Congratulations Adam, excited to see you rip next year 🙌
Love seeing the top level drifting dudes showing love, respect!
that's mean a lot from you ;)
come back to FD man! Missing watching you!
The 🐐 james deane !
@@bvp794 FD too easy for deane
Shows how Humble Vaughn is when outside looking at his building and says "this is ours" instead of "Mine"
Yea it caught my attention when he said that it's pretty cool
True to it
@@leakypipe1299 I'll probably never get to meet him but he really seems like a nice guy
@@erikja123 🤨
@@erikja123 he bought a large compound so he could have an area to drift
Vaughn is such a genuine person, all the "we, ours, and my teams" that he throws out shows how much he cares about his people.
And when he said that He hated that people were hating on Adam
Christian Von Koenigsegg is another automotive figure like Vaughn the only difference between them is Christian passion is for road legal hypercars, Vaughn is into Motorsports specifically drifting.
Beyond proud of you babe! Excited for this next journey ❤️🧡💛🏁
Adam with RTR and you partnering with Microsoft/Adobe to make that commercial (which was 🔥🔥🔥)... What an exciting time for both of you guys! So happy for both of you!
😀
Amazing opportunity for Adam, but can't wait to see you competing in the C6 Ms. Davis!!
Thanks babe:)
whens he guna throw a ring on that finger ???
Such a smart move on both parties, Vaughn hit the nail on the head with saying now Adam can just focus on driving, Adam gets a great team and support, and is now setup for success. RTR gets Adam's fanbase which is huge. I'm not a huge FD fan, but have watched Vaughn over the years. I'm definitely keeping up with Adam's progress and season.
i feel like thats what adam needed this year past season especially. to just focus on driving.
Yes!!
Make no mistake… this is a mutually smart move on both parts. Bringing Adam’s fan base to the RTR team is HUGE for RTR.
I agree this is beneficial to both of them, they both bring value to each other
Agree, Gittin have seen the power of the tube and social media by hanging out with LZ, Cleeter and the other young guns... and LZ need some spare time and base line for winning
Yes ford needed more online presence losing Ken and hoonigan boys
@@1greaf I just meant more eyes to FD and the RTR brand, but you raise a good point. I didn’t think about that.
Right? they didnt just hire Adam, they got the legion of LZ fans to go with him. Huge move
Vaughan is such a great guy I remember back when he was breaking out and really giving it to the Japanese drivers couldn't have a better mentor.
Couldn't imagine anyone hating on Adam either such a likeable dude.
you should check the fd stream chat when adam it's on... so much hate for no reason
@@SPProduction02 obviously they must be talentless and jealous then.
@@SPProduction02 I haven't really seen hate on him, but I don't check the live chat too often. I've only seen some LZ fans saying the sport is rigged or that the judges made a bs call, because LZ lost a battle
@@cyclone2979 that's the other half of the chat
@@SPProduction02 Ok I was just saying what I know. I am not calling anyone a liar, again I'm just saying what I personally know
Vaughn is so incredibly humble, generous, leveled and inspirational.... one in a million type of guy, keep it up man!
Vaughn is such a nice guy, the words he said are so deep
Congrats Adam. Been a long time coming!
As always Matt with the respect 🤘 miss seeing ya on the channel. But always check out your vids.
Really missed you man on this channel
Love ya dude
no more eargasm from the s15 so i gonna unsubscribe
Can’t wait for this FD season. Gonna be weird seeing Adam in a non jdm car. Can’t wait to see how this season goes for the rtr team.
Sad we won't be seeing Vaughn drive tho
*starts car*
*Entire shop begins shaking*
"It's much quieter than I expected!"
Every time I see Vaughn I become an even bigger fan of him. He’s such a team player that wants everyone to succeed. Huge congrats to LZ for partnering with RTR!
Exactly, that’s a smart man right there and we all should take a page from his book and strive to be better.
For real! So excited for Adam and the RTR family. Hell yeah!
Wait until they drive a real car... the mighty Vic.
For real, Iv “known of him” for a couple years but once you see him more behind the scenes w Adam it’s cool to see how genuine and supportive he is.
same here, i never cared for Pro drift till Adam joined in, the more time Adam spent with Vaughn the more i took notice how legit of a dude he is. kinda expected the "IM Famous Witness me" but nah hes just a chill dude that enjoys all the same things anyone else does
Huge shout out to the guys that kept the S15 running and competing, because every step to this point was such an important step.
Fr that shows how hard they had to be working every week
Back when Chelsea was in the videos quite often I thought to myself then, how cool would it be for Adam to progress to rtr at some point in his life.....Mind blown that we the fanbase were right with this one. Even Reddit blew up about all of the Tinfoil speculation! Best reveal of 2021 by far. Congrats to Adam and his team for this once in a lifetime experience! Can't wait to see you shedding with your friends and soon to be family! Vaughn thank you sir for the inspiration you said about Adam in this video, I've always loved how you are a genuine person both on the track and off the track. You are something special too, oh and Chelsea much love here too!
Absolutely dude, what an awesome experience to be teammates with the guy that sparked all of this for Adam, and being part of Vaughns team. I've also wanted Adam to drift a S550 mustang for a long time, what better S550 to drift than an RTR S550 alongside Chelsea. I can't wait to see future events.
I have always loved the rtr team, from how organized they are to their aggressive driving style throwing around those big cars like they’re an extension of their body I can’t wait to see where joining this team takes Adam
Vaughn still has his old S13 drift car. A really cool side project would be to get it back to its former condition over at the LZMFG/Drift HQ facility and see Vaughn in his first drift car one more time.
And Adam in the cream s13 tandeming that would be sick
That would be so sick
That I’d love to see, excellent suggestion that man 👆
THE TINFOIL HAT PEOPLE WERE RIGHT
Even a stopped clock... and all that 😂
We’re always right
They’re always right.
Let’s go Brandon.
Duhh
Lol yeah..
I'm so stoked for you man!!! Watching you, Colette, your team, over the last year has been incredibly inspiring. Hard work, dedication, and just being such an amazing human being always pays off brother. Here's to 2022 and all the amazing times we're all going to experience with you guys. CONGRATULATIONS LZ!!!!!!!!!
This is awesome. Seeing 2 of my favorite drivers drifting and working together. I remembering following Vaughn since 2003 after the Fakken drift showoff and still have the Option DVD from Japan vs US Ha. Congrats and good luck!
Couldn’t be happier for Adam. This is gonna help him progress as a driver so much. Great move by Vaughn too because this will bring so much more attention to the RTR brand.
big moves indeed! and good strategy
Good thing about rtr is how big the crew is, adam will not have to worry about car issues and focus on driving, could easily see next year be a big year for Adam.
He’s for sure getting podiums this next year!
Not just that, but years of setup knowledge on all the tracks.
@@wobblysauce in terms of driving, this is actually huge
Well done Adam ! You deserve it, now its time too prove everybody wrong and smash it next season! Been watching your videos for a longgg time! I found your channel watching all your track day videos when you was just starting to learn to drift ! Incredible work !
Congratulations! I did have a feeling this was going to happen. Looking forward to seeing the future unfold for you and the RTR team.
12:30 listen to this man and remember that sentiment. This is a true enthusiast and this is how you should treat others EVEN when you’re in competition. It’s called sportsmanship and that’s a solid dude and a true legend! If you don’t want to see your sport grow and support it 100% then why even bother.
Couldn’t have said it better !
It is so easy to put people down... but to help them succeed is a great feeling.
@@wobblysauce I agree man, we live in an age where people think it’s okay to try and tear other people down because of their success. It’s jealousy and it’s small brain behavior.
Seeing Chelsea unlock his power after joining RTR makes me excited for your future
chelsea was already on another level way before he joined RTR. Not saying Adam won't get there but Chelsea already had crazy skill before hand
@@transient442 I’m convinced Chelsea was born with a steering wheel in his hand lol
This is literally the most exicting thing i have ever seen, HUGE mustang/RTR fan and I can not wait to see what Adam does with it!!!
Honestly RTR does the most all the way around for the actual drifters and builders to teach, give tips and support the drifter community!!! Thank you for all you guys do truly! 🙏
The fact that this has come to fruition can only mean Adams' 2022 season is going to be groundbreaking for his Career. I can't believe after only 2 season in pro 1 that he has teamed up with the guys at RTR. Huge respect, and huge props, Adam. Keep it up, bro.
The only thing. ONLY thing I worry about, is growing pains. This is from a huge LZ fan. He’s gonna have high, super high expectations for himself and FROM fans. Yes he’s getting in arguably one of the best cars in FD. I just hope he can handle the pressure and use it to become a top tier driver
All the hard work and pure passion for the sport has finally paid off
@@dennislilley3190 Vaughan even said it, a year or 2 before he can podium. Realistic goal. They are gonna work on his driving the upcoming season. Thats what adam needs, literally more seat time
Especially in a brand new car. Completely new setup
Who would of thought that the kid that’d mess around with a cream S13 all the time is now driving the highest level of formula drift for the biggest and most experienced team. Absolutely crazy!
formula drift is not the highest level but yea
@@exensLes Formula Drift is the highest level drifting completion series in the US
Very awesome for you Adam LZ! Congrats to you and all your success! Best of luck next year! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations!!!! LFG!!!! Knew it forever glad you could announce it finally!!!
RTR made the most sense for Adam, glad it turned to be RTR. The main curveball that threw me off was the 2 A90 supras
That’s for drift hq drift rental.
Would be cool to see a 1gz swap done with one of them. Not as crazy as Turks v10 tho
legit thought he will send one off to HGK 😁
@@Kuxy17 2ur would be better.
The a90s were never a option he wouldn’t have them built in time
Vuaghn is such a rad guy, definitely can tell he has the entrepreneur mindset
I was your 10th like...just saying.
He’s the best person. Just a fun haver at heart and wants to help people succeed and enjoy life.
Congrats man!! Been watching since the BMX days. So cool to see how far you’ve come. Great job man!!
Congratulations Adam, you are joining such a great team, I can not wait to see your 2022 drifting career! You deserve this!
"Cool. Go do another burnout."
"Bet."
Yep, LZ found his people. 😂
That part of the video was amazing lol
This is some incredible news. So unbearably happy for Adam.
What a guy.
What a team.
What an incredible opportunity.
What an incredible future ahead of him.
Kick the tyres, light the fires 🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations LZ. You deserve all the good you can get and I’m glad you were able to get with Vaughn and Chelsea. I look forward to seeing what you do next year.
This is such an amazing thing for you!. Chelsea always being the drift mentor and friend and Vaughn bringing you this chance. Congrats!!!!
“When you hear the limiter you can also get off it” words of wisdom right there Adam!
Need a mug or piece of wall art with this 😂
I literally lol'd at that comment lmao!
I prefer the ol Cleeter approach of "keep ripping til she's dripping"... jk
So excited for this! Congrats Adam! Vaughn and Chelsea are true role models!
Thanks for ruining the video
@@elistory306 why are you reading comments before watching the video?
@@DaeveMc ikr lmao I never read comments before I see the big announcements in any vid lol
@@sbsimracing7275 n not only that, the official announcement is 1 minute into the video. Not likes it’s 5 10 15 min in lol
how to sneak into edc😈
czcams.com/video/OjzZr9XqtbI/video.html
You are truly an inspiration brother man. My buddy used to tell me that Vaughn used to drift in my back yard at the Walton park pool and ever since then he's been an idol. You're living my biggest fantasy and I hope I can get to your level. Proud of you!
That’s so badass dude. You’re work ethic and constantly being able to level up is super motivational. Happy for you!
Perfect partnership, Adam brings the fanbase, but still gets to do his own thing. RTR get a half decent driver that will definately progress and be a top driver. Couldn’t of worked out better💪🏻
and get so much attention for sponsors
This is such a move ! We shoulda known when Vaughan was getting real pissed at the judges over Adam's last lead run
He’s just overall a rad guy . Been following him for years i can say he’s just such a sporting person be it to Adam or not
After watching Vaughn for over a decade this is so cool to see, I can't imagine how excited you must be. You deserve it man, congratulations.
Congratulations man I’ve been watching your channel for years this is a huge step for you I remember you doing small time drift comp in the 240 you’ve come so far bro I’m so happy for you this is huge I can’t wait to see what you do next man thanks for all that you do
ADAM AND CHELSEA! I’m so stoked my two favourite drivers are teamed up!! Go RTR!
This^!
Absolutely. Gonna be sick to see
Next up is T-ray in prospec, driving a prospec ЯTR Mustang build... expanding the team in to managing talent for real, growing drift as a sport even further.
vaughn is just such a geniuenly nice dude... love him and so stoked to see you on the team!
This will also help you perform better in FD cause the car is looked after and set up by a pro team with years of experience. Cant wait to see the next season and the content you'll be able to produce within and outside of the program!
Now make the S15 into a time attack monster!
Adam, Words cannot describe how glad I am for you!! You’ve come a very long way and you deserve this 100%. KEEP IT UP!!!!
Wow congrats man it’s crazy to see the journey you’ve brought us on. I’ve been watching your videos since the Tire belts
Out of all the possibilities I thought of, this was the most likely, and I'm stoked to see you joining your friends and teaming up rather than flying solo.
This whole video is Wholesome AF
Congrats all round guys, this is an absolute WIN for everyone
Awesome news! So excited for you and Vaughn and the whole RTR team!! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Congratulations! I am so happy for you Adam, you deserve this.
I was a Vaughn fan way before I was an LZ fan and man, this combo is killer. And also it shows what a cool perspective he has about rookie drivers, and how understanding he is in regards to chasing that podium
Next season is going to be sick having a teammate and a team like that will elevate your driving so much. Can't wait.
I am absolutely proud of you Adam! Getting with Vaughn and him backing you is such an amazing experience. GOALS! Always have been a HUGE fan of Vaughn!
Lot of us saw this coming by about 3/4 of the way thru the season......Congrats Adam!
Papa Tom and now, Daddy Vaughn & Older Brother Chelsea, all good influences on you and you're growth in this industry. Props to you're Mom & Pops though for providing them with the solid foundation to build on!
I had told my gf, after you said that you weren't going to be running the s15, that I hope RTR will run a two driver and car team and your be the second driver. You can see the respect that Vaughn and Chelsea have for you and the chemistry you guys have on the track it just works perfect. This is beyond awesome. Next years FD will be insane.
Vaughn is such a genuine guy! Your lucky to have him as part of your life and to call him a friend! This makes me so happy!
I became a fan 2-4 years ago, and being a kid from CT makes me realize I can do this too. Keep working dawg 🤟🏻 motivation at its peak
Congrats Adam, sending the best from CT
I honestly had chills watching this. I can’t imagine what it feels like to see so much hard work pay off so big. I didn’t see this coming. Honestly was thrown off when you were selling the rig because you didn’t need it next year. This is amazing congrats
Him selling the rig is what gave it away completely for me. I had a feeling it was gonna happen but that just pushed me to believe it that much more.
So... Totally saw this coming lmao
Either way, cant wait to see what next season will bring!
Yep
congrats adam! Love team RTR and Von, i think your going to fit in there nicely. So stoked to see you drive for this team next season.
I've been a big fan of Vaughn since he started. For me, he's the dude that made mustangs feel cool for me again.
For him to take Adam, one of my fav CZcamsrs under his wing... man!
I'm super proud of you Adam. I know you don't know me for spit but man I feel like one of my homies made it out the hood! Congrats Adam!
32:21 when your Boss says that, you know you are at the right place. So excited for you Adam, congratulations.
I already knew RTR was a top level team, but seeing the infrastructure of it just makes me realise how absolutely crazy it actually is. Man, Adam going into The Year of the Rockstar! 🤘🏻🔥
You mean year of the monster
Congrats man!! Super happy for you! Just one set closer to making your dreams a reality!
Congratulations Adam!!! You deserve everything your getting in life.
I gotta say, he’s so right about the passion, dedication and resoluteness you have. I’ve been watching and subscribed since June of 2014 and haven’t missed a video. I watched you work so hard over the years especially in the beginning of things and it’s mind boggling to see how far you have come. You deserve it man! Thank you for the great content and taking me and everyone else along for the ride. Happy skidding brotha 🤘🏻
This is great. Adam gets a cheaper fed season with a better experience and Vaughn and his investors/sponsors get a lot more advertising so win win
always love seeing vaughn and chelsea, they just seem like really cool genuine guys. congrats adam. this is big
I haven't smiled so much much watching a video in a long time. This will be amazing. Congrats!!
That part where Vaughn tells Adam “Okay, now go do a burnout” feels like a situation you’d see at the beginning of a racing game.
Surreal is definitely the word for it.
It’ll be interesting to see how Adam deals with not being the top dog in this new and slightly more “corporate” environment.
Definitely! Nostalgic NFS Shift 2 vibes for sure!!!
I was thinking the same 🤣
For real!
What’s up with all these bots that comments about the videos? I never seen a bot that said specific things about a video this one I saw the name was Janet: Have fun with my tts and it said “This was a smart move for RTR and Adam...”
Are those bots getting mad smart now or are those just the 14 year old Thailand kids?
timestamp of him saying that.??
I so fricken excited can't even image how Adam feels. Congrats to Lz and the RTR team. This is going to be awesome.
I dont think i stopped smiling through the whole video! Genuine passion and excitement is so awesome to see.
Congratulations Adam! Very happy for you.
This is going to level Adam up insanely fast. It's going to be absolutely nuts.
I knew it all along! Congrats Man! What a great team to be a part of!
Once I heard Vaughan was taking a break from FD I just knew Adam was gonna join rtr
I am pumped for you, the RTR guys are awesome 👌. I can't even imagine how much fun you are going to have. Congrats!
Awesome news mate and a great big congrats, super stoked for you and the upcoming adventure with rtr 🤟✊
Vaughn is such a nice person! dont let him down, you can see how happy he is about all this!
This is the absolute dream! For you, for RTR, for content and by that for us!
This is an empire of smokin tires!
Very very well done Adam!
Close your eyes, breathe in... and out.
You made it, you're there, for real!
Legit made me happy with a small tear of joy...
Hat's fkn off to all of you. 🙌🏻
Congrats man!!! That must be a dream come true. Good luck with everything. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Johan and your current team need to be having free entry plus more… keep them on for private builds. Be good to see Johan vlogging with mini Lz whilst your out there killing it👌🏻
RTR knows how to set a car up properly also. Adam’s team just never seemed like they fully had all the components of their car figured out. He is going to soar once they get his car all dialed! Can’t wait to see it!! 🇺🇸
Not the time to diss anyone my guy. There isn't a single doubt and no one can say that what Adam and his team did these past few seasons has been anything short of a monumental accomplishment. It isn't anyone's fault things with certain chassis's just don't always work out and take many more years to test, develop and perfect. But as he clearly states and everyone knows Adam and his team just don't have the time to do that on there own.
@@Morning_Star696 not sure if he was dissing, think he meant it as there is certain aspects and parts that major race teams can produce versus a couple of guys in a garage. They’ve earned this
@@Morning_Star696 he's not dissing his team, just stating they were a brand new team and just didn't have the experience.
@@Morning_Star696 hes not dissing he was saying that the team was knew and didn't have the experience that the rtr team has
Yeah for Adam's level of competitiveness this will be great. Everything about the S13 era was still really impressive too though. Just different levels and types of approach to it, apples and oranges. Fun to watch the journey.
Adam this is fantastic, Ive been a fan of Vaughn's since 2005 , and in recent years I have followed you and Collette ( she needs to get back in a monster truck btw ) I love your dedication to drifting and now you really have taken that next step! keep your foot in it man I cant wait to see you and Chelsea dominating podiums.
I’m so excited for you. Like seeing you so happy about a new chapter is dope!
Called it! The second Vaughn stated he was stepping back and Adam said he wasn't running the S15 I put 2 and 2 together. And here we have 4.
The Supra’s were a decent plot twist and so was him saying it would be a bmw like driving but nah I knew in irwindale
@@stephenfarquhar3745 facts I almost fell for the Supras aswell. Vaughns video where he talked about stepping back and he had a great driver joining the team combined with Adam's "not running the S15 next season" statement was what gave it away for me. But Irwindale was definitely a signal.
I put the same stuff together you did and ppl said I was wrong and laughed... Good call man you pay attention to detail like I do
When we went to fd this year, I straight up asked Adam, and he said nah, it’s gonna drive like a bmw lmfao. At that moment I knew that he couldn’t tell me, but that it was true
@@stephenfarquhar3745 ah I'd love to go to Fd. None even remotely close to where I am. We do have a decent track a couple hours away though.
If you aren’t hyped for this, you are dead inside! Congrats man, this is great for the sport, RTR, and your channel💪🍻🍻
Happy for you man, i think this is a wise and mature decision to make, it will give you the space to fully concentrate on driving.RTR is a amazing team to be on, i wish you the best of luck with the team and in the next seasons to come.👍
I remember watching Chelsea run his own program for years.. you could tell he could drive he just needed the right car & team backing, and now look at him. I feel this is going to be exactly the same for you.
Congrats to you all.
I drove with him when he had that pink Miata.. ya it's cool to see where he's at now
From the moment I saw the car to the end of the vid I had the widest smile I've ever had because I see Adam as happy as he'll ever be . CONGRATS ADAM
Yes!!!!!! Congratulations brother!!!! This is just a great fit. Take this opportunity and fly!!! Can not wait to watch you succeed!!! Your story is an awesome one brother. Make sure you give thanks!!!
This is probably the best move Adam could have done, Von Is and his team are getting a hell of a driver, and a wonderful addition to the team!
Congratulations to both of you for coming together in realizing you're stronger together. You guys are gonna have some amazing years ahead of you! And I look forward to watching!!!
I’ve said it to Vaughn I’ll say it to you now, much sooner then I said it to him. Been following you for a while. You were in the right place, showing the right skill and tenacity, well done. Hope to congratulate you in a year or so for finishing your first year with rtr in position …….🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
I’m stoked for this. Can’t wait to see you improve even more with such an amazing team!! Hey maybe some off-road racing too haha
