I WRECKED my Corvette trying to beat James Deane in front of 12K fans…

Japfest 2023 was definitely the wildest one yet with some incredible driving, crazy builds and a whopping 12,000 people in attendance! Dave and Josh hit the track for the IDC finale and manage to get their best results to date but not without potentially ruining the two cars in the process...

[@nicholasgarson4247]

I think I can confidently say that I'm a Josh fanboy. Every time I see him drive I root so much for him

[@cuttersidwell]

I'm all about dirty Dave! I love his voice. He's an amazing announcer.

[@koshai0625]

32:27 THATS ME! 😂 Proudly supporting James Deane

[@joeym2675]

That was So Awesome Dave!! Seeing you make it that far and go against JD was A Amazing Time!!! I had Goosebumps the whole time seeing you get to experience that!!! I hate the Vette got beat up but WHAT A MEMORY YOU HAVE TO THINK BACK ON FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!! 🫶🇮🇪☘️

[@cuttersidwell]

Wow dave really impressive. You are a weapon with the Corvette. Excellent driving. And Josh I'm seeing huge improvements with your driving as well. Love the content. Thanks for posting! ❤

[@toomanycars4800]

It's so good to finally see both cars running! The corvette is a beast, and just like last year, when Dave finally drives it, it's a weapon! I hope we see more of these two being driven properly! There's been a lot of things happening on the channel this year, but not enough driving! (although i understand as driving videos normally get less views for some reason?)

[@Thewatson77]

How awesome that was for both of you! Josh you drove fantastic! Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Dave , I’m sure this will be a story that you share for the rest of your life. Congrats to both of you fellas! 🙌🏻

[@auralxtc]

What a great showing from Dave & Josh! Well done lads, super proud of both of you! DG 2023!

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

Youll be next Josh! You had it man. And congrats to Dave and also sorry about the Vette. Epic stuff guys!

[@KaisLife98]

I feel that was a nice close on the story of the two cars. Josh’s after years of battling the car to finally working and getting a great result for him. Dave’s to showing it can be a show piece and a competition car. Great work gents!

[@connorcody1999]

Such a great time, it was a pleasure to meet you Adam and get that picture, hoping to see you at the next event 🫶🏻

[@Fatz666]

Dave - I've got James Deane next!!!! Josh - Ooooohh Shhhiiiit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Watchmedome3017]

FUCK!!!!! This video got me emotional af! Dave vs dean holy fuck i almost shed a tear no bullshit.

[@evanschill492]

"It's James Dean next!"..."Oh shit!!" 😂 Best exchange I've seen on KZbin in a while. Congratulations Dave, awesome to see you shred! 2024 is around the corner, the more comfortable you get with the Vette, the better you'll do!

[@GSMMW]

Respectable finish boys! Hats off! Great driving Dave; great story lads!

[@NsKQuickie]

What a run Dave! What a run! Josh we're rooting for you, you've got this! Practice Practice and don't break that SR!

[@Elbowgrease250]

😢 man, seeing Josh’s progression in that car and getting the results and seeing Dave after so many years of hard work make it to the same place he use to commentate for brings a tear to your eye. Inspiration is a understatement. Honestly love to see it ❤

[@nxt.59]

This was one of the best drift event ive ever went to. energy was insane ❤‍🔥

[@eamonngeary8256]

You guys built some unbelievable cars. Really want to see more of them competing. Brilliant peddling 👌

[@lloydchambers390]

That shot of the Corvette full tilt James on his door. And that wing over the barrier needs to be on a poster

[@DNASocial]

You guys deserved a good weekend I'm so glad you got it! Josh and Dave both absolutely killed it with the driving and everyone else at the drift games team killed it with setting up the merch booth, recording, editing, and everything else that had to happen at this event. Fantastic work all around and I'm so happy for you all!

[@illnobi7722]

Great job lads! You all are amazing & thankyou for your time / content

[@Ste8888]

What a day!.Delighted to have been there, show cars were great and the battles were brilliant.Dave’s Corvette was my fav.

[@zenmedia2022]

[@G_Ozare]

Man this video gave me chills. YOu boys killed it... the whole Drift Games crew. Dave, you drove your ass off!!! LFGOOOOO!!!!

[@JZX_Nate]

Unreal driving lads, was roaring for yous from the grandstands 🔥

[@shanemayers777]

I hope you can drive at more events. You're a legend of an announcer at these event but it's awesome to see you getting after it.

[@SG.123]

Sorry I missed it in person, but so glad to have seen glimpses of it in this vlog. Fair play to Dave & Josh for giving it their all. That's all you can ask for!

[@Pauloconnellmotorsport]

Great vlog. Well done Dave and Josh. Great driving in effectively 2 prototypes.

[@big____rich4560]

You guys are the best. Fantastic video as usual, HUGE driving from Dave. Love to see it!

[@Paul.1088]

Well done lads, you both should be so proud of what you’ve accomplished 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dzzope]

Definately not the start of the story, hopefully not the end of it. I think it's "just" another chapter in the story... But what a chapter. Well done lads.. V well done. For both the driving at the weekend and all the work thats gone into it over the years and also for once again absolutely nailing the mix of vlog & smexy B-roll into a cohesive and compelling story. Yer class.

[@corymarchant7320]

Gotta say the performance Josh, Dave and Jimmy O put on this weekend was just inspiring. Yall have all progressed so much this year and all the driving youve done really shows! Congrats!

[@racergt4022]

Great job guys !! This is a great video !!

[@dapperdanbuilds]

Noce job lads! Congrats to both of you! Such a great showing!

[@paddymckenna7687]

Wow, wow, wow.........what an amazing video this was! I was glued to my tv watching it such amazing content! Dave, you need to give yourself one huge pat on the back! For this to come full circles and go on to compete extremely well in the comp you built was unreal!! Massive congrats even though James got the win on the night you certainly got the overall win for me!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@itsjustclev]

An absolute masterpiece of a content as always boys! I still get goosebumps watching you boys' videos! Very proud and happy to see how far Dave and Josh has come in terms of their driving. U guys should be really proud of yourselves! I would really love to come to Japfest one day 🙏 thanks for video boys! Much love from Malaysia 🎉

[@SWATA27]

Smiling the whole episode, well done boys!!! Best episode ever🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

[@TexasDmax_2k]

The production level and content you guys create and put out is absolutely legendary and top tier shiii. The fact that you guys aren’t growing at a much faster pace absolutely baffles me. Much love from Texas!!

[@garlenseong38]

Keep up the good work.. that was a awesome battle between Dave and James deene..

[@Stevie4KGaming]

Great job guys, You both drove awesome, This is just the start for those 2 cars, Can't wait to see you both compete again next year in hopefully more events. These videos are top notch, Lukas is a great new member to the drift games team

[@BalisongMasterer]

Looking forward to watching this video! You guys are pros at this!

[@LaMbErTJDMEG4]

It's amazing seeing Dave so excited, class big man must be some feeling

[@Worldopain]

Beautiful drifting my good sir.

[@dougieirvine3980]

Great to see josh and especially Dave enjoy the thing they have done so much for and we all love, drifting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤙👍

[@aaariif]

Man its awesome to see both bois go on full kill mode. Letsgooo DriftGames !!!

[@chickenjonte_]

Big respect to Dave for pulling a 90 run and going into Top 8.

[@octagon_009]

You guys did fantastic! What a show! ❤❤

[@MrFrogs_Games]

Dave for DM contender!

[@markusiltanen]

Great driving Dave & Josh 👌🏻

[@TeamStevers]

The traditional music at 20 minutes gave me chills. Mad edit

[@prestigiouscat3576]

Great job!

[@eoinconsidine1937]

Yih yih!! :P Dave your a weapon in that corvette! ;P

[@miketech2]

What an epic edit. Told the whole story so well. 👏🏼

[@mikefitzgerald7756]

Fantastic video guys, you both put on a great show and the video captures the drama perfectly 🙌🏻

[@weakie87]

Impressive stuff! Congrats guys

[@shanek4407]

Great video and great driving both of you guys well done lads. 👏

[@steveoe36]

Great video and congrats on the drive. Dave drove has ass off. Keep it up.

[@coreythomas6222]

Smashing it yet again guys! Keep it up 🤙🏼

[@texaspowerman]

Well done, Josh did an amazing job in the mx5, Dave was so much fun to watch, he’s better in the vlogs when he’s in a comp. Focused, happy, and a bit toned down on the hard sales pitch/announcer vibe that puts several of my friends off. LZFEST in Australia is coming up, hope to see Josh driving and it would be a blast to see Dave in a fantasy battle or two instead of full time in the booth. I’m sure DMAC can have the vette back in show car shape or will he keep it with the battle scars and the memories of how it got that way.

[@SammyRavage]

Just the opportunity to vs James Deane and the rush from the battle to the scars on the vette. Just has to an unimaginable feeling.

[@MScullinable]

This may be the best drift games video I've ever watched. Legit have goosebumps watching this

[@darrenharan9555]

The level of driving was somthing unreal.! 🤙🇮🇪

[@mrfinch6664]

So happy for you lads 😁 you should not doubt yourself in the future. you are both very capable drivers 💪 i think the corvette needs to be a comp car. Love josh but i feel like a better chassis would give him more chance to shine.

[@JKRmsrt]

Well done to you both and what a highlight to the year. Yous have done amazingly and i hope to compete against you one day!!

[@markglover100]

What can i say. Dave drove every panel off the corvette that car is so good. Losing to deane....well! And josh holy shit man the only thing you were missing was seat time. Unreal job in qualifying just missing chase experience. Well done lads love to see it ❤

[@steven0connor105]

Well done lads ! Great to see the cars going well, ye should be proud. Video is 10/10 too

[@jamiemcilreavy4827]

Thank you for giving us your story of a 200G loan to build 2 epic drift machines 😅 sounds insane but watching this video says it all come together and payed off and competing with the world's best you guys kept me sane through the covid period with these builds and the show has only grown and got even since better now building a legacy. thank u and keep bringing us the insanity and stress to us all

[@ChosenDan]

Hats off to the editor 😎 sick driving by everyone

[@mrtomottosam3790]

Great to see you both getting to actually compete in the cars, hopefully now we get to see josh dominate pro 2 next season he has the machine and with a bit of confidence, I think he could go the whole way

[@user-vy7pp8xr9y]

Saw the corolla this evening passing through Prosperous. Savage looking car in the flesh

[@allofmeirl]

What a event lads👌 Well done 👍

[@filsilva7213]

The wall tap with the corvette was 👌

[@johnrowell942]

Well done to you guys and the team. Was great to meet you at the BDC in 2021 and follow the journey of Drift games team.

[@user-mx7sl2hj4n]

I normally don't use language like this but the corvette dave is the most preposterous drift car in the world it looks un fuckin believable

[@filsilva7213]

Great video guys, keep it up

[@heffe17]

Well done to all the lads

[@mrtopramen]

[@meticulous_rc]

[@irishpaddy555]

The vette needs more competition action… no point than it sitting there parked..👍😄

[@DiggerDevil]

Well Done Dave! Amazing! TeaBrake clearly didnt get a decent brew all day so lacked focus. Looking forward to more comps, loving these episodes.

[@FourNineSix]

Gangster Bandana edit-------- 👌🏻💪🏻🏁. Well done lads great drifting!

[@michaelthompson7006]

Amazing guys. If drifting teaches you anything its ‘Never say die’ especially in ireland

[@Krynis]

Dave's vette looks more and more cool the more it gets damaged and it was already the coolest vette maybe ever.

[@davehillier4827]

Well done Dave bloody good driving to get beaten by James nothing to be ashamed of. Josh is coming on leaps and bounds keep up the aggression

[@fiachragallagher]

Well done Lads!!

[@Roltzz1]

[@phonetics8272]

Congrats you guys!!

[@caiminmcmahon308]

Well done lads done crazy well with very little seat time this year! Just the start I'm sure. Has to be said too that the quality of the vlogs since bandana got involved is brilliant too 😁 not that it was bad before but definitely up a notch now👌

[@trevg89]

[@andy2200a]

Lucas - "lets check out the cars" Checks out the girls

[@FM7ZERO]

Ireland drifting is so much better than american, the commitment in that first turn is insane. Keep up the great work👽🖖

[@conchgarage]

I'm going to hold it together, because I'm an adult. Man I felt that haha
