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 !!!!!
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.
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!
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!
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. 🙏
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.
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❤️
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!!
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 👏👏👏
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
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.
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
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 !!!!!!
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!
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
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
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.
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!!!!
Drifting competitions is not easy because the standard is so high and the tracks are really difficult conditions. I'd have no chance winning a race Vs a pro go kart driver. I'm really looking forward to watching the new HQ build. I heard Japan's lads say the Nissan skyline R34 gtr is the best drift car. I believe it's all about the car, if you know someone that knows how to tune the car for the constantly changing track conditions the car would be much easier to drive. Good man Davy.
Absolutely love this. I'm not a big drift person, but you guys are such a big inspiration. The way you do things, the quality of content you make, the attitude, the enthusiasm, it's amazing. 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.
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!
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❤❤
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!
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 🤙
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!!!
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.
hell yea - I started rally crossing 2 years ago - went from DFL to mid pack - I dont have natural talent but like you I can apply and learn anything. makes me wanna keep my series going next year as I try to hit a podium in a 2wd with a RW- aint nothing like doing it the hard way
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!!
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 😂
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!
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.
There is no doubt that you will achieve your dreams as a driver. More seat time, less distraction, as you said, you will get there. Can't wait to see the new clubhouse rise!
I just want to see the progression, it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride and I’m glad you are going to be doing what you want to do and dreamed of doing for years, bring it on
I cannot imagine a live stream without Dave. That was not just commenting and keeping us entertained. Dave's comments were my source of knowledge, tips, know-how, fun facts, you name it. Don't get me wrong, I love Ian as well, but the live streams will just lack Dave's insight into everything behind the track and cars. I literally watch every second, even when they clean the track, so I do not miss anything (for example, when Dave screamed: "Don't run over that taillight...that's a 1000 euro headlight." 😆 I pulled the trigger with the mystery bag, you never know 😁 Can't wait to see you, Dave, at DMEC next year 🔥
I love to hear you calling drift events. But I love even more to see you chase your dreams! I believe in you, and I know you can be successful. Apply everything that has prepared you for these moments! Good luck!
I was at Lz worldtour Montreal this years and you are a beast a commentary and entertaining the crowd live at the event, i will miss you ! But good luck with the drifting and i will follow that for sure !
I could not click the like button hard enough. What a very real and inspiring video. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and I am excited to see your progress
Thanks for the update of everything i cant wait for the journey of the new studio, ive been to 4 events in mondello started going last year and watching all of you guys cant wait to see you on the track more and hopefully winning some event soon you know you can do it just try hope you have a good time, cheers
Much love from the USA! Can't wait to see the new shenanigans the crew gets up to in the new HQ. Get out there and prove you got it Dave, not just for the fans but for yourself!
Dave with the pure love and passion you have for anything to do with cars and drifting, you can and will succeed at whatever it is you put your mind and heart into, we the fans will follow you and have full faith in you brother, go drift the shit out that supra!!! Lets go drift games
Super stoked for the future of drift games and you’re going to kill it as a driver Dave! Also I needed that pep talk at the end mate, been down and feeling like a failure as the past few years my life and careers turned to shit, been wanting to get up and try something new but idk hearing you at the end there gave me a bit of pep in my step! Keep it up you bunch of gangsters 🙌🏽
I can't wait to see where this team goes! Drift games has relight my interest in all those 90s shitboxs I dreamed of having. Being a new viewer, it's awesome to see such genuine appreciation and kindness in sharing your deep knowledge of irish drifting and jdm stuff. It's blown my mind.
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 💙
I can’t wait for the new shop video see what u guys been cooking up behind the scenes and the renovating videos and I think u have the potential to be a pro driver!
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! 🤟
I'm most excited about seeing you work on your drifting. As someone who competes in slot car racing, what I can tell you from my experience is that there's no thrill quite like chasing your first win - every little improvement is something worthy of celebration. And eventually, you'll get lucky, you'll get that win almost gifted to you. It'll feel great at the time. But then, if you're like me, you'll go through a drought, you'll struggle to see how you can do things different, how you can taste victory again. And then, when you've almost given up, it'll happen again. Then again. Then again. And something will click: the reason you struggled so much to replicate that first success, is you put a lot of pressure on yourself, and crushed yourself under the weight of your own expectations. It became work, instead of fun. Don't crush yourself under your own expectations - just go out there, and have fun. When you're having fun, when you're not putting pressure on yourself, you're able to perform at your best - because you're loose, you're relaxed, you're living in the moment. And that's when you're in the zone, when everything is happening in slow motion, when nothing else matters but the moment you're in, and the turn ahead, or the car beside you. Chase the zone, not the success.
You and the team put the best content out on TH-cam, fact. I genuinely find you and the team inspiring. Your enthusiasm and drive to do better is genuinely amazing to watch. Cannot wait to see you drive drift masters and like everything I’m sure you’ll put your all into it 🙌 We can’t wait to see more and more and roll on 2025 😎
I'm really going to miss your commentary in DM, but at the same time, I really want to see you succeed behind the wheel, as you sometimes say in Drift Masters, high risk = high reward. Greetings from Spain, keep up the good work!
Dave you and the drift games crew are a massive inspiration. I may be relatively new to the channel, but keep kicking ass, having fun and the rest will follow. Much love to you all. Excited to see what the next adventure will be.
@driftgames_life thank you. I have been following atleast all of 2024, perhaps longer. But love the personalities and the fun yall bring. Keep on doing what you do.
Man I remember hanging out at bdc with Dave when he competed in his AE86. Watching you grow as a man and getting to where you are now, it's an inspiration! Keep it up Dave and all of Drift Games. You've got this! ❤
Thanks for being such awesome commentator. Your nonbiased talking was so enjoyable, some commentators try to feed too much of their own opinions and i hate that. Thank you.
Drift games shows how the car community can be, it's like a Cinderella story that keeps on going. Love the content and the laughs. Roll on Drift games Clubhouse 💪
Let’s do this!!! Dave you have got this and you have the starting of the raw skill watching all lives. Bro all it is time you have this. So excited for you and the team
Great catch up dave thank you for that and really excited to see you get better or fail trying but either way I'll still be watching and supporting you all 👍 really good idea with the build videos for the club house I can see that being a lot of fun and a good watch can't wait for that 👌 keep pushing lads your doing a fantastic job 👊 all the love Drew
I'm excited for Drift master 2025 to see the driver lineup, I also immediately bought a bag when you mentioned it in the video. Given I live in the states the bag is going to make a journey to get here lol. Can't wait for off season content and watching the new spot be built.
best of luck man, yes you guys have had a hard year, but also a great year, heads high lads you're all amazing inspirational people keep doing what ur doing!
im looking forward to the new HQ build vlogs. The funny, the successful, the difficult aspects of it. The planning and the final state and which new ideas you come up with :)
I dont have any things i Wish to see on the Channel, the best thing is that you always surprises us with new funny and some stupid ideas and yes i talk partly of the nascar build, love it! All your videos have made me look so much more into the sport drifting! So much that i have been working and Saving money to build my first ever drift car soon, its not the best,most expensive but it Will do the work And the motivation speak about your career as commentator and want to become a driver hits right in the heart! I hope i Will be able to travel to Watch one round of the best drift series in the world Keep up the good work and NEVER GIVE UP!
Love everything you guys are doing so much, I look forward to each video as they come along as the saying goes “keep her hit boys” and roll on the coming months and years 💪🏻💪🏻😊😊
You guys got this, without a shaddow of a doubt! Dave, it's absolutely your time now to take to the wheel. I believe you have it in you and you also have the support network to guide you along the way to live that dream. Cannot wait to see what's to come next for Drift Games 😎
We all have to start somewhere, and the way you get anywhere is to take the plung, you will never know if you never go so you do you and us as fans will be there supporting you.
Absolute respect to you all. From ashes to success, regardless on how hard it gets you keep on. I know it’s not the same thing but this has inspired me to not give up on my dreams (one day dream to own a Ballet school and pole studio / Lyra). Not been afraid to take the harder path shows enormous strength and definitely going to be watching right through it all ☺️
Im so exited for 2025, cant wait to see dave painting the doors of pro drivers with the suprajet. As for the build of the new hq 100% id love to see the process! Thanks for being one of the most inspiring stories of 2024 and thanks again for the great videos and all the hard work thats gone into this. It means alot to us fans.
Definitely going to miss you announcing but can't wait to see what happens in the future for you and drift games in general, full support here! I'm in a similar position and decided that I want to try and get a license for Formula Drift in the next 5 years, maybe not compete but be able to be at the level that I could if I had the money to, I Hope everything goes well! Seat time, seat time, seat time
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 👊
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 🤞🏻🚗💨
Keep chasing your dreams Dave and I can’t wait for the drift games HQ

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!
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
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.
❤️ it will all come good in time
Egan & Falvey DMEC 2025. It needs to be! So excited to see what happens in 2025!
Man Ryusei is a good dude, gotta run all 3 cars!
I also hope they keep Ryusei 🏁🤙🏻
ryusei is good just learning it would be such a shame to throw him out
There is no doubt that you will achieve your dreams as a driver. More seat time, less distraction, as you said, you will get there. Can't wait to see the new clubhouse rise!
I applaud you're honesty tbh it's refreshing to see and hear let's see how far you can chase you're dreams
I just want to see the progression, it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride and I’m glad you are going to be doing what you want to do and dreamed of doing for years, bring it on
Very excited for the upcoming projects. Looking forward to seeing all the builds. You guts inspire me to improve and move forward to achieve my goals
I cannot imagine a live stream without Dave. That was not just commenting and keeping us entertained. Dave's comments were my source of knowledge, tips, know-how, fun facts, you name it. Don't get me wrong, I love Ian as well, but the live streams will just lack Dave's insight into everything behind the track and cars. I literally watch every second, even when they clean the track, so I do not miss anything (for example, when Dave screamed: "Don't run over that taillight...that's a 1000 euro headlight." 😆
I pulled the trigger with the mystery bag, you never know 😁
Can't wait to see you, Dave, at DMEC next year 🔥
I love to hear you calling drift events. But I love even more to see you chase your dreams! I believe in you, and I know you can be successful. Apply everything that has prepared you for these moments! Good luck!
Got my mystery bag today and Im thrilled with it. Couldnt have chosen better gear. I love what ye do and always look forward to more. Well done lads
I was at Lz worldtour Montreal this years and you are a beast a commentary and entertaining the crowd live at the event, i will miss you ! But good luck with the drifting and i will follow that for sure !
Dave I enjoyed watching you drift that crazy supra at LZ world tour and you were 🔥.. All the best mate.
Love this channel, keep the progress going, gonna miss you in Drftmasters but cant wait to see you competing there one day!!!
I could not click the like button hard enough. What a very real and inspiring video. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and I am excited to see your progress
Very nice state of mind David !!! continue to enjoy your journey as you feel it ! Best Regards from a guy who "judged" you in a red Mustang in 2015
Thanks for the update of everything i cant wait for the journey of the new studio, ive been to 4 events in mondello started going last year and watching all of you guys cant wait to see you on the track more and hopefully winning some event soon you know you can do it just try hope you have a good time, cheers

Much love from the USA! Can't wait to see the new shenanigans the crew gets up to in the new HQ. Get out there and prove you got it Dave, not just for the fans but for yourself!
Dave with the pure love and passion you have for anything to do with cars and drifting, you can and will succeed at whatever it is you put your mind and heart into, we the fans will follow you and have full faith in you brother, go drift the shit out that supra!!! Lets go drift games
Super stoked for the future of drift games and you’re going to kill it as a driver Dave! Also I needed that pep talk at the end mate, been down and feeling like a failure as the past few years my life and careers turned to shit, been wanting to get up and try something new but idk hearing you at the end there gave me a bit of pep in my step! Keep it up you bunch of gangsters 🙌🏽
I can't wait to see where this team goes! Drift games has relight my interest in all those 90s shitboxs I dreamed of having. Being a new viewer, it's awesome to see such genuine appreciation and kindness in sharing your deep knowledge of irish drifting and jdm stuff. It's blown my mind.
I very much appreciate the honesty and transparency. It's so refreshing.
Good on you, I often wonder this same thing. I'll be watching intently and rooting for you!
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 💙
I can’t wait for the new shop video see what u guys been cooking up behind the scenes and the renovating videos and I think u have the potential to be a pro driver!
You've got more than enough talent to pull it off Dave, you just need the seat time and our support and you can do anything! Much love from Canada!!!
I'm so happy to hear you guys got a building!! YOU'RE an inspiration for putting yourself out there and giving it your all! You got this, man!
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! 🤟
Looking forward to the next few months for sure. Lads you have done amazing things and you keep getting better and better
I'm most excited about seeing you work on your drifting. As someone who competes in slot car racing, what I can tell you from my experience is that there's no thrill quite like chasing your first win - every little improvement is something worthy of celebration. And eventually, you'll get lucky, you'll get that win almost gifted to you. It'll feel great at the time. But then, if you're like me, you'll go through a drought, you'll struggle to see how you can do things different, how you can taste victory again. And then, when you've almost given up, it'll happen again. Then again. Then again. And something will click: the reason you struggled so much to replicate that first success, is you put a lot of pressure on yourself, and crushed yourself under the weight of your own expectations. It became work, instead of fun. Don't crush yourself under your own expectations - just go out there, and have fun. When you're having fun, when you're not putting pressure on yourself, you're able to perform at your best - because you're loose, you're relaxed, you're living in the moment. And that's when you're in the zone, when everything is happening in slow motion, when nothing else matters but the moment you're in, and the turn ahead, or the car beside you. Chase the zone, not the success.
I knew it! right that moment when I saw the post in Facebook about your career in drift masters ending! so happy for this, looking forward for it!
Way to go Dave! Honestly Drift Games has become my favourite YT channel! Keep it up cant wait to see whats in store! ❤
You got this Dave! Looking forward to seeing all the new stuff develop as you head down this new road
You and the team put the best content out on TH-cam, fact.
I genuinely find you and the team inspiring. Your enthusiasm and drive to do better is genuinely amazing to watch.
Cannot wait to see you drive drift masters and like everything I’m sure you’ll put your all into it 🙌
We can’t wait to see more and more and roll on 2025 😎
I'm really going to miss your commentary in DM, but at the same time, I really want to see you succeed behind the wheel, as you sometimes say in Drift Masters, high risk = high reward. Greetings from Spain, keep up the good work!
I love this video. Thank you for opening up and sharing. It's inspiring!
Dave you and the drift games crew are a massive inspiration. I may be relatively new to the channel, but keep kicking ass, having fun and the rest will follow. Much love to you all. Excited to see what the next adventure will be.

Man I remember hanging out at bdc with Dave when he competed in his AE86. Watching you grow as a man and getting to where you are now, it's an inspiration! Keep it up Dave and all of Drift Games. You've got this! ❤
Thanks for being such awesome commentator. Your nonbiased talking was so enjoyable, some commentators try to feed too much of their own opinions and i hate that. Thank you.
Drift games shows how the car community can be, it's like a Cinderella story that keeps on going. Love the content and the laughs. Roll on Drift games Clubhouse 💪
Much appreciated!
Good luck!! Hope it works out for you & I’ll be watching to see how you go. 🥳

I'm excited for Drift master 2025 to see the driver lineup, I also immediately bought a bag when you mentioned it in the video. Given I live in the states the bag is going to make a journey to get here lol. Can't wait for off season content and watching the new spot be built.

Love everything you guys are doing so much, I look forward to each video as they come along as the saying goes “keep her hit boys” and roll on the coming months and years 💪🏻💪🏻😊😊
You guys got this, without a shaddow of a doubt! Dave, it's absolutely your time now to take to the wheel. I believe you have it in you and you also have the support network to guide you along the way to live that dream. Cannot wait to see what's to come next for Drift Games 😎
We all have to start somewhere, and the way you get anywhere is to take the plung, you will never know if you never go so you do you and us as fans will be there supporting you.
I'll miss you on commentary but am excited to see what is to come.
That's a man of courage right there. That's a man everybody wishes to be more like. Respect and good luck chasing your dream Dave.
Absolute respect to you all.
From ashes to success, regardless on how hard it gets you keep on.
I know it’s not the same thing but this has inspired me to not give up on my dreams (one day dream to own a Ballet school and pole studio / Lyra).
Not been afraid to take the harder path shows enormous strength and definitely going to be watching right through it all ☺️
Appreciate that ❤️
Huge repest for you and your team. Can't wait to see what is coming
Im so exited for 2025, cant wait to see dave painting the doors of pro drivers with the suprajet. As for the build of the new hq 100% id love to see the process! Thanks for being one of the most inspiring stories of 2024 and thanks again for the great videos and all the hard work thats gone into this. It means alot to us fans.
Great stuff boys! Amazing to see the bounce back and the different types of videos going forward with the warehouse build!
LFG so pumped to see where all of this goes.
Definitely going to miss you announcing but can't wait to see what happens in the future for you and drift games in general, full support here!
I'm in a similar position and decided that I want to try and get a license for Formula Drift in the next 5 years, maybe not compete but be able to be at the level that I could if I had the money to, I Hope everything goes well! Seat time, seat time, seat time
Best of luck with it dude!
