Formula DRIFT Irwindale: Top 16 Through Finals

In case you missed it, here's the Top 16 through Finals from Formula DRIFT Irwindale!

[@coryhalvorson8874]

I drove 2040 miles from Wisconsin to California to see this live, worth every minute. Even got to meet Ryan Tuerck.

[@exiledone8945]

One of the better FD events I've seen this year!

[@dontreadmyusername3321]

It was good, but a shame so many events were just by runs

[@smullx_]

I can’t wait to watch all these videos again in the future. Can’t wait to see where the sport goes.

[@chomin3025]

A yo, coming for them flashbacks

[@smullx_]

@@chomin3025 quality content lol I’ll fall asleep watching these runs

[@Themayseffect]

unquestionably one of Dai's best drive of his career. Must have got a Yokoi driver mod 😁

[@georgeyougha9278]

congratulations matt field its been awhile sense drifting has been this fun to watch

[@ElMosqito]

If thats full HD video, rest videos on yt must be som 998754643K ultra hyper mega superduper HD gazylion pixels

[@oisinmcdaid]

I can count the pixels with my hands.

[@IshoGT]

It was fine untill the stream went down for almost half an hour during Top 32. After that they resorted to potato quality. Shame really.

[@alikavousi6962]

=)))))) thats fucked up

[@javajack9197]

Aasbo got screwed over. First run was not his fault and his lead run was very strong. I remember Wang losing a battle he obviously won over Forseberg. Starting to believe this was Forseberg's year to win and everyone else to lose... Conspiracy? I don't know. And a very big congratulations to Matt Field.

[@Wildchildinc]

Dai really had a pretty good comeback this year considering the past few years being troublesome.

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

tuerck rode the edge of that wall his entire first run

[@siko142]

this is the first time i have ever rooted for Matt Field

[@brandondeel3567]

You gonna post the top 32? I'd love to see what all happened. hurricane Matthew ruined any chance for me to watch it live.

[@TheClutchkicker]

Video quality so low? :/

[@USMRacingTeam]

Kristaps Bluss deserved to go to the next round, imho he was better than Juha Rintanen (7:00). Best wishes from Lithuania.

[@Ferdis71]

USM Racing Team Totally agree

[@USMRacingTeam]

c'mon, stop trolling.

[@oskarwasilewski924]

Q&A: hey ryan how much does it cost to build a street ca4 like your frs

[@dethkon2284]

why don't they have more cameras inside/ on the cars?

[@LeCobaye57]

Hooo Doctor !

[@justinwolf148]

noob question, do these cars use ABS or is it disabled?

[@carlpepin1]

Justin Wolf Disabled, every driving assist is cut off for this kind of competition.

[@SSSDrongo]

is it just me or did Matts car flame when he spinned out during final 4

[@turbocateyeS475]

I swear on the second race you were saying U-haul Rented It... instead of whatever dudes name is

[@taanneth]

i'm happy for Chris Forsberg, but i'm sad for his car

[@fabian5wr]

Dai!!

[@NoBoost1]

ok I was watching this and thought for once the judges weren't biased... but wtf happened with aasbo? I'm sorry but the contact was caused by Matt. Matt was running sloppy and you can see right before contact happens he threw more angle causing him to slow down. With that aasbo hit him. I got mad respectful Matt, but that wasn't his run and he did not deserve that win.

[@siff123]

i was tiking the same that was bullshit

[@IshoGT]

nope. did you even listen to ryan sage before the event and after the contact? the track has various decel and accell zones, meaning zones where you have to be on throttle and zones whrre you can be off throttle or even brake. the contact occured during a decell zone, simple. it was also noticeable that aasbo approached the last inside clipping point way too quickly.

[@NoBoost1]

they both approached that last clip at even speed. Honesty even would say Matt was running abit faster at the start but slowed after the correction and even more when he decided to pull more angle when he should not have. In fd you try and get as close to the lead driver as possible, if you can completely mimic the driver ahead and stay as close too them as possible to get a good follow run. You are saposed to stay close and the fact that aasbo was actually on the brakes more than Matt doesn't help Matt's point. You can see when they are on their brakes and Matt was barely on them at all. aasbo had no time to react to Matt doing that. Matt had not been braking but threw his car into a position where it put the drivers at risk of crashing. Matt got lucky this whole event. He's not a bad driver but 1. this wasn't his best event. and 2. His opponent luckily slipped up allot. If half of these drivers were running 100% that event Matt would have lost.

[@Wildchildinc]

Its the type of contact that brings the lead driver out of angle or out of drifts, that's what he was docked for. Aasbo really pushed that car out of angle. Had there been contact and a drift was still sustained, Aasbo would've won.

[@muffinman_2463]

pretty sure you're supposed to give the lead driver enough room to adjust if necessary

[@stilo9501]

What was that angle that Pawlak had. Jesus Christ

[@meffycodrin1853]

I dont understand The Champion thing between forsberg and aasbo

[@tommylyang8230]

GJ HF BRozz

[@brandondeel3567]

Tyler had it against tuerck.

[@13rjae]

how did Fredric Aasbo Loose

[@linjason8176]

no top32？

[@buschsucks]

11:00 fredric aasbo should be 2016 champion...

[@CFilez]

32 to 16 please.

[@camilorodriguez2918]

why isn't forest wang wining all fd contest??

[@lofighost8811]

camilo rodriguez because It's a competition he not the only driver sure he is known for his style but othwr driver can throw down too

[@brandondeel3567]

it would be nice to know exactly what happened in the top 32 to cause all these by-runs. like gushi and mad mike getting into it giving tuerck a by-run. do better next year guys..

[@Thugwaffle36]

Brandon Deel maybe you should watch it?

[@brandondeel3567]

I couldn't cuz of hurricane Matthew...

[@Wildchildinc]

Over confidence got to Dai... If they checked his car they would've noticed the belt and could have changed it. Shame the grand stands emptied out once Forsberg was announced champion. I swear, those stands were packed not even 20 mins before hand.

[@LRSNRCNG309]

god dammit Forsberg, why ya gotta crash so early

[@YTias]

definitely didn't think it was Chris' fault on the crash.

[@LRSNRCNG309]

Mattias Coleman it wasn't his fault but it still sucks to see your favorite driver crash

[@heamees4822]

well he won championships so all good

[@carlpepin1]

That crash was brutal too.

[@HS-zm4ow]

Forsberg #Rekt

[@OperatorRaijinn]

No mad mike? Thats sad.

[@Hachiae]
