Recovering from Our Worst Crash Ever - Drift Masters Finland

Drift Masters Finland was an absolute blast, and we had an epic time with some of the best fans out there. The energy was through the roof, and the weekend was packed with amazing moments.
But then, things took a turn for the worse. We had the craziest crash we've ever experienced, smashing the Corvette straight into a wall. It was a rough end to an otherwise awesome event. The Corvette is pretty beat up, but don't worry, we're already working on getting it fixed and ready to tear it up at the next round in Riga.
Check out the video to see the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Your support means the world to us, and we’re pumped to come back stronger than ever!

That was one of the craziest qualifications i have ever watched

[@zimble]

So much damage this round. My heart sunk when I saw that straight crash into the wall. Tough one. Keep going you guys! We're all cheering you on.

[@Joebobinator]

I might have missed it but did they say what happened with that? Looked like he initiated and it snap straightened. Did the engine cut out or what?

[@mikehunt7857]

Can't wait for Riga, one of my favorite DMEC rounds.

[@FDFraceshop]

[@Jespaa]

Great driving but shit luck through the weekend. Weather was just not having it this year, took a little patience in the grand stands also. 😂 Hope to see you having everything on your side for at least one DMGP weekend and get to the TOP4, it's not impossible!

[@tazou19]

Man that sucks... Good job persevering!

[@Philsilva06]

Good progress so far🤟

[@anthonys14a]

Fingers crossed you get the chassis straightened out in time for riga and have a strong round 👍

[@Philsilva06]

Tech Tuesday idea: maintaining a fuel system

[@DrifterAtHeart-Woocash]

Gutted for you man. Good luck 🍊

[@afaulkingham4130]

that was the hardest round to watch. so many cars and dreams crushed just in qualifying.

[@texaspowerman]

You’re going to need to ship over a mobile frame rack to keep the car straight this season. Shake down season is looking rough. At least you weren’t hurt an no fire. The head on into the wall look like it was the finish. Amazing work by the crew to get you on the track at all.

[@ericmoreau8849]

DRIFTMASTER track have claim many many many car over the years!!!!!!cant wait for next round !!!!!!!

[@CFHJohnny]

Foot to the floor!

[@patricklaporte180sx]

Wow that crash waz so hard cant belive the car still running

[@TylerShelton-c8z]

Anyone know the song at the end?? And Keep your head up bro! You are more than capable of getting a W anywhere you compete ✊🏻

[@CFHJohnny]

I gotta say that last initiation got me yelling omg! Like really you touched the tire wall! Just mental. Now i hope the frame will be straighten for riga! Gonna be fun

[@MatheusSartor23]

Really hard times with the last rounds, but it will make the taste of the first podium even better, let’s keep going 💪

[@mrtomottosam3790]

Yourself LZ, and ryusei haven't had the best of seasons so far but as the drift games boys have thought us this year never give up, think of this year as the learning curve so you can dominate next year

[@dzzope]

Dunno about dominating but 100% agree that the first season on a new set of tracks and drivers etc is almost certainly always gonna be a write off to the experience.

[@Bull1175]

Man, you and LZ both drove hard and the cars took a beating but like you said the show must go on.

[@Halfwaythere_]

I think in the next round your rigga will shine, because its a high speed track, but nobody knows, good luck on rigga

[@CMDrifting]

Way to face adversity and getting the car back out there to make your battle in 32. 16 in Riga? Nah take that thing all the way!

[@arttumanni6906]

the training runs were good. Riga better luck

[@JamesOshea-ge2km]

Hey guys from Ireland i cant wait for next round I said this on lz channel too but i reqlly thing you guys shoukd come to ireland for a month it will help ur driving more den you guys realise theres a reason all the irish drivers dnt get effected as much as everyine else i just really wana see all the new guys do wel

[@FaworDrifts]

I don't know do I have good feeling, but I see in Josiah's and Adam's faces big characteristic sadness after crashes. Crash like rear end, bash bars or suspension parts is normal in our sport. But when you damage the 'main' chassis...This is sport, ofcourse, but I personally take care about the cars overall. They are our, like, 'prides'. I have a feeling, that you both felt worse 'making' such things to the car, then not going further into the competition. But like Rich Whiteman ended one of his vlogs - keep moving forward... 😅

[@Philsilva06]

15:24 😢😢😢 no sight laps

[@CFHJohnny]

I was thinking the same!

[@badkillerpaodex5542]

Hire luke fink as coach.
