[@johntrataris8731]

Yugo hugging his dada melts the heart ,

[@rxse_au7326]

2:30 in the morning in QLD I’m watching this. I’ve been waiting Sam

[@lavariomiller4406]

Likewise brother. Happy for you @Sam

[@grobabastreeter]

What a banger

[@Bimshelfahdwelf7973]

Bro I’m from QLD Too small world man

[@jordanphillips8642]

I definitely agree with the judges call but glad to see the car is mechanically sound now it’s just down to learning the setup and dialing it in

[@rikrocket4618]

Let's go Sam respect to you watching from England UK keep at it your crushing it

[@joshdobson2737]

Had to watch that flick 30 seconds in a few times...👌👏👏👏💪

[@mornayappolis]

It’s cool to see Yugo at the FD event , Goodluck on the rest of the season!

[@pumbaatim]

Sam, My wife an I were watching the stream. She can definitely tell you are more comfortable in this car. You hit the nail on the head. Take more time getting feedback before heading back out. Your progression is really improving. Its been fun watching you and Ruddy get better and better through the years. Keep it up!

[@jumpnjack808]

Congrat's Sam. you did did a great first event.. head UP and stay STRONG...

[@brandon33371]

Isnt this his second

[@brian953994]

We are all along for the journey! You are killing it and the results will come but until then we are enjoying the content. Good luck at the next event

[@riddlemethis01]

Hey Sam, you're driving a new car in every sense of the word, engine, suspension, brakes and steering. Cut yourself a little slack, we're all still riding with you just get to know your new platform.

[@Fqtz0r]

Congrats on doing your first round of FDJ1 ! Even without a qualification, the raw data collected from this round is imo pure gold and gonna be helpful for the rest of the season. I wish you the best for the next rounds. I'll be watching and cheering for you and Daiki !

[@chrishedger7341]

You need a full time hype man like rudnik on board this season. It was great to see him supporting you, and i can only imagine the impact it has on your confidence and overall mood. Keep it up Sammit! Were all here for you.

[@user-qn9js7vk3x]

Watched the live stream an honestly i felt your second run should not have been a zero but youll have that on the big jobs keep up the progress sam

[@Nelsea7190]

bro, that white area on the inner driver door/body area is so bad. around the door latch point is jarring. that father/son time was very sweet and adorable.

[@mikellewis2346]

Learning is liven life to the fullest...... Your a father, husband and a team leader thats driven at the highest level of racing. Your definitely doing perfect bro!!! 💯🙏

[@steve45]

The step up to FDJ1 was always going to be a big one. As long as you continue to see/feel the progression you need to take it as a win. Big leagues now! The judging looks brutal, seems like you have to be 100% on your A game at all times. So glad to see you learning and building on your skills. Better luck next round I'll be tuning in to watch again!

[@hillbillywes100]

Congrats, You have the right attitude to succeed, Thanks for sharing about being down on power. As an arm chair tuner and suspension guy I thought I saw you gripping up and the engine lugging more than I thought it would. I'm older and have excepted my reality, but I'm learning from watching and get enjoyment from that.

[@duanebailey6253]

He had plenty of power. It was simply not enough seat time to get the line right. So he had to make adjustments. Happens to everyone though.

[@Guilherme4KFPS]

Looks to me that your car lacks Rear downforce, maybe you could add a wing like James Deane S15, or an small tuck tail like Piotr Więcek that may help to equalise your car setup.

[@stevierea70]

You have the car, you have the skills, you have the team support and, like you have eluded to yourself, all you need is the experience. Re: your mental state, you are a very balanced individual who’s mindset is one of having the want to learn, ask questions and be able to take criticism and then use that to improve. Overall, you have made the correct decision for YOU to race in this particular league and you will improve every single time you set foot in that car you have but. Brilliant work Sam and the team, onwards and upwards 💪

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Sammit. Sammit hold your head up high mate take a deep breath and relax and next round you’ll qualify and probably win first place.

[@chillyman7340]

To be fair the amount of progress that Sam has made in such a short time is insane, we have seen his journey and he is right where he needs to be🏆

[@Jon64scale]

Sammit the OG S15 is looking incredible and sounds menacing 👌 also that opening drift clip amazing what an absolute tire shredder and i think you did phenomenal for your first time out with a new car 👍 keep your head up and youll be in that Winners circle and a Championship winner in no time keep up the great work 👍

[@emanuelespinolo7074]

Comp car looks insane with this new livery, especially the black back is just soo nice to see! Was fun watching!! Keep it up Sam!

[@texaspowerman]

Yogo is so big, your first time out getting a score is big. You’re driving with the best of the best with a new car on a new track. Great job and a great video.

[@BrutalBeast666]

I'm glad you are learning and enjoying it. That is always the best.

[@ryanrock6434]

You know who didn’t compete in FDJ1 anyone who’s complaining about you not qualifying. So stoked for you and your great success in not wadding up your car or blowing a 1000 hp motor you built with your own hands. Like seriously you built your pro car finally and no car problems at all like that so much of a bigger deal then qualifying at your first round. You were still hucking that whip around like a boss foot full down and the ass covered in smoke. Lets go sam

[@josh910]

Awesome mate! Progression isn’t straight forward with anything, you are killing it in every aspect. So good to see an Aussie doing what you do and going so far with it.

[@BobVu-qu8dr]

Sammit getting 0 in runs is such a tradition :D

[@NelsYouTube]

Yugo being there your mentally growth we saw no stress You learn so much and your progression Good job Sam

[@MichaelAverycarhauler1969]

Amazing progression Sammit! Car looks and sounds amazing!

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

The car came out amazing! A lot better now that you built it yourself. Was very much a difficult layout. Not very intuitive and not the best conditions. Most everybody was getting 0's. Great course to learn and it perfect to dial in the car! 🙌

[@ZeroSumHeart]

Lots of love Sam! Keep killing it!

[@GanjaNinja]

With 12 laps of practise it give you an idea of how little wiggle room you have. Congrats on your first FDJ event!

[@charliesnodgrass6788]

Looked great! Keep up the good work

You’re making steady progress Sam, this’ll be a good year!!!

[@Hiro_____]

It's great that you got 12 practice and you didn't get nervous, that's really important 👍

[@oldrcrich]

I was fortunate to get to take a couple laps at Fuji speedway this past January in an R34....it was so deceiving the elevations changes in that area that it was hard to really know your speed. I'm a total beginner and it was scary as hell so for me to see the speed you were going, let alone to do it sideways it just incredible. I have a total new appreciation for your driving talent. Good luck with the rest of the year!

[@BallisticSollution]

Great work mate, even though you didn't qualify you took lots away to apply to the rest of the season. Never stop pushing forward Sam!

[@Mich_Angel]

You did great for first time out in new built car, 七転び八起き falling seven times, getting up eight​ ( not giving up; keeping at it until one succeeds ) Keep up the awesomeness Sam ✨✨🥳👍✨✨🍀💚🍀

[@ShadowNatsumi]

love to see sammit just climb up the ladder keep up the good work mate I believe u can achieve greatness this season🥰

[@NEGAN_x75]

I’m calling now first place podium this year for Sam because I seen how hard he worked to get here and if he continues doing it he will get there….love you brother!

[@joeyjr4006]

Good for you my man you came a long ways God is good God is great 💯

[@austinrose96]

love seeing the progress man! keep it up and youll be on that podium soon enough!

[@landcruisertoyota3980]

Slow and steady. Small steps. Progression will come.

[@LawrenceSeetoh]

congrats on the progress Sam, for the 1st round I am glad you took so much from it.

[@teaddict-]

Your drifting has improved heaps since you did your first rounds in FDJ2, but I think by far the biggest improvements I've been seeing is how much stronger your mental game is getting. You seem way more relaxed and confident, and your outlook sounds way healthier. Like you were getting at, take your time and have fun with the journey, that's the most important bit after all, and don't worry too much about the rest, it'll come in time. :) Stoked to see you keep progressing!

[@Nyx_88888]

the Yashio pink really is nice

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Regardless Sam were proud of you, the progress youve made on the car is awesome, happy its feeling good out there. Better luck next round but we kno youll get it. The fact that Fausto didnt qualify for the first 3yrs at Fuji shows that turn is a make or break.

[@kriswyche]

i always see drivers struggling to perfectly run this course, props to you sammit, keep up the driving !!

[@jhmed9]

Watched your 2nd lap Live - I'm happy to finally have the explanation... I was so confused why you got the 0. It looked great to me. I had only the Japanese commentary and I couldn't understand a word. Congrats on your first event, you look so good out there that I'm sure it won't be long before we're watching the recap video for your first podium!

[@jeraldhite9744]

Great job, especially with a total new setup. New to you track.

[@SourBogBubble]

Thanks for the efforts! From joining after your first LZ appearance to now this.🤯

[@nicktrowbridge9606]

Your driving has improved so much Sam. And the car looks absolutely amazing. Great job bro 💪💯

[@etelking]

great job sam keep up the good work you got this👏🏾💪🏾

[@NyghtOwl13]

Great stuff and Great mind set bro... Let Goooooooooooo! on to the next

[@Mowgli1894]

Dude the commentary when you're drifting is absolutely amazing. Please keep doing that. It's nice to hear what's going from your perspective🤝

[@CPTZERO40]

Keep it up sammit !!! Can’t wait to see more videos

[@frankbellemare88]

The real competition for everyone is to be better than what you were the day before . Your progression is amazing and cant wait to see the next one . I think you should either invest or find a sponsor for headset so you can talk with your team all the time for advice . Keep up the progression and cant wait to see that car with all the pony free with the good tune

[@SpaceRanger187]

Good luck and no changing your style no matter what.. Send itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[@jacobmunoz7771]

Let’s goooooo, so proud of this guy 💯💯

[@pollyskirt1]

What a beautiful little boy ! loves his dad.

[@VanLifeKen]

U did great Sam. Proud of u

[@KamikrazyAce]

Growth is growth!!! Keep at it bro!

[@kilobravo584]

The opening sequence was awesome!!! This was awesome so happy for you man!! You are gonna go so Far!!!

[@gerpsu1772]

Car looks amazing and the engine

[@radders50]

It’s all good experience.. next time 👏

[@lavariomiller4406]

We go again @ Sammit. The Car looks Great!.

[@PGHdrift]

9:20 the attack and the aggression you can see it will pay off. Regardless of the downside.

[@boydgarageperformance3310]

Good luck sam 🤘

[@ryanstone1117]

My kids are ❤ on the roof . Dyllann , Chloe. They will grow with you ❤❤ . Progressing with your success 😊😊

[@GeneralZkar]

Watched the event live, stay strong and keep trying 😊, you got this👍

[@steviebsco]

Good luck next round Sam 🙌

[@quonniesmith6083]

It’s so dope that our kids are growing up at the same time hope your enjoying fatherhood as much as I am 0:43

[@jono6379]

Looked like a hectic track. You should see if okachan can set you up with a good chassis tuner and spend the day with them fine tuning the alignment to where it feels best for you. Can't wait to see how things progress and i know youll be on that podium soon enough😁

[@phils51]

It's all a learning curve, you got this

[@aqueleAntonino]

Congrats on the seat time and progress! I had seen in another channel that you were in the same bay as Fausto and I was happy to see you both interacting. His S15 is insane. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

[@joeltango6405]

I'm a Kiwi Sam, and if it wasn't for rugby league you'll be my favourite Ozzie in the world right now...👍👍👍 Love following you, following your dreams...keep it up young fella,for you and your family...🙌🙌🙌

[@isunamitch]

second qualifying run was perfect in my book too lol, they're so strict!!!! glad to see that S15 runs like a champ!!

[@ChristiaanDwiid]

Hey sam awesome run. Iove the new livery and more enjine power 💥

[@GanjaNinja]

Also that course looks extremely technical for a first go haha.

[@lawwardle6940]

7:14 in the morning first video to make the day.

[@cardrivedaily]

Fausto called it, harder than it looks, good effort lad! 👌

[@kma6667]

BIG UP's Sam good work and keep going mate..

[@iDreu]

15:46 esports and sports teams have a person specifically for keeping up mental health of the players, 100% something to look into could make a world of difference. Even a counselor or therapist just to talk to they can give you tailored advice specifically to help you.

[@PahiTaingahue-ud6fx]

“The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time”💯 Love your videos brother💯 watching from New Zealand ❤️💯

[@emmanmaniego6982]

still both sam and daiki did great!! progress is a progress!! LFG boys heads up!!

[@ScottyBSim]

Great justification, great experience, great support around you.

[@cingkole7893]

10:15 I guess the judges want you to left foot brake instead.

[@Ryenphosho]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@chitomendoza3528]

Keep at it till you get it! Great attitude.

[@mpmp318]

Hey Sam ! Feel bad for you for the short qualif. But the season just start !!! It was amazing! Can't wait for the next event ! Let's Go #11 !!!!! 🤟🔥🔥🔥

[@cj41079]

I'm so happy for you! ❤❤

[@josteincarlsen2905]

Good work. More experience in the trunk 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bifurcated666]

Just keep going dude footage is sick the car is very capable but will take a bit to properly weild, enjoy the journey

[@syedafnan3425]

Man all that hard work for not qualifying... Really bummed out... Was expecting at least a top 32 appearance... I threw my phone at the wall when sam missed that inside clip... Really sad and disappointed... Anyway love you sam... U got me into drifting... Working towards getting my first car... U are a great person and motivation... Hope to seeing you killing it in round 2

[@philmarsden9594]

sam

[@K_Swap_The_World_69]

Let's Gooooo!!! I was asleep when you went. 😬

[@f8stealer]

Keep it up Sam, you are on the right Track!! LOL

[@dhrida5518]

For a fresh build I would say it wasn't bad, these small mistakes always seem counter intuitive to do the right thing, but eventually with time I think you will find out for yourself, you should focus now on seat time, get used to the car when it's grippy and when it isn't, look on the bright side, the car had no issues, maybe next year you will be able to qualify as you have more experience, but as I said if I where you I would focus on seat time...

[@MrFilgri]

bro... car looks WIIIIILD!!!

[@Avichayil]

Yooo she looks quiiiick. GG on the car man ❤ it
