- How much does it cost to compete as a pro drifter? This year Josh entered the pro class of the Irish Drift Championship in the Nascar engined Nissan Silvia S13 we picked up earlier this year. When you add the fuel, tyres, damage and entries, is it affordable to compete at the top level? We would love to hear your thoughts on this and do you think it's good value to compete at this level?

Hold up! Are we really going to hide the best competitive driving Josh has ever done and the most laps he's successfully completed in a competition as being a maths video? That shot of you just skimming the wall was epic.
He has defo improved a lot hasn't he, I'm afraid to say because he loved the car but that the we mx5 with the sr setup was holding josh back an lot!
You are ripping it in the lowbrainer Josh!!!
No Need to be nervous on Qualifying ❤
Idk how you guys aren't getting more views and such, amazing consistent content!
thats what im saying💯 1# TH-cam channel out there. look forward to there videos Dave, Josh the whole crew is solid, Mad props & love too all of them. Just to see what they have went threw and what there overcoming and still keepin it 💯 threw it all🔥! Keep the vidz comin boizzz.👌
To see you guys in action is something else. Loving watching the channel progress. As someone intefested in Contemt creation, would love to see a couple of vids of your work flow and how you produce the quality content so fast. Its brilliant to watch
Legends , keep up the great work. I'm struggling at the moment and your videos always distract and uplift me out of my own head.
❤
We all got you king 👑
That door dive on the first chase for Josh was sick! Having a car you haven't poured your soul into is really unlocking you man. So proud of you!
Your content is fresh, keep it going!
I’d imagine factoring in a 4x4 or van plus a car transporter,a pro spec car a workshop to enable work on said car and your easily up the guts of €100,000…..the €2000 a weekend event costs on top of that without sponsorship and a top notch day job you’re in bother😄
You only live once though so you may as well enjoy what you love👌🏻😉
Great to see josh getting great seat time and well capable of a podium fair play guys keep up the hard work serious driving👌👌
Sumup off the Drift Games Journey: "Get slapped, hit the ground, get back up and come back way stronger". You guys are a true Inspiration and one off the best examples what the spirit off drifting is all about!
retiring the NC was the best decision Josh couldve made. It was cool tbf, but nothing but issues. the ps13 is already much more reliable, not constantly having low oil pressure haha
Dry sump for the win 😎
Wayne is a laugh, good Irish humour 😂
Killer vid.thx Josh.Did well Sir........ The add up total is what I earn in 2 months.....So sadly i will never get to enter or do a drift comp....even building a car that can, I will never have that budget here in South Africa. Thx again for the vid
20l for 3 laps? about 1.5 gallon per lap. Put that on a t- shirt, team 1.5LPG or ?650L/100? kms........
..
Just for the guys state side, that follow that $2137.97 USD for 1 event , being i race state side that pretty much dead on what i spend per event aswell give or take 100 bucks for fuel depending ontl the state the event is in if we dont bring our own fuel
This is turning into my favorite channel along with Adam Lz And Jimmy Oakes 🤘❤️
Holy SH*T Josh Loooks Great in the Drift Games Low Brain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always wanted too know roughly the cost of these things and this is being in ireland or Europe prices ir this in general world prices roughly ? 😮😅
Love the Video and its so nice to See that you are making good improvements. But where do you put the tires after the Event?😂
It all costs money just doing a cheap test day is still loads of money. Great video as all ways guys and well done Josh !!
wayne to the resque ;) he needs a mechanics van with welder and equipment to bring to tracks :D
Love you guys. Makes me happy to see you guys enjoying yourself again
here in the states we have a saying you might not have heard over there, its smiles per gallon not miles per gallon. if you enjoyed it its worth it.
And that’s why we keep doing it 🤗
Great to see what it actually costs! Now all I need to be able to figure out is how things are scored at a drift event!
Is the diff lose or an arm the qualifying run the wheel was shifting
Drift Games Forever❤
If your watching the vidéo pls put a 👍 those guys deserve it so mutch
Big up Drift Games ❤
Jotch is surprisingly good at drifting
How do you become a millionaire through drifting? Be a billionaire starting off 😂 sick driving!
Facts!
YESSSS JOSH!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was literally yelling and screaming at my TV watching you're first battle that you WON!!!!
FUUUCK YESSS BUDDDDDYYY!!!!
🤘🤘🤘💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I am SOOOOO DAMN PUMPED for you AND YOUR TEAM!!!
ALL OF YOI GUYS DESERVE A MASSIVE PAT ON THE BACK!!!
You can see the wheel wobble in the first run as well
Congrats Josh, you may not driving her as lowbrained but you're driving her as she deserv to be drove...
Patience and pratice, make us proud please...
Looking way more confident mate.
#TEAMJOSH ... now shut up and drive. Be happy and thankful Josh, your living a dream. We ❤ U.
Way to go, Josh, our name rules. Good job way to progress even with the car issue. And I thought the price of the car scared me away.
Luke Fink juju that car has
Well done josh, try learn to use just the clutch instead of the handbrake then you would of had the 2nd battle.. the speed use are going it only takes a 1/2secs with the clutch in to back off a enough to miss without actaully slowing down with the handbrake.. get yourself a owl banger for doing we drift days like oval days etc you will master door to door an the timing.. dave will be able to tell you what nutts corner is like we all go door to door with 5/6 cars in a row but there is also a lot of wreckers 😂😂😂
13:13 That „Run ma‘fukka run“ killed me 😅😅😅 insane effort from the shopcrew and your friends there to eventually save the weekend 🔥🔥🤌🏽
Edit: amazing first battle then from Josh! The hard work has paid off 🔥
Freaking killin it guys! I love the good sportsmanship. If you can't be ok with losing, you won't get better!
Josh and the Lowbrain have become one
Im not doing anymore " video if asking for a drift truck build " things because i keep getting non-stop harassed for it.
Brilliant video. Many thanks for the cost breakdown, was definitely very helpful and insightful! Also, very nice driving out there - can see you are getting nice and comfy with that car now.
Josh driving is all the story your video needs, thanks for the info but we just want to see josh and all of you guys do more drifting, especially tandem together!
in belgium we only have wet events so im using a set of tires over 2 events with 200 hp max , and im doing only 4 to 5 events a year. for the youtubes i can understand why u guys do this BUT for people having a normal job its still doable to have fun get some doors and not get into debt xD. i wish i had budget to do this at this level tho. one love
U freaking killing it in the lowbrain Josh, i cannot wait to watch u win your first comp!!!
love you josh you mong
Great driving Josh! You looked comfortable in there.
Awesome video yet again Josh and Lucas you lads are just surrounded by the best of people,hats off to Wayne he truly is a legend with how much he’s helping the drift games crew when ye really need it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼
i was kinda lazy for watching 28 minutes video but enjoyed very much that i did not even notice how time flew.this guy is good person to watch and the car is beautiful asf♥♥♥
AMAZING drifting Josh, you and that machine are in sync. Can't wait to see more! 😎👌🏼
I literally had a comment typed out about seeing the wheel move funny in his first qualifying and then it fully broke 😬 haven’t watched the rest of the video yet but keep up the good work lads!! Content is top tier and so is the driving!!
Josh from one to another, damn your driving is getting so good and this car is the fit man! Making it look so good and the videos are top quality! that battle win baby never give up!
The amount of set backs you fellas have had in the last few months but just keep bouncing back and keep throwing punches is incredible to see you keep killing it lads and keep up the hard work
Word on the grapevine is TeaBrake is a better drifter than Wayne. Shots fired 😂
2 rounds proven 🙊
Something about this documentary style for events that is a pleasure to watch
Probably worth looking at reinforcing the rear subframe if it was the torque that broke the subframe.
Does the crew cost estermate include the cost of hiring the dog?
Dog is a volunteer 😂
Where can i get these westlakes at?
What a great video.
Good job, gave a great insight of what it takes.
Great job driving, as well as repairing the car and getting back out there.
Well done Josh, you have a great team behind you, no money can pay for lads like that,
Nice one Josh 👏 Never give up
What about the wear and tear on the engine and driveline, rebuild each x number of events etc
Unreal guys plenty of stunning pics from the weekend 🔥
I’m glad you can teach and take tough breaks take the positive out of it.
I’m just here to petition Josh should ALSO go to Ferropollis! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Well done josh your driving that car with great talent 👌💪
POINT THE CAMERA THE OTHER WAY! TALKING HEADS!
The sound is much better when pointing at you as it’s noisy around. Also there’s a lot of information in it that I’m saying so not sure where you would like me to point it when I’m saying all that 🤔
You guys really don't get the credit you deserve... WE NEED TO HELP DRIFT GAMES GET MORE SUBSCRIBERS!
We watching this July 3 knowing I’m not gonna get sleep with war zone happening outside.
Awesome video and great effort Josh really starting to throw that car around 👌 very cool getting an inside into what it all costs too. My question is what is the reward if you win a single event? How many events would one podium get you 🤔✌️
Nothing close to the cost 🙈
@Josh looks very comfortable in the new whip. So good to actually see how well he controls the car opposed to the mx5's. Just goes to show just how much they were holding him back.
Get in there Josh 🤙🏻.
Gktech subframe reinforcement kit 👌
Plan in motion to strengthen the new one
Well dpne lads 🎉 👏 Great driving Josh 👌💯🤙
Drifting is cheap when you start, goes downhill from there
The one thing I miss is meeting new people, when your car has an issue or someone else’s does, random people will show up and help you
A lot dearer than I thought! I spent 2k on flights & accommodation in Dubai for 2 weeks 😂 Some thrill though 🙌
This video just proves that the problems since frikken ever havent been Josh's skills, the cars have let him down so much it's not funny.
Well done Josh and the whole team you are on the right path, maybe you could do a video on the cost of a beginners day drifting with a stock car?.
Bandana one more time in every video or i quit liking drifting.
i LOVE how everyone came together to get the car back out as fast as possible !! 🤘🖤🤘
West lakes are good tires I always ran them I used to get myn from Ireland off Christie as coodnt find them in London
great video guys. great driving josh!!
Why didn't Dave say the torque twisted the chassis off the line
im gonna be soooo pumped up when josh gets a win
🫡
🤙
Josh is killing it in the new ride looking good man keep it up ❤🔥💯💪🏼
Ole boys sendin it
The drone clips are too good💯🔥🔥
Congrats man. Nice work
Josh, you love that handbrake...a lot...lol. Trust the grip and the gas peddle dude. You throw it in and make it look sick, just keep it going. That was the best comp, longest too, lol, that I've seen you do. Great job.
I was in between gears so had to use it a little more
@@driftgames_life Enjoy your content Josh, just busting your balls...sorry don't listen to me, I'm old and a good armchair quarterback.
drift car merch when???
Soon!
Great driving Josh!!
Nice one Josh, good effort!!!
Josh can finnaly enjoy drifting :D
Cost: large
Forehead: larger
inspirational ! ! !
Still living up to the motto..
Never give up!!!
It’s our only move 😂
8.39 watch the wheel go crazy and bend or twist or jar that looked like it was badly broken or cracked or only 2 nuts on one side
Brilliant video lad! A good honest approach. Well done in Josh. Tough top 16 battle
