinglasses]

Да пройдёт, запросто! И красивые заезды покажет, как он умеет. Тачку свою только нужно туда ему, привычную, мощную)

[@jeraldsiemon]

2jz power does it again

[@codemy666]

>Implying that it's the engine not the driver

[@fiilly9223]

You mean consistent James Deane does it again.

[@johnnysidewayz6873]

Shaun Reilly well said

[@dexter77769]

Tuerck and foresberg my favs

[@douglassantacatarina3801]

[@yasuke1075]

Douglas Santacatarina 😂😂😂

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Loyal JZ foresberg and tureck haven't got anything for dean, they have not he tried and failed to beat him in the uk so it's not going to be any different on USA soil

[@seanflan98]

UP DA RA 🍀 James Deane is a fucking machine lads

[@SamuraiRyosuke]

Woooow!

[@graphixkillzzz]

[@SpenceHogg]

Sup from 2023

[@Tpitgr]

I want to see chelsea denofa take one home and JTP

[@thewhitezubia]

you think they'd find a way to make less smoke. I know it's strategic when you're leading but holy crap that's gotta be terrible

[@Deathlyill666]

Anthony Zubia Less grippy tires

[@thewhitezubia]

Lord Haruguchi just saying..if you can change the color, I'm pretty sure you can use a compound with same grip just less smoke

[@austinreeves5558]

Anthony Zubia I love the clouds coming off the wheels!

[@Wildchildinc]

If the rear panels and trunks weren't vented out the smoke wouldn't be as cloudy.

[@Baker3939]

But if your d2d you can get caught in less smoke too but get behind and its all over

[@mouzVID]

4 years later and it seems even more empressive not like todays drift with those "griped" cars

[@jacobbeattie5j468]

Ryan dosnt get that much angle

[@jhm772]

Its because he has the best car platform, jk he seems to drive like that European scion driver.
