Formula Drift VS. Drift Masters With Adam LZ

[@carlooooo0]

Damn. Wish it was a longer podcast, but understand it was during halftime. Thank you for the content 👊🏼👊🏼

[@chrisforsbergracing]

Agreed, it felt like it flew by!

[@crocopEst]

Really need longer podcast about Adam Fd and DM comparison in every way

[@chrisforsbergracing]

I think we’re all curious about his perspective. I agree.

[@OOoOski]

@@chrisforsbergracing Yet only one specific and one non direct question was asked and answered, please do more.

[@jkflorida]

I could’ve watched 2 hours of this! Great content boys!

[@chrisforsbergracing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MisterMonsieur]

What video did you watch? Half-way through the video all they'd done was brag about their money. Nothing new was learned from anything after that.

[@turbocateyeS475]

​@@MisterMonsieurworking hard for your money means you're allowed to talk about it. The second someone "makes it" and doesn't have to struggle suddenly their either a sellout or hated for having money. Maybe you shouldn't let successful people talking about money frustrate or anger you and instead let it motivate you to go make more. 🤷🏻

Who Adam doesn't want to line up against: Matt Field, the answer was Matt Field lmao

[@cobratuner]

Just listening to LZ talk these days is nuts. Went from nothing to an incredible technical understanding of cars in such a short amount of time.

[@FUCK_________googIe]

It hasn't really been that short of an amount of time given his level of exposure. But it is always cool when you have been watching someone since back in the day and you were like "for fucks sake, what are you doing, what are you even talking about???" And then to see him have nearly a maximum level of competence in understanding the dynamics of chassis behavior and tuning etc etc. It's pretty sick

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Thats wut happens when you do the work n have the right ppl around you. Chelsea Denofa is probably the most proficient teacher around when it comes to suspension setup n tires n he taught adam alot.

[@kyleturner4293]

Thanks for the support! Having a blast with these.

Would love to see more Chris and lz stuff. I always hate it when they line up cause I like just about every driver but they’re the ones I’m mainly pulling for so someone’s weekend is over and it sucks. But it’s nice to see them hang around off track

Drift Masters tires has to be street legal, so slicks are not allowed. But those are quite sticky. Usually max 2 runs. 285's were max width this summer season. Next season max width is 265.

[@karlos_96]

I remember Lauri Heinonen saying that he will at least drive 285 next season? I hope I'm not misremembering 😅

[@zy5270]

They were planning because of cars breaking from the grip. But they’re staying at 285 because Valinos are the main tire sponsor and they still have a bunch of stock left. Can’t deny it was in the talks but it seems next year 285 still.

[@karlos_96]

@@zy5270 Okay! Maybe 2026 will be max 265

[@johannesvaatinen7630]

@@zy5270 Lauri Heinonen said in his latest video that they run 285 next year.

@@johannesvaatinen7630 As I said Valinos still have bunch of stock leftover of 285’s, and Lauri is sponsored by Valino, so ofc they are running 285. But hopefully in 2026 265 will come.

[@ae86racer007]

soooooooo, Forsberg to Drift Masters? lets goooooo

[@turbocateyeS475]

Driftmasters is still pure. Drivers aren't using sneaky strategies just to get a win. I like Chris as a person and the content he posts but his professional drifting is kinda frustrating.

[@th3banditx]

awesome.. needs to be longer for sure

[@chrisforsbergracing]

Wish we had more time!

[@GeorgioSubs]

I prefer DM because of the tighter more technical tracks with lots of transitions. FD tends to use layouts with loooong corners and 2 transitions the entire run. I hope to see Chris try DM some day.

[@philtheoccultist]

I fuck w this

[@chrisforsbergracing]

Same 🫡

[@miatafied]

Drift Masters is more entertaining to watch than FD. I still love watching FD and it has excellent drivers, but the drivers in Drift Masters are insane! The tracks are better, the skill, the speed… Piotr Wiecek, James Deane, Jack Shanahan, Juha Rintanen, Duane Mckeever, Conor Shanahan.

[@anwarurena4513]

This was a awesome ass podcast

[@chrisforsbergracing]

Thanks man!

[@lude-N-lopsided]

No hablo

[@FUCK_________googIe]

yeah seriously, what the fuck are you even talking about?

[@turbocateyeS475]

Are you saying the weird FD fanboys will come at TJ harder than they did LZ? Because skill shuts them up quick enough. Adam has proven, more than some other pro drivers, that he deserves to be here. He also sees and drives with tons of other guys. If he thinks TJ could compete then I'm betting he'd do well. Dude shreds his two Zs

[@calmdudethisisindonesian]

Lz❤❤

[@michaelfagan6123]

So silly question. How come FD doesn't allow the big wings?

[@LEFTY073]

Think it was from a photographer getting clocked by one at Long beach a few years back.

[@Vert344]

Wings are only allowed at tracks with no walls near the course. So like a ATL, or a Utah. Any track where a rear end is going to be on a wall they're not allowed to run wings. They made this a rule after so many teams/cars were blowing wings off on Fences and walls at Long beach and other courses some years ago.

[@michaelfagan6123]

@@Vert344 if that's the logic behind it then they might as well tell them to take the bumpers off as well lol.

[@MrGatorsfan2010]

@@michaelfagan6123the big take away with the wings was due to the possibility of them coming off an causing problems for the chase driver an safety for ex when lz chased down martin richards a few years ago at mondello his hood flew off an cracked the windshield.. reasons like that are why FD an DM have the rules they do.

"which drivers are better"

well, considering the only two drivers to ever win threepeat titles are both european (Deane and Wiecek) The answer is clearly driftmasters

[@lucasnatson6536]

Adam said GTR but was it R34? Im watching every single vlog for years, he isnt so happy bout r34.

[@DavelyDriven]

And to think Chastain did it on purpose lol

[@G_Ozare]

Matt Field hands down dirtiest driver in FD

[@turbocateyeS475]

Dudes that seem "too nice and wholesome" are usually the ones who do bs like that. Having to pull dirty moves just to get a win is crazy. Being proud about that win is even crazier. Nate Hamilton is the only exception to the "too nice" rule. Nate seems like he's actually a genuine and caring dude.

16:30 dude... james in DM was in his hero car, and couldnt win... in FD on his second year of that car he won by miles... that explains you the difference of competitiveness... its not by mistake sometimes they have a top16 90+ run qualifiers...

Not sure what you're talking about ,james won round 2 in DM .....he missed the 1st round and still ended the season in 3rd only 28 points down ....

@@JustTex only 28 points because lauri broke last round... And on FD he won by how much? On a car hes less used to... You can see its much harder nowadays to win a DM round than and Fd... This because piotr this year is struggling otherwise what iam saying wasnt even a discussion... Not to mention the qualify that hás dozens ir 90+ runs... In fd you have like 4 or 5... By adams reaction when he talked about the tire you should have realised it is just different...

@@P4FEltonSorry i don't care if you think apples are the same as oranges.In your first comment you said "dude... james in DM was in his hero car, and couldnt win..." which was clearly wrong and if you can't get that right everything else you say is just an opinion

@@JustTex i meant the Championship... Obviously hes a contender everywhere he goes, but there os no denying he hás to work much harder on DM than FD... Too many good drivers...
