#SAMMIT
Those one more time runs are a blessing in disguise. I see where the judges were coming from in their decision, but that many on more time runs gave you A LOT of precious competition seat time that isn't exactly easy to get. that kind of seat time is so different from practice and I'm glad you got it.
That's a very positive way of looking at it!
Hugely agree on this... He goes up and up and up each round passes, hope for a HUGE result next round
It is an imaginary top 4 result for Sammit 🤣
Never thought about it that way
20:24 That was the coolest, saddest, emotionalest, most beautiful mood shot/ segway thing you've ever edited, the music and the weather really tied it all together.
That last battle had me yelling at the TV . All your leads were good and he didn't give a good enough lead for a solid chase run, all in all it was fun to watch at 11 at night lol.
I know right. Not once did sammit drop a tire or two.
While the other guy did multiple times
Yeah i agree sammits lead runs are op! but i think you should just get someone to let you chase them in practise for a week just chase only because you just need the xp.
I said the same thing. The other drifter, to me, he was slow.
I rarely comment but your performance during the head to head showed a massive leap forward for you. Well done Sam, hold your head high.
Should of won the first one in my opinion. Your lead was better than his and he straightened out on his chase you didn’t.
They called the first one a OMT because he went all the way to the left before initiating and the judges told them before hand not to do that. If it wasn’t for that he would have easily won the first one
I agree
Also the other driver went to two tires off
Called a OMT because he isnt Japanese
Should have* not should “of” 😂😂
The sock sniper at 7:15 was the most random thing I’ve ever seen in one of your videos 😂
Great drive! Never give up, you have a lot of people rooting for you and a lot more being inspired by your hard work.
Almost looked as though they were looking for a reason to not let you through… Random inspections, one more time twice and just very harsh judging. Doing well sammit, keep up the good work 👍
Amazing battle! And you had the opportunity to have 3 tandem runs even if you didnt make it past top16 this time. Keep the grind going!
Sammit 100% should have won. Definetly got robbed on a win, regardless great job. Love all the vids, stay great!
The judging in FDJ and US have been very bad this year to be honest, they need to review how their critiria need to be equally applied in each battle. I watched all the DMEC rounds this year and they have been way way better, FD should take note of that and learn.
Dmec judging is very consistent in comparison to other leagues
Your positivity is a gift. Much love from my family and I all the ways from Canada.
I still cant believe the call him on that win... Specially after dropping 2 tires both times in that last one cmon man
Good morning, Sam. The Aussie underdog was leading the chat, and we we all supporting you. Team Sammit Supporters were also supporting and asking about Daiki. After the 3 " one more times,"The chat room collapsed! Your sponsors get great advertising and are the best 👍Keep it up and stay real. 🙏 The Drift gods. Sugoi ✌️ 🤘🇯🇵🇦🇺
Had that sammit sense when the livestream was going. Swapped over to see your run as you left the line. Keep at it man
i just love sammit is just enjoying his time in FDJ2
All part of the process. Getting dialed AF 👌
Handled like a champion. You're 100% right. Drive so the judges have no choice but to give you the win.
Awesome video as usual. Thanks for great uplifting content bro!
Suggestion write down all of your final settings. Keep a notebook with all of the tracks with the best settings for each and do it every time. You can keep track over years. When you show up for a track you can bring it to the track “ready.” Then work from there if changes are needed.
...and finally, " well done mate ! " you kicked ass.
You totally won the first round it was clear as day and they should be ashamed of themselves for calling two one more times when it wasn't necessary at all !! You're a great sport to not get loud an cause a problem but it can't be much clearer that that first battle run !! Great job Sam keep grinding and you will 100% podium !!!
it probably wasn't communicated to him that the lead shouldn't use the whole track width to initiate and he stopped doing that in the first OMT. Already noticed that in the qualification that he was the only one doing that and I had a bad feeling about it. Super unfortunate but at least he ganied some XP.
The first run was yours and the judges screwed up bro!!! Great job Sam!!!
Wonderful song choices. Sammit you will still win. As the name of the song used : Nuevas Esperanzas S15 Monstro
That last one more time is what got you. The second run was all yours but due to mistakes you both made they wanted another. His lead run on the last run was really good and knocked you out
Great driving Sam, you where definitely robbed of a win, keep it up
That rain was definitely a sign. I’m not even gonna mention the fact that the entirety of the people watching the live stream were only on there for you bro. Literally everyone left the live stream after they made that call.
I was up at midnight watching this go down live and thought you should have won the first go around and the last one , can’t wait to watch you drive the next event ! Keep it up !
Yeah that cast aluminum steering wheel adapter, they do that. Mine did it as well. Cracked all the way through the hub. I put a nice billit one on, no more problems.
Just keep progressing. You have came so far since I first started watching this channel. Keep it up.
Sam I like the intro how u had it with the cinematic kinda then you switched to the im car view with the beat that’s perfect, would recommend to do that more
That’s one sketchy call. I wouldn’t want that stress, making that call. But,at the end right is right. 2 wheels were out!
Hoping to stop by soon and cop some merch🤙🏻
You did really amazing Sammit; I’m really proud of you and how much you’ve accomplished and improving more and more every event. Keep going 🫶🏽
The fan in me wants to be mad with the result, but the stoic in me thinks this was a great battle! You may have not qualified but you had extra runs, you practiced, you got better again.
Good on you for keeping positive man your killing it improved so much !
trying to slap the hydro into 2nd had me in tears hahhaa ur a crackup bro 🤣🤣
It would have to rain on top of it all. Dont let it get to you Sammit. You're stili living the dream for most of us!!
Yo that was hard af my homie said the crack of lighting and thunder hits immediately after there decision idc if it was an exageration byt the proof was there terential down pours and when it rains like that in my area it means the lighting and thunder was literally rumbling the entire ground beneath it feel that sh** in your soul. Drift gods was pissed, but awesome attitude about it shows your growth and maturity. Keep getting seat time and you're feel sweet success everytime u even get to go out there has to be sick one day fam ill sa e the money to build my car i just found to follow you and many others man this craps my life and this made my day i eat sleep work all for drifting. Keep inspiring.
Your leads and chases were brilliant. Sam, the judges must have been watching a different battle
Well done Sam, your runs we're awesome. Keep pushing 💪
Mate great effort in those battles, love watching your videos, you're enthusiasm shines in your videos .
Those were some awesome battles! Well done Sam! I agree I thought you would take the win as well. You both were great tho!
waiting for this video! great video btw, also dont be sad Sam, you will beat em up next time
Proud of your progress. I hope you keep doing well and improving : )
Should of gotten this win Sam, your leads and chases were better, keep it going man
Honestly wish that FD will adopt a judging system similar to DOSS in D1GP, where it ISN'T up to humans to make decisions and every point scored is purely based on actual criteria where there is no variance between runs and points scored actually reflect driver skill and the quality of their runs. Sucks that the judges couldn't see that the first round was a win for Sam, and I also hope that the next time a round is held in Okuibuki, the track isn't some of the slowest driving all year. Some in clips would also be nice, but obviously FD hates in clips.
You should have won great job out there Sam love to see you continue to progress every time you go out there a shred tires 🕺🕺🕺
Grate driving man you deserved the win 100%, keep on driving your heart out you got round 5 in the bag🙏🤙
Awesome video as always Sammit. You should have got first place your a amazing and awesome driver.
I think you did get robbed on that battle but you also look like you are really settling into the car now. I love watching the in car film after the weekend battle. Gives a whole new perspective after we watch it live. Lets go for next round !!!!
Godbless you Sam, and yeah I agree being a good sports men as well your humble! Much love brother🙏🫶
Respect Sammit!👍👏
Good job Sam! You are definetly improving 👍 Just by watching the FD streams I could see that you are getting better and better 👌💪 Dont let that take you down, you're gonna show them next Round🫡🤙
You won the first round out of that deal in my opinion!!! He made several mistakes and your chase was pretty on point! But that’s the thing with judges you never know what they’re going do or what they’re thinking!! But you did great! Keep that confidence going to the next round and keep the nerves calm and shred!
shoulda protested, kazu had two tyres off for two leads lmao
He said in the stream he did try. They told him he can’t protest something that is subjective
Dude, that’s crazy. In my opinion you won all those battles. I honestly think there might be some sort of Japanese bias, I could be wrong but like you said…you just gotta drive better. Amazing content since day one
This was the best you’ve looked on a race day dude keep whatever it is you’re doing up!! 🔥
Watched it live. Great work ❤
At least you didn't go out without a fight, you went hard and the good news is there's room for improvement, which you are capable of. Keep going strong 💪🏽 man...
im not one to say but 1st round sam, 2nd round omt, 3rd round sam... but it is what it is. keep up the good work sam and one day on god you are gonna be on the podium and even win the championship!! forever gonna be your support sam! love u keep yr head up high and go hella shred next round!!!
that last run was bs!
That track layout was so great they did it again. 😵💫
For real! Smh
Good job, you're so close . Keep it going😊
I don't know if I agree with the judges' decision but it was definitely a lot of practice for you. From my perspective, your weakest point in lead runs was the OZ4 with the late transition that didn't let you enter it correctly. On the other hand, Kazutaka ultimately won the 3rd place, and you're the only one he had to battle so hard that it took three hits. That makes you one of his strongest opponents in the entire round and, I dare say, potentially good enough for the podium. I think that's a huge deal on its own. You're getting visibly better each round, so I have no doubt that that win will come.
Not what we wanted for you Sam. You got a good amount of track time and 2 more one more time. Next time on the podium good job
Love the positive energy despite the outcome, keep at it!
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?!?!
Mate you should of won that, your driving was outstanding. Respect for being humble and a good sportsman🙏
That's rough calling the first run OMT I thought that was close but a win. Better luck next event
been waiting for this upload since saw the fdj2 live stream baby
u doing great man..hope u get more lucky on next round battle
That was your win for sure man !!! 😮 use it as motivation next round is yours
I guess on a positive note you got allot of seat time and practice but that last round pissed me off more than i have ever been watching FD J2. And I made sure to let them know how i felt. You did seem allot more comfortable in your comp car than ive seen you. And the rain at the end was the drift gods crying
I thought you won too but I’m probably biased and I’m not even a drifter but I love watching you progress man and I wish you the best going forward!
That's the proper attitude brother. Keep em coming.
You should have one the first battle
I was so heated! Idk how the judges came to that conclusion with your Leads being so much cleaner and committed and the judges even saying he had 2 tires off! Smh
Sam I'm so proud of you man keep it up I know it will work out for you
I have you winning the first and second runs but not the third. Anyway that’s all part of the sport and you’ve looking good out there!!!
You are really living my childhood dream. Your videos are amazing!!
Being humble and receptive enough to "not curse the stubbed toe" (judges) is an excellent quality unbeknownst to most. Judging all year on all sides of the pond have been questionable at best. Still a W in most our eyes. I thought surely on the second omt i was gunna see a backy 😂
I hate seeing you losing Sir Sam😔 I want to see you in a final round,hope soon I could. Wishing you the best Sir Sam.
After so many OMTs I definitely don't agree with the judges choice. However that's the nature of the sport and at the end of the day so, So many OMTs really shows how well you put the car in all the right places and made the decision hard as hell for the judges to make. Great driving!
Awesome driving Sammit. What a sportsman u are. Better luck next time.
add steering colum doo-daa to your emergencey bag. check zip ties. 10-12-14mm wrenches. add chewing gum! you'll be amazed how much it helps.
Damn I waited long for this. Can't wait to view it now.
At the end of the day, you're having a great time and enjoying every moment of it. Keep it up and and live the dream! 🌊🌊🌊🌊
You qualified,,you went head to head,, so next go to the podiums 😊
I like that you have finally lowered the front end of the car a bit, looks far better. I think you need to improve your reaction times, less hand brake, more driving
And honestly kinda looks like the 2nd and 3rd judge had it out for you. Idk
Well done Sam you did really well my friend I watched it the whole race and you raced much better than the other driver mate so yeah in my opinion you should’ve won it❤
I just really don’t get how he had 2 tires off first run like FD judges are crazy 🤦🏻♂️
Keep going bro hard times lead to great execution
Wow that track looks difficult to drift, let alone get on doors sheesh. Bet its fun learning that one, and to get 2 OMT runs, lucky guy, the more the merrier id say :D my fav thing about drifting isnt just the skills i learn and the fun but it also helps my mindset in different situations. Keeping calm and colective :) keep doing what you do mate ❤
🎉 good joob sam... Bad joob for the judges 2 and third... It's big line.... They can't figure. Keep forward... Sam🎉🎉🎉
Getting better and better Sammit
To be fair your steering wheel changed location even just a little. Messes with your muscle memory. You did awesome my dude
glad you reached this point in ur life man!
Just keep on chasing ur dreams and you will succeed in FD Sam 😊
Any sport is competitive and we are passionate about being involved. Are emotions is very strong and it’s ok to be upset, angry or happy but we have to learn how we cope with them. You done a great job it looked really technical layout. but what you should do is always try and replicate these layouts and practice these technical turns. I’m no expert in this sport but it’s something I would do. I analyse just by watching and see what is best for more practice
