My E36's First Laps in Formula Drift - Long Beach

The world wanted to know how the E36 could hang with the big dogs - and so did I. It's been an amazing trip so far and I can't wait for comp!

Shout out to drift games very sad to hear about the loss the car community has your back.

[@yackzVR]

i learned about the fire threw this comment its so horrible that the fire happened im speachless

I feel so bad for them, they just finished their shop and it was so awesome!

@@yackzVR I'm sure many share your sentiments just devastating.

@@JosephJonesboy88 very sad indeed it is definitely going to be a long and hard road back there a some things that can never be replaced it just sucks.

Bruh they have insurance I’m sure they didn’t lose anything other then sentimental value

Drift games will be back stronger than ever

[@kennethporst4359]

I pray they find a way to rebuild that DREAM grey car they had.

Use me as a don't care button

[@Thatone440Indy]

I still can’t believe what happened with drift games😢

[@rushsnipez1312]

What happened?

[@stxticnathan6627]

​@rushsnipez1312 the hq burnt down along with the cars

[@DJDilemma1]

LZ should do a charitable drop with a Drift Flames hoodie or something to help them out. I reckon people would rather help out by purchasing merch than giving to a gofundme

[@nikeking2213]

yea its really sad...

[@pieterdelaet6572]

Is Adam lz e36 also gonne ?

[@DomGongas]

Shout out to dave and the drift game boys

[@chrisgoddard6045]

Shut up

[@carlooooo0]

Love the more personal style of this video. Don’t need the fancy camera all the time. iPhone is just fine.

[@az.legacy]

The fact that Adam has a bike that matches his car is the coolest thing to me

[@alexisjavier84]

I dont blame him after running them 1100hps rtrs haha

[@Jonrichdelacruz]

I can definitely see Adam being more comfortable in the E36 compared to the other two chassis. He’s hitting the zones with ease. But like he mentioned the power is kinda struggling, and the cars in FD are insane… another copy of the drift masters e36 would be beast, but very costly. Goodluck to Adam this weekend tho!

[@ergopropterhoc]

the driftmasters e36 likely wouldn't make weight for FD - there's a minimum weight of 2700lbs

[@nathensantiago3785]

I'd go as far to say this he has done his absolute best driving in that blue car. Im 31 been watching since I was like 18 and its the e36 and then his cresta in Japan are what he drives the best in.

[@makiahkimber1594]

@@nathensantiago3785 he was also very comfortable in his cream S13

[@Jonrichdelacruz]

@@ergopropterhoc That’s true. That thing is crazy.

[@nathensantiago3785]

@@makiahkimber1594 except the s13 doesn't really perform as great on top of it I think he's done tearing that car up with competitive driving. That's his baby but I do agree

[@anthonypace3979]

adam goes "i think it needs more power" and then proceeds to go and run a super fast lap and keep away from ppl in tandems

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

the passenger camera perspective is absolutely terrifying XD 14:05

[@HondaorBust]

This is maybe my favorite car in existence. The sounds and looks are unmatched

[@andremanley7710]

Duuuude you killed it! I’ve watched every season of FD you’ve done and I don’t think I’ve seen you look that comfortable and consistent at Long Beach. Stoked to see how you do in comp! I’m predicting a couple rounds! Good luck, Adam 🤞🏾

[@KathereenClouse]

The camera and mic setup you have going is freaking sick, would be sick to have the same setup in practice and qualifying

[@eel1331]

Adam pushing an e36 to its limits, pedal to the metal is the best shit ever

[@bseider5387]

I knew Adam would drive like a beast in the E36. Something about that car just fits his driving style. Cant wait to see how it stacks up against the rest.

[@Amelie-eh3jc]

Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!

[@Criscitiello]

Crazy how much the rear end was tearing apart

[@justaguy5791]

every e36 has those issues ive seen 318is's have rear subframes and shock towers rip and 318is is a slow e36

[@Genwonspeed3]

Yeah, not made for the power he makes but they plated it up like a tank so it should be good now.

[@Sammyzuko]

This car has been involved in several collisions, so not surprising

[@glennmartin2403]

Loving the relaxed commentary throughout - shows the talent to do and talk with ease

[@TheTemptedProduction]

Love seeing all the heaters you threw down 🔥🔥

[@999Crazyy]

WE WANT TO SEE IT ALLLLL!! Really like seeing what all goes on during a race week from all disciplines. It's so cool to also see how much your driving has improved over the years, especially from FD. Since you seem quite comfortable in the chassis I think you'll be quite competitive this year. Really looking forward to your European career this year as well in drift masters.

[@IDv8I]

I want to see everything LZ, It's great to hear your technical breakdown of the runs and car. Good Luck this weekend.

[@kalebfreegard377]

Straight up some of the best laps I have seen from you at Long Beach! 🔥

[@shallowphoenix]

Nice to see the footwork that goes on while you’re driving!

[@ChrisHyla]

Honestly I wanna do any drift related things in the future, it's just so fun and adrenaline pushing that it makes it even seem fun.

[@aneuryalgarin2175]

Damnnnn The E36 is rippin good luck this weekend .!!!

[@F32_PDX]

Glad you brought back the foot cam 👌 shows the amount of footwork that goes into serious shredding

[@2jyeti909]

Dam Adam is looking real good in the e36. Already better than the RTR mustang.

[@GSMMW]

Car looks great on track; that second lap was fire.

[@Jon64scale]

LZ sick vid the E36 is an absolute ripper and sounds incredible 👌 and shout out DrfitGames glad everyone is okay i know it sucks but remember cars and stuff can be replaced lives cant 🙏 keep your heads up were all here for yous and i know yous will come back stronger than ever and LZ keep up the great work 👍

[@romanduhalde3611]

It would be sick to see more of the feed back you give to the team and what you thought on a run

[@DJR3M1XX]

Good luck out there tomorrow Adam! You're already looking a hell of a lot more confident coming into this season hoping you crush it!

[@PGHdrift]

How simple the end result to driving good is enjoying it. Killer job

[@Chickenorange66]

I was there in long beach both Fridasy and Saturday. Was awesome to see this car sideways and get second in the seeding bracket! Congrats on the success and bummer in the run with Tuerck

[@azannascar9687]

All the car influencers should make a collab merch to help the drift games

[@Budgetmods]

Glad to seee you seem a lot more relaxed behind something you know you can control

[@Hypershiftmediajake]

Super hyped. I live 4 miles down the road i was riding through on the bike checking out the progress today (Wednesday) hyped for both days of the event! Got tickets for both days and the track walk 🤘

[@6MILLZ9]

Amazing views Adam, Thanks for bringing us along

[@ChawWee208]

So excited Adam is doing FD again this year

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

So glad to see you shred this chassis! Very high level of competition, so still need to be on your toes, but looks like an amazing experience to say the least!

[@jonathonrose8398]

I love your message to drift games And we definitely need to do something to help them get back on their feet and adam you are a absolute legend and I know you can help us come gather and do this

[@jtmayes82]

By far the most comfortable Adam has looked at Long Beach. Stoked to see you compete this weekend. Good luck brother!

Looking good brother! Angles are ridiculous!! I bet it's a blast driving your baby around that track! 🤙🍾

Mike is fucking killing it with the mastering in these videos. The blends from Adam talking to the out of car mics is too clean!!

[@EvanGunStuff]

Rip Drift Games HQ :(

[@pentagon7095]

Yo Adam I just wanna say thank you for making the content. The drifting really has inspired me, even tho that I probably will never be able to drift an actual car. But I saved up to buy a steering wheel and a race seat for a racesim setup for my pc! Love from the Netherlands!

[@Cgtlfa]

That front camber with those tires and rims looks so freakin good!!

Dude you are RIPPIN. Can’t wait to see the comp!

[@uncommonclub6019]

Looking good out there!

[@mapii00]

This was one of the best videos in a long time. Just fun content, no 10 minutes of boring cinematics

[@builtdifferent3123]

It's crazy that he came from bmxing to a legendary drifter respect

[@pAnchocrack92]

This is the chassis that Adam drives best for sure, definitely the most seat time car also, plenty of time to try new things, etc. It's better developed, and you can see that him as driver is more confortable on the e36, keep it up bro!

[@extremecheddarswityomom]

You had a great run in the freedom 500.

[@tinayarhind-su8ms]

Sick driving bro looking good much love from Australia

[@BenHut69]

“Look, I got John” “Huuuuhhhh?”😂😂😂 love these guys. Vibes this video were immaculate, car looks like it performed very well. You drove amazing, excited to see you perform. Look way more comfortable in the 36

[@leosenpai9380]

Such a savage. Happy to see you in the e36 out in Long Beach

[@TallicaOne]

I’m so fucken hyped for this round of FD Adam in his own built car, those few laps we seen you were laying down some mad lines. Keep it up bro 🔥🔥

[@noahkovalick4884]

Looking forward to seeing this in person on Saturday!

[@OlsonGarage]

Surprised Chelsea didn’t warn you about that rear crash structure. I had mine designed in cad and the first thing he told me was that it wouldn’t pass tech.

[@rickrussell579]

Chelsea's busy with his Porsche lol

[@WigneyR]

Gotta learn some things on your own bud

[@tylerlacey7206]

Gives me 2017 vibes watching this video, I love it

[@calvinholbert5132]

The amount of angle on a few of those transitions is insane !

[@jaygood87]

Heart breaking to hear what happened to drift games hq... please make sure you get some sort of fire suppression in the garage where you keep all your cars

[@brentpadgett7178]

I really am excited to see you run this track in the e36 going to do well. You seem more at home in this car and see more confidence as a driver. If you really well you should consider the next rd of FD!!!

[@Joshua-rp3tm]

love howw happy u look in these videos, i miss this style man...just u shopwing up to comp events with a iphone camera (or mike) and having fun(msaking jokes in the pit and carrying us along for the ride....i feel like when u were with rtr it wasnt fun it would just be u showing up driving nd talking about it and thats it...i hope youre like thids in aDMEC too...u will have all ur boys so hoepfully...I also feel that u drive way better wwhen ur around ur friends and in this setting

[@jordangarneau8817]

Looking super fluid yet rowdy . A recipe for excellent scoring . Personally looked like adam was hanging with the other drivers , sacrificing some line , but dialed as a driver in this chassis .

[@keensteezetv6848]

Can’t wait to see this in person on Saturday!! LB represent 🫡

[@christopher5110]

It’s amazing how much more confidant you look in the 36 🎉

You look really good in this car.

Only ever a couple times where ive thought… Adam looks dialled in in practice. This is one of them.

[@matts5859]

Damnit I love that this car is running with the big dogs!

looking right at home in the 36 adam good luck this year!
