Battling China's Most Famous Driver! - FDJ2 Round 5 Nikko Circuit

[@Drift_with_Lina]

I guess Robbie called it! But seriously you have grown so much in your driving skills, calming nerves, car knowledge and rebuilding. You joined FDJ2 to get competition experience and this is what it is. It's the rules, it's the lines, it's the accuracy and the repeatability. Without experience, you won't know what you need to get to the top. Echo has a lot of experience so to see you run well against her well is a testament to your growth. Keep it up! Thanks for the early morning edit to show us the BTS of FDJ2. Everything makes more sense to hear the stories behind the starting grid.

[@seattimeheroes]

Well said!

[@teaddict-]

So good to see Echo on the channel, she's such an incredible driver! I remember her being one of the first ones I watched on KZbin when I started looking for drift content. Your progress this FDJ2 season has been huge, don't worry about podium, it'll happen before you know it! Think everyone can tell you've really worked on your mental game, you seem way less stressed this year and your mindset seems a whole lot healthier. Keep at it and you'll keep progressing, stoked to follow your journey! ❤

[@rickydelcastillo1]

Sam, please don't overlook things, even though you think you'll be ok, don't ever take important things for granted like tire pressure or changing tires. On the up side, every time you go out you seem more confident, but this translates to maxing out on throttle abuse consecuently deteriorating tires. There is a reason pros put new tires everytime they go out, even if it is practice or the finals, you need to give yourself your best shot. You're still my favorite and will keep rooting for you!

[@YEET.13]

So glad to see you have fun in competion compared to last year where you where struggling a lot with stress and pressure. Keep at it boss!

[@brentlysiders934]

You did great #Sammit!! That track definitely looks difficult, and I know you gave it your best!! Thank you for the inspiration ❤!

The best thing bro is the attitude change and the emotions u are feeling! More positive and less demoralized! Keep at it and keep pushing!! Can’t wait to see u at the next round!

[@mht525]

Well done Sam, your getting there, bro. Great reflection, Use the psychology, the zone is where it's at! Proud to have been in the chat and supporting you. Tyres Bro. 👊👍 Go, Team Sammit. It was great to see May and Yugo on the phone. So kool ♥️ Aussie Aussie Aussie ✌️🤘🇦🇺🇯🇵

[@dreplays3118]

Ever since a comment I saw on a comp vid a few months back, they said you make too many excuses whenever you lose and now every comp vid I can’t not laugh at the excuses but some are warranted like the line failure 🤝

[@DoomSh0T]

Naaah leaving daiki hanging is a felony.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Sammit. Keep your head up there's always next round of FDJ2. #pinkbits

[@kennethrudibaugh]

I love how excited you got to be able to help another driver and friend mentally. You’re a gem Sam, much love always 🖤

[@Hiro_____]

You're having so much fun and smiling throughout the video, that's what matters in my opinion. LIVE THE DREAM! 🌊🌊🌊🌊 Edit : too many "and" lol

[@Patrick-vc6zk]

It's always a good day when I get a Sammit video! I love that you always keep a positive attitude, Sam. Keep it up, my friend!

[@OllamhDrab]

Heheh. I really think the people of FDJ2 are just such a fun bunch, I'd love to see more behind the scenes with them. :) If they decided to do Top 32, I'd be there for that, even. :)

[@andreasweber7828]

Every comp is good data for the next. And today you’ve had a lot of fun and gained great experience. Well done. I’m really happy for you

[@6TheDa6rkOne6]

Love seeing how much you improved on your chase runs Sam! Keep up the good work bro💕

[@TrapNkotha]

#Sammit Hell Yea.. Loving how progressive your driving has been.. Keep at it yo #2JZ #FDJ2

[@2evol]

you could season in a few sets of tires before a event with just a few laps then change them so they just have a little bit of wear and thatll help with making good tire changes as the envirenment changes during the day and weekend

[@casdek2265]

Saw ECHO's video on bilibili, immediately reminds me of u. I've been following you since that video of you buying a car at a Japanese auction house. Being able to participate in Formula Drift is not an easy thing to do, and it's a proof of the growth of your driving skills. Do what you love and have fun is more important than anything else. Go for it and remember to stay safe! ❤

[@Deven210]

I love that your wife called you right after your second run. That's so awesome!

[@ReLisDoomed]

that reverse entry though was bone chilling man seeing that for the first time was giving me goose bumps

[@jasondal620]

Your development is phenomenal, so proud, keep it up SAMMIT!

[@swift4657]

Sam’s looking more comfortable with each round, getting slick !

[@coishman26]

You Sam luccas had the maybe best driving aka drifting ive seen you do Ive seen you do it was fkn nuts I was impressed, When you gunna smoke Rodknok ? I really enjoyed your colads with Chris

[@jgerry2002]

Get a portable brake bleeder like the motive one with an adapter cap. You won't need to pump brakes to bleed them. It will save you time and stress at the track when you deal with brake issues. Good job. These videos are fun to watch.

[@Scotts23]

It's so good to see you happy and buzzing when you are doing what you love one of the reasons why i love your channel onwards and upwards my friend great video 27:46

[@tucoerquilenne6765]

It's great to see the improvement and the mental game that you've been working on pay off. Look forward to the next round.

[@ATOMIK_DUNKZ]

It’s great seeing your growth as a competitive driver. With every run, you’re learning. Keep up the good work bro! 👏🏻 🫡

[@rickrussell579]

Your car needed probably 0% boost to run that track. That track was tiny and technical. A 300hp ae86 would kill that track but a 1000 HP jz s15 is overkill lol You're a legend, mate!!! I love seeing you kill it. I couldn't jump into a car like that and then apply techniques from a chaser with throttle issues. The fact you can learn something and your brain just figures it out on the fly, it's miraculous

[@jaynvius1]

It happens to the best of us, Sam. You got this man and you broke the qualifying curse. You'll get to top 8 in no time!

[@SpaceRanger187]

Not changing tires was the issue, it happens. Plus she is good, really good. Need to be friends with her

[@bennypen8005]

Great run Sam ganbateh Daiki wanted a fist bump Sadge, so heart warming to see drivers helping each other out to compete and improving through the competition

[@-B.H.]

That first qualifying run still had some nice flicks and moments even if you got the incomplete for it! Awesome to see the second run with you coming out swinging and pulling through strong for the 82. Oh hah Sam threw wild angle in the lead. If Sam didn't drop 2 wheels I don't think it'd be OMT. But with going 2 off I can see OMT. But damn Sam sorta fell apart in that OMT. Echo was rocking it too. All in all the vibes this weekend were solid. Also the track layout was pretty awesome for how quick and short/twisty it was. It's nice to see layouts like that compared to the large long high speed only layouts.

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

Ah yes it's 3:40 AM for me and I don't need sleep before I finish watching this

[@justinbruce]

Your still killing it man I enjoy watching every video keep bangin bro

[@brisbanecarmeetsandtrackda9072]

Super aggressive on those entry's you can really see it in your arms as you reef that steering wheel around impressive 👍

[@804MRMAN]

*What's so funny is when he's showing the track layout, he's not offending anyone by pointing over their head* 😂😂😂

[@itsmonday1717]

LIVE THE DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bro as long as you keep being you and just doing it man oh man such motivation and inspiration. I enjoy your journey and will always support you.

[@minesbetter3504]

Killing it. Keep at it!

[@chitomendoza3528]

Amazing attitude Sammit! Keep up the good work! Get them next round!

[@alanhall5648]

Go Sammit I just love your enthusiasm your a brilliant driver a bit more luck and your there 🔥🔥🇬🇧

[@scottloersch555]

You should be so proud of your self bro little mistakes nothing major and you already know what you done wrong youve come so far keep pushing forwards

[@Dimasik1411]

Just stay positive and keep going. Avery thing happens and shit as well. It all will be good man🤙🏻

[@mrkouki180sx]

i just picked up 2 cars from the port on friday thank you for telling us about be forward :D picked up a 91 soarer and a 97 mark II

[@cheesepizza87]

Amazing line up of cars - her 32 drifting looks so good

[@cheesepizza87]

+ the cars looking dialled ! your driving stays improving

[@NissanR33Ztune]

Great weekend of action, talk about a massive effort to get this edited and up too.

[@paulfitzgibbon4110]

Sam, going big and not quite making it is better than not being there at all. You're 2 years into this, & your progress has been amazing. So every time you go out, new rears. Also I'd suggest getting a new race suit. The black with red looks so drab & that's not who you are. Obviously pink would be the perfect colour. Could I also suggest you look into a longer 2nd gear in that gearbox. At the last round you seemed to be too high or too low with your diff ratio. A taller 2nd would give a bit more speed, so a little bit less limiter bashing. Lastly, ken oath, Sam, you're doing great.

[@Catspat1969]

Agreed about the racing suit

[@ryanlowe3588]

One thing I like about the judging in JFD is they don’t give you a bad score for crazy run… it’s more about the show then stupid little details like USA FD

[@ZeroSumHeart]

Keep killing it Sam! you got this!!

[@ianwiggins5499]

You doing good anyway just keep up the good work keep practising yeah should I change tires have been alright you can always do it next time I’m good tyres Yokohama anyway😮😮😮

[@ajestes6187]

Way to go sammit!! I look forward to all your videos. And thanks for introducing me to be forward, I have two cars waiting at Port in Japan to come to usa!!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Everytime you keep growing Sam. Keep it coming and you'll be out of top 16 and into top 8!

[@danieljdmhay3122]

Such a good attitude Sam we are all with you keep it up..

[@dee1089]

as long as you dont repeat mistakes.. its shows that youare learning from your mistakes. keep it up!more info you can get = advantages

[@goodmatchplay1372]

I would love to see Sammit go backwards in a drift that would be sick!

[@SneakZ88]

i would try up the idle by 100rpm heavy clutch high revs if u hand brake and go off throttle its likely to cuase a stall

[@jasonkenney5009]

Good line 2nd lap

[@hypermansquida]

Honestly so good they gave one more time, relieved lol Ohhhhh maaaate, you hit that throttle a little too much. got to settle down on it a little. get the foot to slow down. overall great work of course like always.

[@BlaiseBTW]

You have been improving so much lately holy cow

[@ZzedZed]

Totally stoked. Whole new level.

[@KGC210]

Not watched the video yet, not looked at any of the social media yet. I have high hopes for this one! It's been an intense wait!

[@KGC210]

Good run, glad you are staying positive and humble. One more run and you'll be on the podium!

[@zandev4539]

Bro some how i feel like you improved a lot❤ keep up sam

[@ghostemane85]

SAmmm... It's called "hit the ground running" Also u got screwed again!!! there was no reason for that one more time.... YOU HAD IT !!!!

[@Boodster61]

Sam you should totally put a 360 camera on the rear of the car, would look sick

[@carver2445]

Can you show us the box thing on the raw channel?

[@clarko1]

Dude. You're so lucky it didn't set on fire. Remember what happened to colletes corvette...

[@fly33boxer]

This is all its about - having fun. Also good on you!

[@pinecone1811]

The comp car looks incredible bro!!! Cool af car 👍

[@ashborntempest4675]

Today vid is something else man u know how to take on the track and with the problem that the car is having is something to take note of on what to improve on the car so the problem that u are having is not coming back But great video nonetheless keep it Sam I know u can and u will 😁😁😁😁

[@evjpgarage4976]

I like to see you keeping POSITIVE!!!!

[@ndis7799]

Your weaknesses are small tracks, lines and tire management. Hopefully in the remaining rounds you can fix it

[@lvlyjmszn7325]

Man the angles keep getting better it just sucks that you don't have the money to drive that car every other day so you can familiarize it.
