My Worst Crash Yet @ FD Long Beach

A difficult - but surprisingly fun weekend in Long Beach getting accustomed to our new S650 Mustangs as we drift the Streets of Long Beach! AS always - thankful to be a part of the team and to be able to bring you guys along for the ride. Every $5 spent on LZMFG.com gets you entered for a chance to win the Supra and $20,000 cash.

If he earned his way into FD he would have had to compete 1 or 2 years in Pro 2.. but instead he bought himself into FD, and Vaughn and Chelsea noticed and lets call it how it is, its a buisness decision from Vaughn, not a friend decision. 8 million new eyes in RTR and Ford Mustangs, also FD let him in most likely to get more viewers on events and it worked.. Live Streams went from 2-3thousand loyal Drift Fans, to being spammed by noobs that were only there to see LZ and FD loved it. But now, RTR is a drift team and they need results too, its not just about viewers, free views dont pay the bills..

I have to say it was awesome to get to come to Long Beach and see you compete in the first FD event of the season. I didn't see your crash but was in the lot when i seen them tow your car by and immediately wondered if you were ok. I was glad to find out you were. Love all you show in the video and how you talk about your runs and how you are still learning along the way. It gets to me when I see people post negatively about young upcoming drivers. It's all a learning experience to get to where some of those drivers are. Nobody starts out perfect and i love your merch... presuit of perfection! It was good to chat with you at the signing and with you and Vaughn at the pit party. My son has been following you for about 3 years now and hopes to someday be where you are. He has lots to learn and we're hoping he too will get to learn from the best along his journey. He's been fixing up his 350z we bought him and he'll be doing some lessons in Texas in June and Japan in July. Can't wait until FD in Orlando next month. Hope we get to chat again! Safe travels to you.

[@zedfender9423]

Agreed. But Adam needs to realise he got ability. He's made it to the big team now he got to shine. I hope he can pull his weight. I think his boss sees his ability.

[@cliff4695]

It's not about getting to his level. Hell he's not a pro driver. He's a blue collar driver. Not even sure he could succeed at pro 2 level

[@JaredBeaucage]

He got to the level with money and fans.. He never struggled to be so good at drifting that he went broke to go do.. Chelsea Denofa, did that, Vaughn Gittin did that, and James Deane did also, Adam started it because he couldnt find anything else after BMX and he wasn't remarkable at BMX, spent most of the time speaking to a camera. Which nothing wrong with that, but it really really shows and how annoyed Chelsea or Vaughn seem when adam is horsing around filming rather then putting 100% into the drifting. At the end of the day, Adam is on a team that is the best of the best and he shouldnt be there to the pure drift enthusiasts, million dollar team with a amateur driver that lets emotions get in the way of drifting. Adam Lz has loyal fans and FD needs young Fans so he was welcomed in and Gittin capitalized on this also, even if 10 fans out of 8 million subscribers buy a RTR every year, hes doing well. 8 million people young and oldbknow about a RTR mustang, and Formula Drift. Adam has realized this is not his calling and is looking at other avenues, instead of looking like a fool every weekend and always blaming the car, at some point its not the car it becomes the driver( and the drivers mind, the mind and feelings can ruin a FD run. . Its only 30 seconds but so many calculations are being done in that time frame and Adam brings it back to the car not himself.

[@JaredBeaucage]

Lets also talk about, Chelsea Denofa, Fredric Aasabo, Forest Wang, Ryan Tureck, James Deane, Daigo Saito, Deane Kearny, Chris Forsberg, Vaughn Gittin, all those drivers starved to become professional drifters. And notice they all go into kill mode when the battles come, they dont make excuses they take what they have and drive the car to its abilitys and rarely discuss car setup, why is that? Because drifting has not changed that much in 10 years, setups stay roughly the same and rear end gears and rebound are all pre-set and they make small adjustments and absolutely stab any other driver like Adam or the pro 2 drivers. Its a flick of the switch and they earned their right to be on the big stage.. Adam, he had fans and KZbin exposure. And yea sure he did drifting for fun but he looks great next to new drivers at grassroots events but absolutely clams up in FD, and doesnt focus on putting the car in the right spots. RTR and Ford want championships and LZ hinders that, 1 million dolllar team goes to the FD event to repair or tweak LZs car every round cause he complains about it and on camera Chelsea has literally got fed up and walked away last year. The energy is way off, a d thats big money to pour at a driver for nothing to come of it.

[@JaredBeaucage]

@KZbin Konto Thats exactly it.. and every event I hear Adam saying "i feel" and "i think" ... and denofa is always talking solutions, but Adam always wants to look for the excuse to why he cant drive Chelsea or Vaughns Setup.. so he gets Deanes Setup and loops it,, he has no experience in setting a car up for himself.. so he will never be a great in Drifting, like Daigo, or Chelsea or Deane... Maybe a Great KZbinr but in the drift culture, hes low on the totum pole.

[@Nicholas.m777]

They need to send the car home with Adam, and he needs to drive it around the compound as much as possible intill he's comfortable in it you can tell he's fighting to find his balance in the car

[@-deathdesire-2749]

adam has talked about this before but it takes so much money and resources to run one of those cars , even just for a few passes, that it’s just not worth it

[@timcozad6125]

​@@-deathdesire-2749 I bet it's a lot cheaper to total a car twice per round.

[@RyanCranage]

@@-deathdesire-2749 I remember Adam saying that too. But he is struggling in the Mustang. That is a fact. When you see how he performs in other platforms it’s not driver skill that’s the problem, It’s a lack of seat time. Adam could buy and run a RTR practice car at the compound regularly. Investing in his driving makes sense. He is a multi millionaire, if a RTR Mustang at the compound will help his driving. Then why not do that.

[@Jalan.Anthony]

Adam LZ: “i’ve touched on this topic a few times, but its pretty hard to explain. There are so many custom parts that make these cars drive the way they do… in order to activate the grip and make it worthwhile it would need to be 800hp+ and be a very similar chassis. The cost would probably be in the neighborhood of $200,000 and would cost roughly $10,000-$20,000 everytime the car runs which is just not feasible. Building a more simple car wouldn’t really translate anything other than vehicle placement - and wouldn’t be competitive or economical to drive from a consumables standpoint so i couldn’t see myself actively chasing it.” -Adam LZ, members only Q&A, April 9, 2023

Still processing that adam is competing in Pro FD its still seems crazy to see the progress from cream s13 to this. Much love to Adam and his crew along with the whole RTR drivers and crew!

[@AtomicPhoenix]

The whole crowd at the end cheering RTR was legendary

While the results this weekend might not have been ideal, you handled it very well, and you definitely learned a lot. 🤙🏼🤙🏼 Love seeing the progression.

If you and vaughn can facilitate a weekend to dedicated practice in the fd car i feel like you'd get as comfortable as you need. I understand that you guys both have busy schedules but its what would be best imo for you and the team

[@JaredBeaucage]

But he blames everything on the car!... at some point its not the car, at some point feelings and thinking need to go out the window. . Your there to drift, and win not think and feel.. every word is "i feel" and "i think"

[@willhutchins00]

if you look at adam’s chase behind tureck in practice it was pretty good. it was like ryan was kinda leading him to where he needed to be. it’s clear that he’s close, he just needs more chase runs to get a feel

[@JaredBeaucage]

@@willhutchins00 he can chase, but cant lead or lay down consistent runs

[@TacoRuns]

@@JaredBeaucage Just because you're close doesn't mean it's a good chase. Majority of the time he doesn't hit outside zones and cuts corners to stay on the cars. You have to hit outside zones while chasing which Adam never does. You can see that with Turecks run.

The LZ excuse pile is now seen from space and is growing. Luckily he’s getting better. Just need dad in there saying “don’t want excuses son!” 😂

[@caseywest5278]

Hard competition and tough outcome, but the right attitude to get through it and be better. Good job

[@ck3clipse997]

The biggest thing about competing is the transition from practice to game day in any sport. Keep doing your thing Adam In no time well see you winning chips #DONT GIVE UP U GOT THIS DAWG 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@LycheeMonstaMedia]

Wild accident. Such a tricky track.

[@nuaero]

Damm cant wait to see a rebuild vid

[@1JamesZ]

You’ve got arguably the hardest car to transition to. Stiff rigid s body’s to a car that moves so much under any input is a challenge. You’re learning dude and I guarantee you learnt more in this round than any other

[@rjchavo196]

Even the best crashed it’s all part of the game man , soo much potential and it’s coming out.

[@SMDFTB66]

Dude just needs to accept the fact he’s not good enough for FD. Every time he’s gets to the start line, you get stoked cuz it’s Adam and then he just chokes. EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@ConnorPawlowski]

hes far from the bottom of drivers...

[@SMDFTB66]

@@ConnorPawlowski and he’s also nowhere near the top bud. He’s mid. Mid af.

[@ConnorPawlowski]

@@SMDFTB66 there are drivers in pro for 10 plus years that placed lower than him... so a mid driver shouldn't compete? That makes no sense

[@SMDFTB66]

@@ConnorPawlowski there’s quite a few drivers that are on that mid list with him. Mohan bein one of ‘em

[@ConnorPawlowski]

@Chris Williams so that makes all of them not good enough to drive pro fd? Just using your words from the first comment.....?

[@maverick4177]

Just accept it, this is way above your ability you aren’t putting in the hours of practice like others are It’s like watching a rich kid who only got to drive a car he bought himself into and making excuses all the time like it’s experience

Vaughn is that dude man, hopefully you listen to his advice because he genuinely wants you to succeed. Great mentor
