Drift Masters Finland | Most Challenging Drift Track in Europe?

Hi everyone, we are back again in the middle of probably my busiest season yet. I decided to compete at Drift Masters Finland after seeing how crazy the fans are from watching the event last year and it did not disappoint. Even in the most changing weather conditions the finish fans came out in force, the atmosphere was insane! The track was so much more challenging than it looked in videos and it caught many out including myself but we kept on pushing and I am pumped to get another Podium this year! I hope you all enjoy and see you in the next one from Goodwood Festival of Speed! Thanks for the support, JD

Lauri said live after the competition that winning the best was a much bigger thing for him than winning the first competition. It says a lot how much Lauri appreciates you.

[@Edohahaha]

This was easily one of the most entertaining events to watch. The amount of tension with each qualifying run and battle was just insane, I had no clue who would win

[@alexdillon5348]

I kinda hated it, the track was undrivable in the rain making like 80% of the wet quali runs were basically just filler carnage scoring like what, an average of like 70? And then every dry run was like an 80+, so the drivers that got only wet runs kinda get kicked down the order for no reason other than the weather. I dont know if rain delays make sense but it was frustrating seeing the difference in scores between wet and dry, like, of course the dry runs are gonna be better but to let them in the show over drivers who got only wet qualifying just kinda takes the spirit out of qualifying. Turns it from actual skill to: who can get the best conditions for their run

[@jouhki1920]

@@alexdillon5348Lauri got it, best driver on the grid. Now when his car is same level than others. No one can catch Heinonen.

[@camracing1366]

My attention span is terrible but I was still able to watch all of qualifying it was a crazy event

[@prrevil]

Top 4 between you and Lauri Heinonen was one of most memorable motorsport moments i have ever witnessed. Thank you for coming to Finland 😊

[@jyrajyra527]

I'm glad you decided to skip rest this time and come to Finland 😎 It's just incredible to see best of the best here in north, what a weekend!

[@joshfosho]

the shot where youre watching the team fix the car after practice and you say "oh look at that" to the damage has got to be the equivalent of a proud parent watching their kid do something cool lol

[@828Drifts]

The Machine Deane! My favorite driver

[@PHUSII]

Was surreal to see you in person for the first time ever. Thank you for coming to Finland and hope to see you here in the future also!

[@spamandsazon]

Halfway through the FD and DMEC seasons, Deane has podiumed (or won) every single event (including OIDC) he's competed in this year. A legend-solidifying year already.

[@garvan79]

What an event lad 😮 amazing fans, congrats on podium tnx for video ❤

[@BurgerWorldn1goodn4u]

I enjoyed the view from the outside of the car and using the audio from inside, great edit.

[@djstizl]

This was the craziest drift event I've ever seen. Well done on the podium finish! I was in total shock when you spun during qualifying, but I knew you'd pull through!

[@TMPaleon]

Lot of drivers sais that drifting is all about driving for fans. For a perpective of a fan, the finnish stage was was everything for the fans. Changing conditions, wet and dry, crashes and clean runs. And the home favourite won.

[@Insomnia_e46]

Thank you for coming to Finland this year! ❤ It was such a pleasure to finally meet the machine himself in person and seeing the s14 flirting with the walls, hope to see you again next year! 🥰

[@noelk9063]

Well done James and the 130 Team. Some edge of the seat moments. Great 3rd place result .

[@columroche5216]

Savage driving as always James, very close battle with Lauri, genuinely thought it was a one more time, who ever hit u 30feet after the line in practice needs a serious talking to, that cud have been so much worse

[@WarrenMeinking]

To say that conditions were treacherous I think is an understatement, also that hit in practice 30ft after the finish line was bonkers and unnescessary. Certainly one of the most unpredicable events weather wise I have seen in a long while.

[@User-gd5un]

Glad you keep coming to Goodwood almost every year! You are always the smoothest and most entertaining drifter at the festival!

[@afaulkingham4130]

this track is my fav when its dry, but wow what a story the weather created for way too many awesome teams.

[@Rmx2011]

That was an amazing event!

[@TheCaRrBoNn]

This event looked super challenging but was so gripping to watch everyone battle the changes in weather and terrain. As always James, truly inspirational driving, the angle coming over the bump into the last corner you were getting on some of those runs was crazy, and running the wall almost all the way round the first corner nearly every battle. Great driving man, throughly entertaining video

[@silentwalkthroughs6193]

@@columroche5216in the full video James drove his car up to his bumper and was yelling at him

[@reelizt]

Hey James, can you do a video on explaining why you use more hand break in the chase than left foot break like for example, Connor Shanahan? This is definitely a question coming from curiosity and not judging your performance. And id ask why he uses more foot brake rather than hand brake. Genuinely interested in your take.

Dude you did grand all things considered , good job . I have an opinion of this track , and its all bad , that first corner in the wet was a black hole , how much good money was wasted on the first corner ? no chance to see real skillz on this track in the wet . best thing was the Finnish fans who made the day for the drivers . be safe from south Dublin

[@2MDP]

u want easy track to see real skills? just watch all top8 runs and u will see what pro drifting looks like. :) I think all top8 runs were on dry, u can argue any track is bad when wet.

[@sersanmayor6340]

yow yowwww why all my comments gone?

[@joz1751]

for a pro level track it really needs to be resurfaced

[@teemukalatie3033]

Then it would be easier to drive. Great drivers Will handel hard tracks.

[@shanehamilton6404]

Fact👌 that first outside zone is a joke, dry or wet

[@2MDP]

amateur level tracks are 2D and need resurfacing. Pros have slopes, jumps etc. Check Lauri Heinonen first qualifying run in this event when its full wet. (perfect run) Dean just missed wet practice. When dry it is awesome track (arguing any track is bad when wet), and everyone got 1 dry qualification.

[@joz1751]

im more saying for the fact so there isnt any incomplete runs, the drivers have to atleast be able to drive the track with some consistency to be competitive eh ?

[@wi1h]

@@joz1751 there were only incompletes because of the rain (and the lack of a lot of practice in the rain at that). the surface isn't good, sure, but it's not what's causing the incompletes
