In the first age, in the first race, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Mario Kart, his soul blistered by the fires of Spaghetti junctions and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the road of perpetual damage fees. In his ravenous speed he found no peace; and with boiling blood he drifted the Forza Horizon seeking vengeance against the TopGear announcers who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Rumble Tumbler, and those that tasted the dust of his car named him… the Drift King.

4:24 In case you're wondering, "Drift King" is likely a reference to Keiichi Tsuchiya, the man widely credited with popularising drifting as a motorsport. "Drift King" was his unofficial title.

I know that good editing gets looked over unless it's obvious, but I feel like I have to point this out. 6:14 Daniel says "It's now or never" and then the music immediately starts picking up after that. There's zero way that was unintentional, and I love when people put effort into their craft when no one notices it. Genuinely, if Dan's editor didn't make a minor change like that, it wouldn't have felt as climactic, but not even a single person would notice or really care even.
