My Best Finish Yet at Formula Drift Orlando (2024)

[@tdolan500]

That Shanahan Vs Lz battle is what it’s all about. Good as it gets.

[@kasper_429]

Best battle of the weekend. If FD had a "Fight of the Night" like UFC does, it would go to that battle.

[@CoyGarage]

Can't wait to see it in Drift Masters

[@kasper_429]

@@CoyGarage DMEC is gonna be so good. I can't wait either. Adam's DMEC E36 is like the God Mode version of his FD car. I can't remember if they put nitrous on that car though. It might not need it with the weight difference.

[@ChrisAdams180]

@@kasper_429 I think a lot of what they're learning from this car will be added to or changed on the Europe car, its going to be crazy!

[@Joebobinator]

​@@kasper_429 I'd be surprised if they don't put nitrous on the DMEC car, Adam was saying he doesn't need the power but it helps the car light off faster which seems useful no matter how much your car weighs

[@noahwayne5604]

Regardless, the LZ/Shanahan seeding battle was one of the best I've ever seen!

[@sirmonkey1985]

seeding 16 imo was better than the actual main event.

[@billhouston3500]

That was mental I came to the comments surprised not more people are talking about that

[@jessebecool1189]

I yelled so loud when you got the win against Forsberg it scared my dog and my wife. Good luck the rest of the year at Drift Masters...I'll see you guy's in Poland 🇺🇲 🇵🇱

[@klm2fm4]

Insane that Forsberg had 2 two tire offs and what’s his face tried to still find an excuse for him

[@AlyssaHooper-mp6bq]

They were the only two drivers I had sign my hat before they were even set to go against each other in the bracket, the stands erupted when LZ took it

[@MicajahMcCurry]

Dude. You look soooooooo good in that car. It’s the first time I’ve seen you truly confident in the car. Confident and consistent.

[@j.d.8593]

Well, that's what a lot of seat time on the same car does to you!

[@WyattWill]

Yeah, he has more laps in that car than any other car. But he never really seemed to *want* to get comfortable in the Mustang compared to James, who got a Mustang to practice drifting in Ireland so he would be more comfortable in it.

[@ChrisAdams180]

@@j.d.8593 100% agree, I think the chassis is better too which def adds to the level of confidence.

[@that_blobeye_sti]

@@WyattWill not to mention the fact that james dean is just a better driver

[@WyattWill]

@that_blobeye_sti Sure, but James seemed visibly uncomfortable in the Mustang last season. Before this season he got a Mustang (non-1000HP) for Ireland and since then now it's been nonstop podiums for him.

[@j.d.8593]

After all these years, Adam FINALLY managed to win a battle VS Forsberg! 😂😂

yeah Adam's been competing in FD for 20 years now if that's what u mean 😅🎉

@@DMN4T8 In the past 5 years/seasons (2020-2024), Adam has faced Forsberg 7 times, this is the first time he won a battle VS him.

[@matt5g]

Adam vs Shannahan were imo the best runs of the entire round

[@kasper_429]

Same! Such insane runs for both dudes.

[@jorgesantana6111]

Adam I really think you should do e town in the e36 you won there last year you’ll take it home this year too

[@xxroadkillxx]

100% This comment needs more likes to get it up there, he’s driving so confident, if he did a full year this year, and did it again next year, I’d bet money he could challenge the top 8 drivers in points

[@gwc_garage]

Unless the judges listen to jarod screaming in their ear about every single little mistake he makes

Brother seriously, what you are doing is Fkn insane, competing in pro formula drift with the big boys in your own build car and small team. You're pissing people off out there for sure !! I hope you doing a lot more rounds ! Very proud.

[@jamalwaterford]

Mike, that transition between the seeding bracket podium and the E36 backing in was clean.

[@powergray8682]

What time was that?

[@MMORPG87]

Awesome runs LZ. You NEED to be logging EVERY run, even if car is running at 150%.

me too!! 🔥

[@XxTCOBBxX720xX]

Adam i know the FD stuff may be a a big commitment but it's always awesome seeing you not only hang with these guys but prove that you belong there. As a driver and as a team you guys are always killing it. Please keep doing FD in the future!

[@lucasbyrnes6389]

yo mike that shot after the hately battle with the blue light bouncing off the trailer was straight FIRE

[@ChrisAdams180]

First I have to DAMN the Shanahan battle was Insane! Some of the most exciting drifting I've seen in a while. Second the E36 has been a car that Adam has always seemed so confident in and I love it! From Klutch Kickers to FD it has always been a good car. Looking forward to seeing the new chassis go absolutely ham in Europe!!!

[@RustyShackleford9000]

Dude, SO STOKED for the drift masters arc

[@kylevang8579]

Absolutely killing it Adam even with all the mechanical issues! Keep killing it man!

[@Franklin-b7s]

Seeing the kids enjoying and growing up around this awesome mechanics and drivers feels my joy 😊

[@dariusboykin750]

Let’s go I love these videos they never disappoint. Especially with the editing makes you feel like you’re there hope I make it next year !

[@bigbeard134]

After watching you kill in this car during klutchkicker , I always thought this was the best car for u to run and your proving that 🤙💯

[@zachstoppelmoor4454]

We love watching you drive the e36 Adam, it is night and day difference how much confidence you drive this car with and how comfortable you look in it compared to any others

[@covertdestroyer]

Nice retaliation against forsberg and his stupid brake check at the start. Dude always tries to cause accidents and shit. He has slowly become my least favorite driver. I’d like to see you compete a full season in the e36.

[@a_seanboi1318]

there’s a slight decel allowed on entry as your setting up the car for the bank, plus Chris’ decel lights didn’t come on on entry Calm down lmao

Matt field still holds that spot for me, and has for years

[@ophbmystik]

@@a_seanboi1318ok but everyone knows these decel lights are fuckin placebo

[@djwilliams4714]

Do the decel lights include the hand brake?

[@j.d.8593]

Not denying that Forsberg hasn't done some sketchy brakechecks before, but i can assure you, that was not it, there is a slight decel allowed for the lead driver on entry, that was nothing out of the ordinary in Orlando.

[@hillbillywes100]

appreciate you talking about what you are changing on the car. Like the tec h stuff!

[@Danger-Dave]

As close to perfection as I have ever seen Adam drive, he's in his element in that E36 chassis and it shows! Hats off to the LZ team. Ging at 33:52 😂

[@redgtr]

I understand this year, but I do agree with a lot of these comments saying do a full year. You and Chelsea alone brought such a big fanbase to FD, and combine that with the fact that you're holding your own and not winning just because the other driver washes out or shuts down

This video will go down in history in the Adam LZ book lol your driving is insane!!

[@DNASocial]

I really wish you were doing a full season. You looked so good out there and I genuinely think if you did a full season in that car that you could contend for the championship or at the very least be a top 5 in the championship. I really hope that if that was your last fd battle with that car that it's because you build a car that suits you even better. Great job this season and now time for you to go out and kill it at drift masters! Good luck man

THAT SHANAHAN BATTLE WAS INSANE, O7 can't wait to see you progress more in this car.
