Testing my RTR Mustang for Formula Drift

After the off-season rebuild - the cars get one hardcore shakedown prior to competition. Chelsea and I drove the heck out of these Mustangs at OSW for two jam packed days of fun, car development, and learning! LZMFG.com Drifthq.com

I’m so excited for FD this year. Big hopes that Adam has his most “winningest” year yet!

[@sen0ner577]

Successful!

[@deanojalapeno]

That's exactly what i was thinking, his tyres on the mustang makes more smoke aswell, which i think is just fair compared to the competition, it's time that the tables turn and he throws the competition off.

[@brittanyreilly4536]

yeah it looks like just an overall more well rounded complete drift car for FD, it was very cool to hear that they were even faster already in testing which is crazy, im pumped for this season to start. adam already looks comfortable in the car and very consistant driving. should be a great year for the rtr team.

[@ssfamous2.0]

Congratulations Adam! Can't wait to see some of your events this year. I'm so glad you joined Vaughns team! I think it's a perfect fit for you. Keep doing you bro 👍 "Keep Moving Sideways!"

Did lz go yet?

[@calebbainbridge4743]

Has LZ joined Vaughns or Chelsea’s team now?

[@fruitygranulizer540]

watching Adam pull away from Chelsea in the lead runs like that is so incredible. this man has gone so far

[@johnnyboyg]

I agree with you on that 100%

[@tsar2057]

He pulls away because its near unchaseable run (fyi, its not hating on LZ, i love seeing him in that car). He just need more time in that car, we all know he is new to this chassis. Another thing is, Chelsea isn’t risking it to chase 100% bc these cars are just newly built

[@randomchannel4886]

Chelsea would tear him a new one in the back if he wanted to🥸

[@Slammed46]

@@tsar2057 ya'll say he needs more time. But jeez Chelsea has said it himself. They NEVER get this much practice. He just hops in the car and goes

[@joshc9846]

@@Slammed46 to be fair, Denofa is very commonly regarded as one of the best drifters on the planet. He literally is a drift instructor.. It's a good thing too, because he won't be getting the same level of driving from Adam that he's used to getting from Vaughn, for quite awhile I imagine.

[@qjohn6264]

Man, the amount of technical knowledge between you and Chelsea is amazing. Killer drivers this year with a killer team. And more comfortable with the car already! This is going to be a intense year.

[@jakesmall3454]

Absolutely love that slo-mo from the camera truck where you can see the tire flexing and the bumper draggin the bank. So excited for FD!!!

[@elliotsmith3360]

Hyped for this FD season. At first I was a little sad that Adam decided not to be his now title sponsor but seeing the content he's been able to make now that he doesn't have an FD program to run is amazing. And I love the new car and livery.

[@AzureCrux]

He's just winning at this point. He gets the best of everything and isn't compromising at all like he was last year. 2022 is his year to lose, honestly

The transitions and camera work on this episode are amazing. Mike did have much more time to work on this than usually.

[@jjansen987]

Adam so happy for you being able to just race this season and not have to worry about any else for once. I hope you have your best season yet! 🍻 So cool to have RTR backing you!

[@Bikaz]

We are watching a new dream team in the making. I love the energy between you and chelsea. Not gonna lie, the livery reveal didnt blow me away as much, but the testing holy moly, im so incredibly pumped for the season to start. Already seeing some incredible driving and progress, these cars seem so well set up and so well thought out, its a completly different world from the s15. And no offence to your old team, they did an insane job too, but I feel with all the research and developement and all the knowledge in the RTR team, theres great opportunities ahead and I hope to see you and chelsea grab those podiums. Hope we get to see some RTR final battle at some round this season, would be so stoked to see that.

[@growlith6969]

I was really surprised at how well his own program worked, everyone worked their asses off and it showed. But man it's hard to beat what they've got here. All the right backing, all the right tech, all the right people all working together.

[@sirmonkey1985]

yeah, it's missing that decal flare that his car had but still glad that while both cars look similar with the yellow they're still quite different so it's easy to see who is who on the track.

[@Bikaz]

@@sirmonkey1985 Ye agreed. Think the issue also is, that the triangle shapes look good on the livery and probably look good up close, but on camera/video you cant really tell its there, so in the battles it will just look like a fade without any further livery apart from sponsor logos which is kind of a shame.

[@MoonRammer]

cant wait for the interview with aaron losey in the future, and him asking about the car and digging into everything about the rtr journey, i just love the way he interviews people

[@roblilt7359]

I'm cautiously optimistic but sure hope to see at least a podium or 2 by the end of the season. Vaughn wouldn't let him in the car if he didn't believe Adam had the potential!

[@mindedchaos]

this car is 1000000 percent more controlled and dialed than the nissan looks so much better to control

[@Slammed46]

Yes he would. Adam is not there to win. He's there to bring recognition to Vaughns team/brand

[@joshc9846]

If I recall correctly Vaughn said to Adam that this season will be a feeler for Adam. By next year he hopes and expects to see the car podium. IIRC, Vaughn said this in the reveal video Adam released about signing to RTR.

[@sirmonkey1985]

he'll get podium's but it's not a priority.. vaughn just wants him to get use to the car and the program they have setup first without having the expectations to win/podium every event on his shoulders.

[@thesigmaenigma9102]

I can already see Adam's skill improving on this platform. He's chomping at Chelsea's door during chase laps. He will topping leaderboards in no time.

[@robertellis1246]

Soo stoked for you Adam looking great this year bring it on

[@donovanstump88]

I remember you grinding bmx runs in walmart parking lots and now you're drifting in a custom built, fully sponsored, rtr drift stang. You're killing it man!!!!!!!

[@cheekychae]

Waiting for FD to start for more content like this feels like forever , could easily see your confidence in the car increase every lap and Chelsea shredding like he always does :)

[@OldMateMitty]

The dual view of the runs over doing an inside and an outside for more content was sick. Great to be able to skip back 10 seconds and compare what I see inside the car and how it translates to outside of the car! Thanks Mike!

It’s crazy to see adam’s evolution in drifting, I remember him saying onetime on a vlog when he was with his ex wife that he had no future motivation to become a professional drifter. Now it’s 2022 and here he is. It’s very inspirational and shows that if you set your mind to something it can be achieved. I really want to see Adam on that podium this year! You got this man!

[@foamdataservices]

I think the problems for the LZ team were that they didn’t have the experience, budget or management skills to run a full, competitive program and develop the car. The biggest thing RTR has is it’s people and the development they have put into the team as well as the car.

[@allspooledup2584]

@@fastec5 ya and Dean has been the running that set up for years. Him and his team now the program inside and out. Adams team was way too green to be competitive.
