About Papadakis Racing
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2021 and 2015 championship titles with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back-to-back championships with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008.
This season, Fredric Aasbo returns to defend his title in the Rockstar Energy Toyota GR Supra, while Ryan Tuerck also returns to the team to drive the Toyota Corolla hatchback.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport-compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front­-wheel­ drive, tube-­chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front­-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front­-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-­wheel drive when he campaigned just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club.

[@DannysGarage]

Other KZbinrs spend 2 years putting a turbo kit on a car, while Papadakis builds a whole crazy car and puts it in a concise, 11-minute video

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

To be fair, they are professionals, with a crew and a big budget

[@JavierGonzalez-cm3us]

True, stuffs not even that hard to do you only need like a couple $1M to do it and a big brain. Kinda crazy how some people take so long to do something with such a low barrier to entry.

[@liammcgrath6184]

Also they aren’t trying to make more revenue or money out of their youtube they do it for informative reasons. KZbinrs 90% do it for a consistent amount of video’s

[@tylerakerfeldt7220]

Definitely has nothing to do with the fact he owns and runs a business specifically dedicated to building race cars.

[@pokdi7771]

Hahahaha lmao

[@Rares3101]

No header? No problem, we'll print it out of inconel 😂 You can tell that Stephan makes these videos just to show us how it's done and not for profit/views. Mad respect.

[@ElBach1y]

no head???? 😔

[@christophersmith0865]

He and Dom are one hell of a 1-2/Engineer-Fabricator punch. Those guys are on another level.

[@felipecabrera5468]

this level of work is amazing, these guys really are on another level, their supra build was nuts as well

[@trumanhw]

And now, a new video by _"Money is No Object-Productions"_ The work-quality is just ridiculous, not to mention aggregating this talent-pool.

[@easley421]

Was just thinking what it would take to be his apprentice. Probably a master's in engineering to begin with. What makes him so one of a kind is growing with the tech as it became available. You can't pay for that kind of experience. It's priceless.

[@ALMX5DP]

Damn another freaking awesome overview video. Never get tired watching those. The detail and engineering that goes into these builds is unreal.

[@musewolfman]

*everyone else:* takes BMW engine out of new Supra, swaps in an archaic 2jz *Steph Papadakis:* not only proves how badass the BMW engine can be, but also swaps one into a GR86 for good measure

[@nf1369]

He said on Instagram that he wants to put the B58 in an A80 Supra.

[@juniwalk]

I'd love to know what they could do with the new S58

[@oneplumpboi5317]

I mean, from an engineering point of view, the only thing good about the b58 over a 2jz is weight and stock oil pump.

[@haphazard1342]

It's so amazing to see the inside of a high end race operation like this. Thank you Stephen for sharing your shop with us, and for going above and beyond to produce such amazingly dense and informative videos. Can't wait for the next installment on your subcompact off-roader!

[@jimxiong04]

I dont care! I'm giving thumbs up before watching whole video

[@evwhizz]

I always do that. It takes a lot of time to make videos and that's one of the ways to say thank you!

[@funrun508]

Same!

[@rak6437]

He deserves a like even if you don't like the video. I wish I had a workshop like him

[@UrAvgAntagonist]

Wait, that’s not normal?

[@thisnameislessembarassing]

The no nonsense approach and the high level of technicality that you somehow package into these sub 20 minute videos is eye opening. Love these uploads!

[@RDSAlphard]

Formula Drift has 2 of most unique GR86, this B58 powered one, and Ken's 1GR powered one.

[@SloppyMechanics]

i always appreciate the videos, thank you, never stop

[@jz9189]

What's the budget on something like this??? $400k?? The attention to detail is just amazing!

[@PierceGomez]

If you have $400K to spend on a drift car you might as well make it out of solid gold or something lol

[@TronBons]

Honestly probably more... wages, materials.. idk I'd guess over 400k

[@chun2s]

I guess like 700k

[@ultimate_coolguy1927]

Around 80k - 100k USD i guess

[@chun2s]

@@ultimate_coolguy1927 only the engine and the transmission is like 100k

[@ofthenearfuture]

What an insane build, but I guess that's to be expected with Papadakis, they are all on another level... and in 8 weeks!

[@ArmySigs]

Yeah that time frame is nuts! This would be a 12 month build for a lot of other shops

[@cmamsler]

John is one of those drivers that I’ve been waiting for a good car and good crew, dude is unrated as hell

[@flexxx222]

Yeah man he did great at Long Beach! I'm looking forward to seeing him in Atlanta.

[@Ribbityibzki]

I love the amount of CAD and 3d printing you guys use. Really makes your builds next level and cuts production time.

[@smoloms]

just all the design work is amazing to me. you inspire me to keep going down this career paths

[@omarbrokeit]

Thanks for including all the detailed info on the build methods you're using. Things like the cleco fasteners, rivet nuts, the type of filament for printing bushings, all great ideas to have in a mental toolbox.

[@albertxnyc]

this is so enjoyable, I like that it's all the thinking that went behind his decisions and clearly explains why he made these decisions. No BS, love it!!

[@putzeh]

Love how you manage to put so much detail in such a short period. Always such great content!

[@juanvasquez1576]

I really love how in depth without being boring your videos are, keep them coming we love your content!

[@flamableman28]

Insane stuff, thanks for all the great work you do

[@antbymcnair4297]

I always enjoy seeing that Papadakis Racing has a new video. Always something really cool to look at. Very well done fab work and such attention to detail. GL this season.

[@stevecomber1879]

Mate, you are both an artist and an inspiration! I teach automotive engineering in New Zealand. My students absolutely love your vids and they work wonders for getting them enthusiastic about our trade. Thanks heaps!!

[@MrPig208]

Man I love this Channel, no fluff or dragging things out. Straight to the point and breaking down exactly what's involved

[@IliescuBenyamin]

I love how you show small interestimg stuff for us nerds and mechanics. Nice job!

[@balancemode4112]

you’re passion to cars is like no other, love all your builds

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I cannot express how much I love and appreciate these build videos. It is so cool to see the process at a skill level of this caliber

[@CorpseExplosion]

This is SO good. I don't mind the common 10-20 minute build time-lapse videos, but these concise explainers you guys do are on another level.

[@Yavorh55]

As a 3d print enthusiast i LOVE how seamlessly 3d printing has started fitting into workflows

[@sickjohnson]

Man that was cool! Keep these awesome videos coming guys!

[@Jrockilla137]

Love your builds, man!

[@alexfraser8506]

That was… incredible. My jaw was literally on the ground for the entire length of that video. Absolutely incredible that you and your team can do this kind of modification and fabrication!

[@majdps995]

10:08 this thing is a monster!!!! Amazing video, Papadakis never fails us.

[@errbodyknowsdarules]

So much detail and attention to detail. Thank you!

[@butcht6309]

Its such a delight to listen to Papadakis. All the nitty gritty, all the details, i dont get bored at all. I could listen to this for hours. 😁

[@blockchainjake537]

Best channel on youtube! Keep up the good work!

[@blakemoresimon]

The way you got around fitting the roll cadge was super ingenious very very impressed good job guys lobe watching your videos

[@gwot]

it's pretty standard actually... cuz every cage fitter faces these same problems.

[@DavidJohnson-hg1mz]

Ummm 🤔 no that’s just how it’s done. Like he said. It’s that or chop the roof off.

[@1BlinkwithAngels82]

These are some of the best and most entertaining videos on KZbin.

[@davewallace9048]

Total production of your team is off the charts.. Love watching your videos super interesting!!

[@nf1369]

I am so happy that you posted a video the GR86 drift build. I LOVE IT!

[@RagoEv]

Such an amazing build, as always, from the legendary Papadakis! Gotta say, Castro on this new chassis gonna be a menace, he killed it at LB!!

Steph's builds are legit. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. Been a fan of his since the Battle of the Import drag racing days in the mid 1990s, he has always been at the top of the game!

[@luckyboyyt8582]

Mann that is such an awesome build everything has a purpose and well-thought-out. Love it!

[@jetstream01]

Still one of the best KZbin channels. You do such a good job getting to the point, keeping things simple, but still respecting your viewers' intelligence by including the complicated parts as well.

[@floodo1]

sick I appreciate the pace of this vid thx

[@tian320i]

You and your team are on another level. You make this build look effortless.
