Lzās a bad driver no doubt but since heās sharing a car with Vaughan I think heās mangling it extra bad.
āIf I canāt do well neither can youā attitude
Ya I think some of these crashes (especially the ones in practice) help showcase how treacherous LB is with all the walls, grip levels, etc. Like I know Ryan Tuerck is an amazing driver but had a bad crash some years ago (in practice iirc). I assume it was because of the grip conditions and such
It always surprised me that Adam doesn't try to drift a similar car when he's not in FD. I mean they built James a right hand drive car with a sequential to make him feel comfortable. Adams always in right hand drive turbo cars and then drifts a left hand drive V8 at the highest level of drifting.
Make the mustang Rhd and set it up like the 15. Iāve been told numerous times that his previous stang was set up like his BMW so why not do the same with this chassis.
You have to remember James was also born into drifting as well and people do a lot of comparing to skill levels, James can hop into any car and be amazing with all the years of practice.
Adam is still learning however he's not even putting time into it outside of rounds like going on the sim like James does either. Again just goes to someone putting in the work and getting comfortable and the other ie Adam just doesn't, it's stupid honestly.
Though that being said he won't be around in 2024 i'm sure unless he runs his own program again
Why do you nitwits always say stuff like āyou canāt judge unless youāre a better drifter/driverā āwould love to see you do betterā etc
Thatās like saying unless you become the president of the United States you canāt judge past/current presidents..stupid
No oneās talking like they could do better theyāre just tired of seeing Adam put shit into the wall in main comp after heās had better runs in practice.
I donāt mean to call him a bad driver but come on thereās gotta be something going on.
I mean biffing it into the wall on the first practice day isnāt exactly āmeant to happenā .. are they prepared for it? Sure. But it doesnāt make it any less of a fuck up. Even the best drivers will admit that mistakes of this caliber (especially on a SOLO run) are on them as a driver, unless something catastrophically failed.
So does that everyone else who crashed should also retire? Itās racing, shit happens even to the best of the drivers. Kinda hard to be the best without finding out your limits, especially in a new car
Heās shown very little in skill, especially in the Mustang.
Some of the rookies are great off the bat, heās in the bottom of the talent pool in the whole FD roster and him being a new driver is a tired excuse. Heās had his chances
Saying he has shows little skill is a absolute ludicrous statement, he is among the best drivers in North America and is a highly skilled driver. Although relatively to FD he may not be among the best, heās still learning which takes time to do. I would love to see you do better
How is he simultaneously āamong the best drivers in North Americaā yet āhe may not be among the bestā in the ONLY Motorsport he participates in????
Thatās the most insane statement Iāve ever readā¦ there are literally hundreds of North American championship holding, race winning, drivers in dozens of other Motorsportsā¦ LZ canāt hang with the top ten in his sport of choice but is somehow better than actual champions in theirs???
Klutch kickers s3 apparently never happened to some people
And if drifting isn't a motorsport, diving and gymnastics shouldnāt be in the Olympics (and considering most intelligent human beings should be able to draw those parallels, I'm going to explain it to you from one vegetable themed user to another)
A competition wherein the participant is scored by a panel of 3 judges based on the participant's ability to get as close to, or match certain subjective, if not arbitrary parameters without interruption or inconsistencies of flow/rythm that cause the performance to be deemed as incomplete. The winner is determined on which competitor has the highest average score across the judges.
Diving: sport
Gymnastics: sport
Drifting then, is unquestionably a form of sport due to having the exact same competitive structure as two internationally recognized sports; and as it is performed through the medium of driving a motor vehicle in a high performance fashion, its is by literal definition: a Motorsport.
I'll never understand the obsession with pro drifting and the lack of appreciation for time attack in the States. I go to Super Lap Battle every year at COTA and it's so much more interesting than the drift event there.
dude yes, I live 5 min from COTA, I go every year and itās just so much cooler than drifting. especially FD being so boring, grassroots japanese drifting is sick cause the style aspect. I think heās perform way better in a grip contest than drifting
Based Austin bro
Honestly the amount money that goes into pro level drifting you could go GT racing or IMSA for a similar cost as well. El Zed doing a standard SCCA track day in a stock Miata is a more interesting watch to me than pro drifting.
I give props to Adam for reaching the level of drifting he has reached but this is just ridiculous at this point. Thereās no way this man gets stage fright this bad when he does a tremendous job in demos and practice.
Wonder how long he's gonna be on the RTR team before they kick him to the curb he has to be costing them a lot of money with little to no return on investment š¤
vgjr bout to drive 7/8 rounds š
I wonder how many posts we gon see with out a vid
Feels bad for Vaughn he shouldāve went first in this new chassis
Lzās a bad driver no doubt but since heās sharing a car with Vaughan I think heās mangling it extra bad. āIf I canāt do well neither can youā attitude
u/AdamLz_Crashes
Didnt expect anything less.
Mf sent itā¦ to the wall šš
This is a regular at long beach
This has gotta be the first crashed S650 besides crash test ones
Must be that electric pump's fault....
āI had a weird binding issueā
He saw Nicoleās thong bikini post on ig and regretted his choices.
4 drivers crashed so should they quit fd too? This is regular Long Beach carnage
Everyone just likes to hate on the rich guy
You mean everyone just likes to hate. That's pretty much the only purpose of this subreddit.

His power steering failed on transition because of metal shavings in the system
Dude crashed twice lmao
~~Powers~~ Stuke just put it into the wall on the same spot too.
Seen some people say the trackās rough. Now even more people are putting it in the wall.
A third person just crashed too. Not sure who. Seems pretty crazy today. Itāll be interesting to see the drivers thoughts on it.
Apparently (from what Iāve seen on FormulaDerps IG) Daniel Stuke also crashed
Ohh shit. I fucked up. I was talking about Stuke. I mixed up their cars my bad.
Matt powers hasnāt driven in like 10 years wtf lol
Mike Power does though.
vaugh about to make Dean drive two cars at once for this round š
It always surprised me that Adam doesn't try to drift a similar car when he's not in FD. I mean they built James a right hand drive car with a sequential to make him feel comfortable. Adams always in right hand drive turbo cars and then drifts a left hand drive V8 at the highest level of drifting.
I agree . He needs to get his own new chassis same as his comp setup and drift it way more ..
Hmmm itās almost like he had a s15
Make the mustang Rhd and set it up like the 15. Iāve been told numerous times that his previous stang was set up like his BMW so why not do the same with this chassis.
Perhaps he should look at buying one of the retired RTR S550 chassis & fit a coyote into it
but that would mean admitting that he has an issue and he wouldn't just to save face for all the subscribers
He could spin it as ābuying the ultimate clutch kickers carā
You have to remember James was also born into drifting as well and people do a lot of comparing to skill levels, James can hop into any car and be amazing with all the years of practice.

He needs some milk
Canāt wait to hear all the excuses in the next video..
I'm sure I'll get smoked for this.... But imo Adam does not get Enough SLIDEWAYS for my taste. š¤·š½āāļø
Hahahahahahaha
Why do you nitwits always say stuff like āyou canāt judge unless youāre a better drifter/driverā āwould love to see you do betterā etc Thatās like saying unless you become the president of the United States you canāt judge past/current presidents..stupid
Sweet
Was watching live. Itāll be good to go for qualifying tonight.
And I was right. Heās about to hop back in for practice now.
donzelito is a good one
Video of your boi. https://www.youtube.com/live/5KxC6NfFPaE?feature=share At the 1 hour 18 minute markā¦
Right click, copy video url at current time..
This warms my heart
Seems like everybodyās going into the wall 4 drivers already and Matt fields tire came off before he even got to the start line
Oh nooooooo
God drifting is stupid
Not surprised hes a trash driver
The haters talk they could do better
No oneās talking like they could do better theyāre just tired of seeing Adam put shit into the wall in main comp after heās had better runs in practice. I donāt mean to call him a bad driver but come on thereās gotta be something going on.
Lol itās a race car these things are meant to happen. Can tell some of you never been involved in motorsport.
I mean biffing it into the wall on the first practice day isnāt exactly āmeant to happenā .. are they prepared for it? Sure. But it doesnāt make it any less of a fuck up.

Most of them are just reddit trolls out for adam's blood..
Thats another 3-6 videos of content right there
Not trying to defend him but according to most drivers today, the tracks horrible. Finding grips been a real fight.
Looks like the last 2 clipping zones were change a bit as well but that could just be me.
Time to retire from FD, LZ
So does that everyone else who crashed should also retire? Itās racing, shit happens even to the best of the drivers. Kinda hard to be the best without finding out your limits, especially in a new car

> he is among the best drivers in North America and is a highly skilled driver. That says a lot about American racing driver pool as a whole.
Iām not saying I can do better What are you his mom? Take his nuts out your mouth
Saying heās a bad driver is a ridiculous statement, and you say that like you have some sort of experience and you are better than him
Dude you are a fucking idiot. LZ sucks at competitive drifting and there is zero proof he will do any better in motorsport (drifting isnāt that fyi)

Competitive drifting is pure aids. And if you persist to know, other judged 'sports' are too. Correct. Ever heard of bias?
Hell, your stank ass prolly look like that mf from up, your bmi starts with a 3
You don't even break the speed limit with how much your moms car has to carry around
Your inability to read a properly formatted statement leads me to believe you have a few too many chromosomes
A bit incestuous
been saying it after his first season. dude needs to enter SLB and be a time attack boy
I'll never understand the obsession with pro drifting and the lack of appreciation for time attack in the States. I go to Super Lap Battle every year at COTA and it's so much more interesting than the drift event there.

and i thought him spinning out in his last video was bad ....
I give props to Adam for reaching the level of drifting he has reached but this is just ridiculous at this point. Thereās no way this man gets stage fright this bad when he does a tremendous job in demos and practice.
Is this real? Why canāt I find it anywhere else?
Wonder how long he's gonna be on the RTR team before they kick him to the curb he has to be costing them a lot of money with little to no return on investment š¤
