  • Went into this season feeling SO much better about the car/program. We had some dialing in to do - and some track learning on my part - but overall we’re extremely happy with the outcome! LZMFG.com

    Adam stop reading the comments in the live stream!! Focus on what you need to do! You have enough in your mind when your driving, you don’t need the haters! I bet 95% of the people watching want to see you do good and see you improve! The haters are just jealous that they don’t get to do what you do! 😎

      You know, the really big fans of LZ are ruining it for everyone. You don't just go and spam LZ everywhere. Like why would you spam it during other drivers battles or qualifying runs? It's like saying you're a Patriot fan at a Broncos VS Saints game or for the non-Americans, cheering for Barcelona when it's a Liverpool vs Real Madrid game (I don't follow Football/Soccer so don't blame me if those two team would ever play) Do you see the problem with that? When it becomes a habit, it becomes a problem, and that's why the majority of non LZ fans hate LZ for not controlling his fans and saying it's not ok. Look at any other sport or team and you don't see this behavior.

They're upset that someone was able to more easily propel their FD career because of a business that they had started from the ground up a decade ago.

      u mean the unchaseable run lmao. U shouldnt be doing backies in your lead runs. Castro should of gotten the win on that one. Adam had a decent chase BECAUSE the lead was decent. u cant have a good chase if the lead is inconsistent and not even close to an inner clip. I dont think he done it on purpose but his car is a literal death trap. Of course n one really knows whats happening behind the scenes but this car has never really been ready for comp. always issues with it powersteering being the main one. One of these events that car is going to be involved in a pretty serious crash. It was a pretty close call with odi. Its just a dangerous car to be around. Also the way this car self steers and snaps to angle when touching the handbrake is strange but i aint no mechanic. Honestly it wouldnt surprise me if he changes chassis to a bmw. 36 46 or even an e92 eurofighter. Last thing pat ages ago said this car handles like a piece of shit. So i wonder if they actually changed anything to improve self steer etc.

There was nothing wrong with the initiation and decel. Adam just lunged forward as there was a decently sized gap and therefore had wayy too much weight transfered which resulted in the crash. ANDD even if odi wasnt there adam would of gone straight into the kitty litter so he would of lost due to a 0 in the chase. This track is also just junk for tandems and you can clearly see drivers not knowing how much speed to carry and when to transition. But FD wont drop it because they hate change and has been the same thing since 2004. EU events blow this shit out of the water in quality and entertainment
