Our belief in this 16 year old WONDERKID… PAID OFF!

[@Akina_TTV]

connors family essentially adopting ryusei as their own has been wholesome to watch

[@dzzope]

This, the support they dish out is incredible to see. Really hope he comes back next year.

[@bigmikepimp2003]

16 years old and making it this far this consistent. He is going to be "THE NEXT JAMES DEANE"

[@GkPhotographic]

it has been a long held tradition in Ireland to foster another's son/daughter , it really is a beautiful thing to watch both cultures with one goal , from the land of the Rising sun to the land of the Setting sun . its a special relationship , Ireland/Japan , car culture brings us all together .

[@MrFilgri]

that's literally the COOLEST part of all this!

[@ChrisAdams180]

Couldn't agree more! Love to see it!!!

[@paulryan388]

Ryusei is definitely an honorary Irishman, the heart he brings to the Irish drift games team is second to none, he’s definitely one of us 👍🏻

[@paulryan388]

On another note..... Conor Falvey is a frickin legend in the making !!!!!😮

[@Silver-Buchanan]

Conors dad screaming on his second qualifying run gave me chills. You know he's just so fucking proud.

[@gbmaxse]

He really manages to claim those high moments and not let the down times get to him or to let Connor wallow in them. He's a whole vibe imho

[@crocopEst]

Conors future in eu drifting looks very bright, i hope he can stay in that train more than just one season🎉

[@mairis4579]

I hope you can keep them both for next year of drift masters too, these are now my favorite driftgames videos...

[@jvrkandc]

Cool vid as always....Im still rooting for Ryusei to show us all ...his time will come...hope you guys keep him in the DG camp.Well done Conor

[@rikrocket4618]

keep ryusei next season for sure guys a hell of a wheel man

[@rceps4999]

​@rikrocket4618 I haven't seen any confirmation so kinda sad

[@SmokinLizzos]

​@@rceps4999 watch him at D1GP Ebisu its on youtube, he can drive but the driving styles are a lot different between here and Japan. Hes also had an unfortunate year mechanically.

[@SinclairBikeTrials]

Here's hoping Ryusei see's this... I love his style, his nature, his car and I love to watch him on track! I wish him all the best and can't wait to see him stand on the top step of the podium. I'm a huge fan of his driving and his style! Best wishes Ryusei!

[@NIGHTRIDEPL]

lads such an awesome job you do on those episodes, great job team!

[@henryhoove7201]

I personally met Ryusei in Hungary and I must say that he is a very positive person. And I hope to see him at next year's Driftmasters as well, because he definitely deserves a place in all the rounds.

[@Eirehunter22]

Dead right my heart goes out to him,I think he just needs more seat time possibly a stint with jd130 or the Shanahan boys down in watergrass hill or Modello…..once it just clicks with him he’ll be a1 I think it’s just pressure of not qualifying the last rounds just getting to him😣

[@leecameron7758]

Damn man. I feel so bad for Ryusei, you can tell it bothers him. Mad props to the drift games team for standing behind him ans supporting him no matter what. I hope he figures it out soon, by far my favorite YT channel. Yall keep it up.

[@shnbrwn]

I'm only ten minutes in so far and can already tell that Lukas has really outdone himself with the editing of this video. Bravo dude!

[@kenallen7480]

Aww lads that moment with Conor hugging his parents when he arrived back to the pits after his top 8 battle was unreal. Here's hoping Ryusei can get it together soon. He's a very positive guy. Great work Lukasz 👌 48:52

[@mikewright84]

Conor's Dad looks like Vaughn Gittin I keep double taking! Both the DG lads have done the team proud this season, I think Conor will keep growing year on year, and Ryuse just needs a decent result for his confidence, a jinx breaker!

It's great to see how much it means to Conor's dad and family

[@corex72]

He’s making the team a family.

[@LaMbErTJDMEG4]

Please keep ryusei next year as well this series is brilliant and he deserves the chance. He's completely out his comfort zone, doesn't have his family round him like Connor but he's so positive. This is the best series on drift games channel it's been phenomenal

[@jessegoodall277]

The improvement in Connors driving is amazing to watch. And ryusei is learning and picking up as well, the spirit and character of both drivers is awesome to watch

[@stephenmullally3756]

What a brilliant way to tell that story, that video was top class. Excellent production. Best behind the scene's drift masters vlog on youtube...by far

[@XJR15ftw]

I can't imagine the amount of pressure Ryusei is under. I know the team is doing their best to support, but as a competitor seeing the narrative change in real time and the guys talking about "heart is sometimes worth more than the scoreboard" suuuuuuuucks

[@Keane-to-clean]

Lukas has done some magic on this small documentary on the the drivers and hia way of story telling is amazing keep it up bud

[@Lunari_xo]

I never thought I would get behind Ryusei this much but I am a FAN. I hope he has that point where he just starts dominating the competition

[@joshfosho]

so stoked on Conors performance! hell yeah lets keep pushing and we will definitely get that podium next! Ryusei is coming too! Never Give Up DG fam lets goooo!

[@fiilly9223]

Such a wholesome feeling around every event with the whole crew and just get a great feeling seeing how proud the Falveys are of Conor everytime. Been a tough season for Ryusei but i love seeing how positive he stays no matter what and I just know when he comes good it will all be worth it in the end. Hopefully you guys can keep the team going again for next year and hopefuly Ryusei can start to crack the European style because we all know how good he can be when he is on his A game. these series have been a joy to watch and cant wait for Poland best of luck to both lads and the whole Drift Games team, doing the irish so proud.

[@Exorym]

Whoever chose the backround music for the video is a genius, it literally made every scene intense, exciting, emotional and hyped! Great video lads!

[@Bandana_street]

[@feedinn]

Man watching ryusei struggeling just makes the build up for his redemption even more hyped. Cant wait for him to prove himself

[@harrymccabe165]

The relationship between Conner and Thomas is the dream relationship , as a father I love to see how proud Thomas is of him ! The man is a true role model and you can see it in Conner when he’s doin good or bad , great episode lads 🫡👍🏼

[@MelSavageKiller]

So pleased for Conor, what a drive. He has got a very bright future ahead of him.

[@jamessuman2151]

At the start of the year I didn't think this kid was going to do anything, 16yo sim lord. Well he's sure showed me and I'm HERE FOR IT!

[@PatrolCCAI]

Bandana thank you, you didn’t go to the Netflix and are elevating drifting content Bless you G

[@jasoncoyle2226]

As a irish man it's amazing to watch this small country produced some of the best if not the best drifters in the world. Then sitting back watching conor at 16 years of age just being another unbelievable drifter with such a bright future... God its so great to watch and knowing this young lad will be up going door to door with James and the shanahans soon... proud to be irish.. such a bright future in drifting

[@BlueEternities]

What an incredible video. My heart goes out to Ryusei. He couldn't have a better attitude. Conner freaking smashed it out of the park. Can't wait to see what he makes of this. No doubt he's got what it takes. God bless all of you. Thank you for investing so much to put on a great show for us. Going to need to massage my jaw after smiling so much.

[@rozethehornet991]

I dont understand how DG doesnt have more views, the production quality, the heart behind the videos, the level of content is insane. Keep it up guys, loving being able to follow Connor and Ryusei in such a close way.

[@adamj.davidge7933]

Level of quality increase in these last few videos has been insane. The storytelling and emotion has jumped a couple of big levels. You guys are doing a great job of the videos alone but equally of bringing out the emotional roller coaster vibes to the youtube audience. Hats off to you drift games team. Incredible improvements.

[@patchestheshameful]

I can't wait for ryusei to finally dial it in and get some reward for all his hard work! He's gonna figure it out and become a real weapon on any track!

[@toshirokigai]

there is a reason japanese drivers generally don't compete in dm, and ryusei does well in japan, it shows how tough of an adjustment it is

[@M.asa.]

Firstly its expensive and europe is not that attractive compared to the us in terms of sponsers. Driving and track layout is also very different. We need more japanese drivers for sure

[@jakehennessy3216]

We definitely need another year of the Drift Games team without a doubt. Conor is flat out he's got the track/level experience this year and he's still out here in top 8's. I was gutted for Ryusei he needs another shot, Didn't get to show his full potential completely different style and level of competition new drivers new tracks and then nerves on top of all that.

[@brennanbuck2269]

and i will say it every damn video. you guys capture the emotion so well dont stop everrr

[@Wufftonsson]

I really hope that you guys give Ryusei a another chance to show what he is about, in season 2025. He is such an nice character and enjoyable to watch.

[@ItssKoby]

Not sure why, the videoing, the editing, the passion.. it gets me emotional every single video again.. Drift Games, youve done it again!

[@seanchurchman5785]

I can’t wait to jump around screaming at the tv when Ryusei and Conor both make it to battles. Come on guys!! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@pbdrift694]

Ryusei definitely has the talent, he just needs a bit more practice with European drivers to adjust to the style. Connor is my hero, what a great example of a young man, his family should be very proud. and also big respect to drift games for giving them lads the chance 👌🏻

[@nathanbell7571]

This channel doesn't get the love and recognition that it deserves. The heart and passion behind this whole team and the whole journey this year alone should have you guys at 1m subscribers. These are my favorite drift videos on KZbin. Drift Games and the way you guys bring it to the masses, the editing, the mechanical work, and every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears come out in every minute. I absolutely love everything about the whole team! Keep up the amazing work, and I hope you guys nail this season and can crown a champ! ❤

[@nathanbell7571]

Mad love from the US

[@Lil_Dill4]

I love all these videos watching Connors dad always shouting for Connor saying GOOOO ONNN gives me chills when watching and brings tears sometimes, Connor has done well for hist first shot at DMEC. Ryusei has learned so much from round one to now, I can't imagine what he is going through his head, putting his all into it and nit qualifying, I believe he will get it for the final round I want it more then anything for him to get into top 32. The bond and seeing Connors family support/ adopt Ryusei shows the drift community is friendly and family environment and I loved seeing this whole journey. I hope things can fall in place and it can be ran back for the 2025 season.

[@pozestgamer139]
