All the team have won exept James, next time its for him!

[@aaronibarra7935]

Don’t jinks it man

[@JohnMichael0226]

Good showing for RTR yet again! I feel like St. Louis is more "driftmasters style" being a bit more technical. Meaning, right up your alley. I see a 4th win in a row for RTR coming up!

[@garywayne123]

agreed!!!!

[@andrewgamble5681]

Imagine the damage you'll cause when you feel 10/10 in the car 🥵 can't wait 👌🏼

[@purwantiallan5089]

Agree. Deane was also 10/10.

[@ChuckThree]

Right there in the at #4 in the Title Hunt. Only 5 pts behind #2 and #3. Amazing. Even after 3yrs away from FD and almost certainly the most drastic vehicle change in FD history… - One of the smallest chassis on grid _to_ the single largest - Ubiquitous and proven 2JZ _to_ a team specific peaky V8 derived from NASCAR - Hydraulic steering and feel that is universally praised _to_ electric power steering that is universally panned

[@Philsilva06]

Congratulations on the 4th place. Championship is well within your reach James👏👏👏

[@gooch89]

NEXT ROUND IS YOURS!!

[@woodsy900]

Ah man.. had me smiling the whole time though! You are an amazing fit for the team. RTR now has an amazing cross section of skills

[@stevo4g92]

I've been a massive fan for years, I finally got the chance to go to an fd event last weekend. What a buzz Hope to see you in Riga 🤞 🇮🇪

[@SmokeeBearDrifts]

Thats awesome how accommodating RTR has been for you just to make sure that you'll be comfortable in the car and it definitely seems like its working. When you become 100% comfortable in the car everyone better watch out. James the MACHINE Dean is a great addition to the RTR team and I will go ahead and say that the next round of Formula Drift is going to be a win. #UNLEASHTHEMACHINE

[@antoinettedoyle3185]

Well done James. 4th place is better than a poke in the eye. There's always another day ❤

Haha he is not an underdog 😂

[@barrykennedy9379]

The one thing I always like while watching your vlogs is your honesty ...you always say it as it is. Your doing great James just keep pushing as hard as you can 🔥🔥🤗

[@S197Coyote]

4th in points driving a car that didn’t exist. Great showing man, you are killing it! Can’t wait to see you throw down in St Louis!

[@GB2G]

Geez the rtr's are badass. Love the personal vlogs and POVs we get from your's and also other rtr member's youtube videos vs like the two minutes of rtr battles we see on the FD channel.🤙🤙🤙

[@SRHCR032]

LZ with a gangster entry.. way off track followed by a tyre drop on the next corner. I get so confused by FD every time I watch 😂

[@pinecone1811]

Definitely the better driver between yourself, Chelsea and Adam. Once you get properly comfortable in the mustang you’ll be unstoppable!!!! My favourite driver in any drifting 👍👍 love your work buddy!!!

[@stuartgrogan472]

Head up man ,you seem to have it figured out now. I think your going to dominate the rest of the season.🤘🇮🇪🇮🇪🤘

[@mikeymechanic]

Can't wait to see your 2nd/3rd season in the rtr car you, will be unstoppable once again. Keep up the rtr project it's so cool

[@gooch89]

He actually has a shot in the championship this yr, he's 4th 46 points behind the points leader. One thing that we all know abt Deane is consistency, and consistency always wins.

[@chriswatkins323]

Ye don't forget mind James that is brand new out of the box this year mind and to be 4th in the championship is brilliant 👍👍👍

adam went all in to beat you with that entry. best entry of the season that i have seen and got his rewards. your turn next jimmy boy, you got this :D

[@angelwalker.]

Its not the best entry because he went off 2 wheels, that threw deane off too. But yea big mistake from deane

[@Assettopark]

@@angelwalker. best entry in terms of aggression/style. Props to Adam, he went out and laid down the same line run after run

[@philmarsden9594]

@@angelwalker. james said he fucked himself up sleeping at the restart and got lost in the smoke, nothing to do with adams line.

[@philmarsden9594]

@@Assettopark yeah, it wasnt the perfect line the judges want but it had more x factor than any run all weekend. as a fan watching i rank that higher than someone running less angle on the "perfect" line.

[@angelwalker.]

@@philmarsden9594 you guys just dont get it, all i am saying is why adam won it and how it made him lucky even that he was out 2 wheels, Yes his flick was nice. Why cant you just guys agree that if deane didnt sleep and stayed with him, even if adams flick was sick, since its out 2 wheels, judges would have given the win to dean for that mistake of adam. You guys cant accept that dropping 2 wheels is not a good thing, specialy for the lead driver because that means youre not in the right zones and can mess up the chase driver

[@LeslieannePablo-zj8df]

Good job James Deane and keep up the good work and enjoy your day god bless you all the best

Very nice runs ! you did great keep up

[@TheRainMans]

You actually have to win the next one 4 wins in a row for rtr would be insane. Please do it I believe in you. 🙏

[@Bertholemu]

🤜🤛🏻 good luck man 👌🏻 sportsmanship 🍻

[@growlith6969]

From a fan's standpoint that was a super wild event and the track definitely wasn't as easy to link as it looked. Hoping you can bring the next one home so that the RTR family has 4 wins for 4 drivers. Question for you, what does the little red button on the shifter do?

[@jiggzr3284]

St.Louis track is a big W for Deane . DMEC style track . RTR 4 in a row .Let's Goooo!!!

[@pwar-oz4mh]

sleeping on the line or lost in the beauty backie entry by LZ lmao

[@angelwalker.]

Shut up. If he was closer the judges would have given adam an unchasable run because yes awesome backie but it was off the line 2 wheels deep. They could have easily said that threw deane off. Adam got lucky 1000%

[@robiddon]

About time someone said that. The judges forget all the rules sometimes

[@YOSHI450R]

​@GasEaters judges wouldn't have gave Adam an unchaseable run, in their words "because he was entering that way all weekend" James hitting the wall on entry sent him wide not Adam's tire drop

[@bamboozldd]

@@angelwalker. 2nd comment ive seen you in salty about the entry. James was going off regardless of adam dropping 2 tires. In the video he literally admits that HE screwed it up. Only way adam is beating James straight up is by full sending it, James lost his focus for a second at the start, overcompensated for it trying to catch up on the entry, and washed out. Even arguably the best in the world mess up, happens. Downplaying someone else because of someone's mistake is lame.

[@pwar-oz4mh]

@@angelwalker. wow but hurt? where in rules dose it say cant enter that way? 40% of judging is angle a backie is just big angle! and dropping a tire dose not make it an unchasable run! and Deane is well good enough to chase and match LZ with that entry and run! he slept on the line and overshot he said and its seeable! BTW im a Deane fan over LZ and RTR it was joke but very plausible how LZs car snapped and hooked on entry it was a gangster move he needed to have a chance to win! if you wanna complain maybe try the restarts LZ needed lmfao you prolly drive an EV

[@GSMMW]

Lets go James!

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

they are getting insane with those cones. these cars are so wide it looks like you have to hurt the engine lugging it just to get around them before you can go. :

Hate those restart too just for hitting a cone its stupid the point of the chicane is too doo a chicane even is you hit a cone you still doo the chicane no need too restart the chase driver can jump the light Suck cause its causing down the hype and Focus for driver But very good still top 4 your a animal in this RTR

Do I see a flopping wing mirror in the practice runs? You need to be careful with that 🙃

that lz entry was so dishonest. i thought he will loose that one .that was two weells of track wtf ?? explain to me

[@SincereDoper]

adam didn't lose speed or force james to crash, he just dropped both back wheels off which happens all the time. if james stayed on track he would have gotten the win for adams mistake.

[@coolieee]

doesnt matter, he didnt cause dean to go off track, he coulda won if he didnt but he did, maybe next time

[@angelwalker.]

If deane didnt sleep and just stay close. Yes you are right, adam entering too deep made deane go off track. But lucky for adam that deane was far behind. But youre right. Let the adam fanboys think adam beat deane with skill lol.

[@andreastimonen]

🤡

[@andreastimonen]

🤡

[@mikehunt7857]

I think Robbie Nishida is right about the 3 strike rule for false starts/cone hits off the line (he talked about it during one of the FDJ events this year), should be changed. I think Adam was purposely faulting starts etc to play mind games. Don't get me wrong Adam is talented, and I understand getting into you opponents head etc, but I dont wanna watch someone false start every battle trying to play mind games to gain an advantage.

[@ChuckThree]

Idk if that was necessarily some tactic by LZ…. Those RTR cars are insanely big. They take the already wide Mustang, add massive over-fenders, and then 15° of front camber. Freaking things are like 10ft wide out front lol.

[@bamboozldd]

Ignoring the fact that the whole 3strike/cone shit is clowny and could be significantly improved, immediately thinking this is how Adam operates when competing, rather than just chalking it up to nerves is also pretty clowny. It's been a long time since he's even been in the top8 in FD, much less top 4 facing arguably the best drifter on the planet in basically the same car as him. Lets hold back on the negative speculations.

[@andreastimonen]

🤡

[@ShadowClueless]

Idk how LZ got the win when he blinded James while trying to do a big entry and messing it up. Like James got shook cuz I think he though LZ was gonna spin out that's why he did that at the first corner. Man the judges never tend to stop doing their worst.

[@vvevvevvvv]

Lz was still on track. James was 3 wheels of the track so judges gave him incomplete, I guess.

[@Off3er]

Cry

[@ShadowClueless]

@@Off3er Double it and give to the next person 🙂

[@ShadowClueless]

@@vvevvevvvv Oh I see but still it was not the best performance from LZ I feel LZ's actions kinda let James to do what he did in the first corner when he was chasing.

[@zachhoefs9543]

James said in the video that he was asleep at the start... if he hadn't let LZ get so far out ahead of him, he wouldn't have gotten lost in the smoke. It sucks it went down like that, but there's no need to try to tear down LZ's win.
