SEMA DRAMA

Our first day of SEMA was rather chill – walked around, talked to some people, checked out some rad cars. Hung out with some friends, talked about race cars… YA KNOW. http://LZMFG.com

  1. I know I'm 3 years late, but Aaron didn't say anything offensive. He said the same thing that people are saying now about ESports. You can no longer get on a team for game like LoL or Apex or CSGO or whatever because the guys who are at the top level spend every hour of every day playing and getting better and they don't have financial responsibilities to worry about. Everything is paid for, so they can focus entirely on improving their game. You get to Diamond in Apex and want to make Predator? Too bad, because you're only playing against people who have nothing else to worry about except playing Apex every day, so the skill curve is too steep to ever actually progress.

    I compete in strongman, and I know that I will never be able to compete at a national level because I can't dedicate every waking moment of my life to the sport. Guys like Bobby Thompson who have recently gone from amateur to pro strongman have literally nothing else to worry about except lifting and dieting and getting stronger. So the skill curve between like, the top 100 strongmen and the rest of us is so steep that nobody ever really enters that top 100.

    These guys don't have to worry about replacing fenders or fixing subframe damage or anything. They can spend all of their time just getting better at drifting, and it makes it impossible for anyone to catch up to them unless they can match that commitment. "Oh but Adam went from grassroots to pro." Adam also made money drifting for the first 3 years. His content was drifting, which made him money, which allowed him to drift. When Aaron talks about grassroots people he means people with jobs and families. Guys who can drift every few months, not every weekend all over the country like Adam could.

  2. I think it's so crazy if you go back and watch adam's sema videos one year ago you asked him at his s15 reveal if he knows what he's getting himself into or if he even knows how to drive rhd and he said nope, and 2 years ago you had the argument with kristaps bluss about FD and Adam didn't even follow fd yet.. I think that's just insane to think about

  3. there is an issue in FD with teams having ridiculous budgets but HGK is not one of them. you can't compare them to teams that can afford to run 2019 and 2018 models of cars and be at the podium. We're talking about e92 that came out 13 years ago.

  4. I know I'm a month late and everyone's probably already bagged on Adam for this but at 4:25 that's most definitely a Lamborghini and not a Ferrari.

  5. C'mon Formula D. Start setting some regulations. It's getting so stupid. I myself kinda fell off watching FD once Diago broke the 850 wheel horse threshold. Screw these stupid fatboy's and there bags and bags of cash. Grassroots Stock level Forever!

  6. That billetworkz Subaru is legit. The company I work for use to anodize some parts for him a little while back. The guy that owns it has a company making some pretty sweet shiftknobs

  7. Yes, the big budget big money backed teams could be considered to have a negative affect on FD as a whole, but then again if we look at drifting as a sport and its progression there comes a time where progress has a cost. Literally, engineering isn't a charity occupation. Sure HGK's car is stupidly good, I don't like saying overpowered because then you just sound like a whiny 12 year old complaining about a COD update, but the car is pushing the envelope of what drifting is. Drifting is being taken more and more seriously as an actual motorsport, and with that comes teams backed by huge amounts of money. From the grassroots perspective, we're losing the street drifter turned pro driver relationship. From a motorsports perspective this is all normal, what needs to happen is the sanctioning body (Formula Drift) has to put in place rules to prevent the super rich teams from having an unfair advantage. Don't blame the builder or driver, blame the race regulators/regulations.

  8. That filter box is to bring cold air to the starter scilinoid so the car can stay running once the turbo kicks in because the engine will blow because there is to much air going into the catilax converter

  9. I love how Aaron got put on the spot there. He might have a point, but he can't generalise it. He sounded like a straight up asshole there.

    Shame you ignored that BMW E28 in the background on the same stand though. It has a rich history.

  10. This is why there needs to be different classes of drifting, to restrict people from building crazy 1000hp cars and running them in pro am. I reckon yeah FD should be like the old rally cars where you can build whatever you want and make it as crazy as you want but other levels of drifting should be limited and I don’t mean in a way that ruins the appeal of the cars but in a away that keeps everyone on the same level and a fair playing field so it comes down to the driver and not the car
