Why did I quit Drift Masters?

[@driftgames_life]

Thank you guys for all the support 🙏 it means a lot and we are ready to take on the challenge with you lunatics behind us 👊

[@Schmitzelhaus]

Go get them, champ! Best of luck on this new endeavour, we will be here along for the ride!

Congratulations on such a dramatic comeback Dave and I wish you the best of luck in accomplishing your goals by the end of 2024 🤞🏻🚗💨

Massive respect to Drift Games for their incredible passion and dedication to the car culture. As someone who runs a car club, Modified Syndicate, I see firsthand how your influence inspires car clubs and the next generation of enthusiasts alike. Keep pushing the limits and setting the standard for what it means to truly live the automotive lifestyle!

[@pieterv6984]

Selfishly I don't like your decision to quit commentating Drift Masters, because you and Ian are the best duo there is, and I had hoped to listen to that for many years to come.Good though that you pursue your dreams. Thank you for all the great commentary, best of luck with the new plans and above all, thank you for your inspiration on perseverance. That is most special to me. 🙏

[@PlutoKushChris]

Same :(

[@Vgk36]

I’m a48 yr old. What you are going to attempt is what older car guys like myself would be willing to do if we could. It’s not in the cards for me in this life. But it is for you. I’m fully supporting this endeavor no matter the outcome. Let’s strap in and see how far you can take this ! Let’s go Dave !!!!!

[@adematthewsracing]

It's never too late. I started racing cars at 49 years old and I've got a wall full of trophies, a great bunch of people I've met along the way and I'm raring to go for next season when I turn 60.

I really hope to see Ryusei and Falvey back for 2025 C'mon sponsors pull through! (And hopefully they wanna come back too)

[@joshfosho]

Thanks for the update! Drift Games has certainly grown into more than just Dave and Josh talking about cars in a shed. Were a family now. A freakin huge one at that. DG is a part of the culture. Car builds, partnerships, product, in freakin video games, and now a team in Driftmasters. Yall have definitely helped me get through some low times even by putting up a video to bring enjoyment even for just a small part of the day. Its crazy to think how much has happened since the fire and how much bigger DG has become. Your voice in DM Dave always brought another level of laughs and excitement and you forsure also helped grow it to what it is. Im stoked to see the drift team continue to progress. We Will NEVER Give Up. Lets freakin GO!

[@driftgames_life]

That means a lot ❤️

[@codycollins8415]

This has been my favorite channel to follow this year. I've been watching LZ and Oakes for years but ended up following D.G. a little over a year ago and to see what they have been thru has been amazing, heart-wrenching, heartwarming, funny at times, but very real. I'm not a drifter, but I deeply enjoy the sport and the content it provides. Dave, I'm so excited to see you compete, we've seen you drive with some of the best in the world and hold your own. There is no doubt you're going to crush it!! To the rest if the crew, I'm proud to see you all come back after the fire and stay true to your brand. That's some true friendship.

[@dannybennett2402]

Its sad to see you leave drift masters because it wont be the same without you but keep activing the goals you have set dave, you inspire me to keep my love of drifting alive❤️

[@IDv8I]

Thanks for keeping us up to date, we do care and want to see you rise from the ashes, literally and figuratively. Much respect and love.

[@TechkNEiK]

Drift games inspired my friend and me to start are own team hopefully starting this spring. I have never really drifted excepted on a sim and my partner has a e32 and is a excellent mechanic. keep doing dope stuff

[@driftgames_life]

Go for it!

[@WitterStyle]

I AM LEGITIMATELY EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING! This channel is one I look forward to every post! I love Drift Games! ❤

[@ShillingBH]

Falvey and Egan combo for 2025. It's a good story of a teen and a close to middle aged drifter trying to meet at the same point of excellence. What you have in experience he has in youthful reflexes and lack of fear. Love it

[@Yoshi-gz4rp]

Took me a while to get around to sitting down and watching this but still want to say this is exciting! Not only for the future of Drift Games but I'm really looking forward to seeing Dave taking drifting seriously. There's been moments of magic through out the years and some bits of really good driving, I think consistency and a conscious effort to improve will make a huge difference. Best of luck, can't wait to see more!

[@John-M35]

Massive respect to you Dave. You have done so much for the irish car scene and the whole world of drifting. You have given your life to the sport and it is about time you live the dream that you have helped so many others to live. Best of luck to you and the team you guys all deserve the best. TEAM DRIFT GAMES❤❤

[@Disruptedable]

Let it be part of your own consideration. Talent is one thing and it'll take you far. But hard dedicated work and commitment is what take you those last steps up. It opens up for everything you have already acheived and that is one hell of a platform to take the next step from. Keep up the good work mates

[@mac180sx8]

Your commentary will surely be missed ! It’s going to be great see you driving wish you best of luck 🤞

[@pancake1751]

I honestly knew for the last 4-5 videos that you were leaning into this direction. You have all the means to get into it, why not take advantage of it? Only a fool with your knowledge and ambition wouldn't. I look forward to seeing you trying to combat all the challenges (and struggles) Wish you all the luck!!

[@dzzope]

Some Dave and Jimmy joining the Shanahans in Scotland for some seat time? Love it Dave, go for it. Not sure I agree on the fire not defining your year.. I think it did but in that it lead to all the amazing things that have happened since. The devastation it brought you didn't define your year but you were shown how much you mean to people and the support they have for you from all over the world. Really lookin forward to the new gaff.

[@taylor_drift]

The fire was the Phoenix they rose from and came back stronger and more focused.

[@adamday6315]

Well said completely agree 👍

[@haroldchu13]

Chasing the dream should always be respected ❤ You’re already a giant in the drift community,you and Ian’s voice represented European drifting to me,it’s gonna be weird without your voice next season but looking forward to see you succeed with the goals you’ve chased! YOU CAN DO IT 🤙

[@robuilds]

I remember meeting you at the paddocks in Poland this year and asking you when are you going to drive pro? And you said “indeed, maybe it’s time to put my money where my mouth is”. Best of luck, can’t wait to see your journey. You’re a huge inspiration 👏👏👏

[@christomofo88]

Lets go! Driving Dave for 2025! Cant wait to see the new HQ come to life and excited to see the new projects you have planned.

[@ryangibson635]

as someone who found your videos because of the fire, I've been a massive fan of the content and the commitment to never give up, i just wish i had started watching you guys years ago. I'm currently starting my own custom bike build business and taking the same mind set. cant wait for 2025

[@PercivalDunlop]

You deserve way more views!

[@Mk4heavenHD]

Dave I enjoyed watching you drift that crazy supra at LZ world tour and you were 🔥.. All the best mate.

[@Selocmr]

Thank for the wonderful opportunity, a very very good vlog, in life it not try , its do, go and get enjoy while doing so, looking forward to seeing you getting there. Blessings and big hugs. Waiting on the edge of my seat to see the H Q come to life !!!!!!

[@traehowell8849]

I started watching you guys back when you started game changers. Building those cars and you and Josh jumping into pro drifting really was the most entertaining and it feels like it’s happened again to an extent. Can’t wait to see you jump in and compete!!!!

[@onlyhands7183]

Dealing with big changes in my life while I'm going to school, already stressed but enjoy winding down watching the vids no matter what

[@dapperdanbuilds]

Dave, you and the lads are my heros! I'm an old car guy that makes a feeble attempt at car and travel content (BackroadsandRustHoles), and y'all are such an inspiration! It's guys like you, Jimmy, and Adam that keep me trying to grow. You get knocked down, but you don't give up...and you bring your friends with you! Youve all built from nothing, and now you're living the car guy dream! I don't care what you post, I'll be watching and cheering from the mountains of Tennessee! Can't wait to see where you go from here! Never give up!

[@angmgt]

Wow !! Dave you are such an inspiration to young and old (me 53 Aussie boy ) i cannot wait to see you and the team grow from where you started from with massive hurdles along the way ! Keep kicking on and chin up 💙

[@riddlemethis01]

Dave my guy, I'm behind everyone over there in the drift games family. Right now I just got out of the hospital from fracturing my back and I'm going to be on bed rest for the next 6 months but hey, I'll be along for the ride no matter what you guys do. Keep chasing your dreams. You're going to crush it.

[@andyallen707]

The amount of passion and honesty in this video is insane. MASSIVE respect for not giving up. Wearing my Drift Games T with pride today, and just excited to see where things go for you all. Dave, you're gunna smash it in the driving side of things I can see it. Just keep your heads up through the highs and the lows and LET'S GO!!!

[@fastroadvehiclesolutions]

Dave for everything you’ve done for the sport there’s nobody more deserving to do well driving in it !! You will certainly have the biggest fan base !! Everyone I know will be routing for you !!

[@spoolnshock]

Mystery bag ordered! Love this! I can't wait to see videos of you learning how to drift better and teaching us along the way! I've always wanted to slide, and you're an inspiration to help me go for it as well!

[@srensen4251]

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would love to have a series based on your progression thru out drifting. Some people would probably be jalous by the fact that you already have an amazing team behind you, some great sponsors and also the opportunities available to be on Drift Masters.. But from your fans stand point we're just happy that we're one of the many reasons why you and your team has come to this point. From a business stand point I have no clue if it would be a profitable series but your hundreds of thousands of fans are more than excited for you and are willing to support you thru every step to the top!

[@AKOM96]

Way to go Dave! Honestly Drift Games has become my favourite YT channel! Keep it up cant wait to see whats in store! ❤

[@renniks1975]

I've only been following your channel since the fire, and the way you all bounced back and didn't give up - 'Never give up!' - was incredible. Looking forward to seeing the new HQ come together over the coming months. Concentrating on the driving is a good move - looking forward to the progression series of vids. Keep her lit Dave!!

As someone trying to make their way as a content creator, if I could achieve 10% of what you guys have done, I'd be pretty happy. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Much appreciated!

[@T150MPH]

I would never say 2024 was the year of the fire, because of that incident I found the channel and have watched pretty much every video since then. You guys having a passion for something and being resilient to keep going and rebuild after that is what made 2024. Even if you don't get to finish the new HQ at the end of the year, you accomplished more in half a year then most do in ten years. It is nice to see good people do good in life, thank you for the great content.

This video is exactly why the channel, the events, and the Drift Games brand continues to gain the respect and recognition it absolutely deserves! Your "warts and all" approach is only half of it. It's the fact that at your core, the team absolutely matches the soul of drifting - which is a group of mates, with little or no ego, thinking "I know it's mad, but wouldn't it be cool if we did..." Know we're bloody proud of how far you'v come, and we can't wait to see what the next chapter has in store! 🤟

What an awesome opportunity go for it! Looking forward to seeing practice days and sim sessions. Perfect timing as my own build nears completion for operation seat time! Lesser scale but from having to daily drive my drift cars 15 years ago it’s now a second car I don’t need to use to get to work so can learn without fear of the Monday commute requirement 😂

You saying if it's hard and it's scary it's probably the right thing to do. That hit home with me in a way that not much has this year. After losing everything a few years back. My house, my mom, and my grandma. It has been a battle to get to any kind of thing that looks like a future. Drifting has always been a big part of my life. My mom would watch all the events with me. This year a lot happened and changed from health issues to starting a new life experience. It is all scary but I keep telling myself I have to push forward. Seeing you keep going through the hard times and keep being positive has made a world of difference for me. I will miss you commentating. But I look forward to watching you drive.
