I can't say this enough but Mike is such a pleasure to watch, the man can drive and build cars but his most endearing quality is that he's humble. Love your work Mike!
He let's his character and skill do the talking. He's a lot like a beacon of light - with him around, everyone looks better and everyone can see better.
Mike Essa is the kind of guy you’d be lucky to learn from. Growing up there were a couple guys in my life like him, super knowledgeable, mild mannered and wildly patient and willing to teach. Tim is a lucky dude n will be a big deal when he gets older. Mike was a dope addition to DDE.
Damon has the passion talent and skill set. This is a huge step up for him. Having Mike a top drift champ working with DDE both involved with builds and mentoring. Is quite possibly DDEs best resent choice. Rally and track racing are completely different skills
The people wanted it, DDE delivered. This is the high quality content DDE is known for in spectacular fashion. The shots were epic, fantastic job team!! You just need more seat time Damon, well done my man. I look forward to your racing evolution, it's going to be a wild ride!
This was super refreshing seeing all the vibes between the guys. The driving is great but it's all the banter and fun times that we really miss. This video killllled it
@@gazzarafalemozzy4766if u don't like someone then don't watch the vids. U seem to be more of hater than a fan and u spam comments talking shit so just leave. U don't bring anything other than negative shit so be gone.
@gazzarafalemozzy4766 shut up. I love dave, he gives the dry dad humor that we all know and love. If you rock with dde you can't be hating on buddy dave
Damon an Dave the 2 of you made a very wise business decision by bringing on Mike....and of course can't forget Tim too. The channel is on a different level now for sure. I surely can't be the only one that enjoys how in depth, an informative Mike is when it come to the ins an outs of the technical automotive information he provides for the DDE fans both new and old. It's nice to see that Tim is warming up to the DDE life....the videos the last 3 weeks or so it's apparent that he's breaking out or his shell......
Don’t get me wrong I love watching the build series and learning a lot, but this…..this right here puts fucking goosebumps on me with smile as wide as my face. Im obsessed with these track day videos!
This episode was incredible! Mike killing it as usual and having the legendary Larry Chen join in with his best in the business talent was awesome! Love it guys! 👏🏼👏🏼
I still can't get over Mike is that good of a driver ontop of being as skilled in the shop as he is. Such a good find with him for the DDE Fam and has changed the entire channel up for you guys in a good way...allows for footage and some time off now for you guys since him, Tim and Mark have such a good connection and a solid team
This Channel has gotten so much better ever since Mark, Mike, and Tim joined. No disrespect to Damon and Dave but the racing/track content along with the build series is what this channel was really missing.
Absolutely, adrenaline rushing sick video. You guys are killing it, love everybody the crew, the harmony, the channel is on fire. Damon killed it, hold the Tesla off. That was sick as hell. Thank you guys for all your awesome content. Best content on CZcams period let alone a motive.❤
This was such a cool episode, I know Mike was super happy to be back in his element Damon being super hyped, definitely should work with the camera guy to get some sick shots in future episodes
Loving all the angles, some really nice/exciting shots! But also i think you should leave a 1st person POV out the front window, into the track, for longer periods of time.....Like when you watch in car rally footage, or Isle Of Man insanity. It really captures the speed and skill that way in my opinion.
The video was full of positive energy and pure joy! Seeing everybody smiling and having fun, that`s what transfers to us the fans! Keep up the good work DDE
Skinnys so cool he wears his visor backwards!!! Stoked you guys took the time to enjoy your hard work. This needs to be a bi monthly tjings to keep comraderie up!!! Be safe
I am so proud of, not just the team that DDE has put together, but the talent is on another level, from the builds to track days, to the stories channel, from what I started watching in 2017 to now is night and day. Love ysob's
Well done damon 👏 👍 what an amazing day of racing, and the best thing about the day is learning more everything u go out on track. What a awesome and amazing day...
YOO DAMON!!! YO MIKE!!! ...because of this race my fan rate multiplied by 10🤩🤩 Huge respect to you both. Y'all KILLED IT!!! Im going to support y'all all the way from the Netherlands...and buy some DDE merch!! Keep doing what you doing!! What epic episode!!!!! DAMNNNN!!! im going to Xbox some Forza motorsport now.. im pumped😂😂
Guys , this was one of thè best episodes of recent times! The vibes, the cars , the comraderie, the atmosphere ... This is what cars are all about 🏁❤️ Best automotive channel on youtube ! I'd like to see a shoptour of mike's shop also if that would be possible? Thx alot for giving me an amazing sundaymorning 😊
Watching Skinny’s excitement was awesome. Mike is awesome. I live in Orlando Florida so one of these days when you’re in Florida I’m definitely gonna come train come out and meet you guys. Keep up the great work. God bless you.
This has become the best team ever Mike you're a total beast behind the wheel killing tires like its nothing Skinny YSOB I wish I was you in that seat next to Mike Tim telling Mark the ctr is gonna lose
Track days are always a blast. I had my STO at VIR for a test and tune recently, didn't realize I would be sharing the track with Formula 2 cars and LMP3 experimental cars being driven by professional drivers until the morning-of. I was just out there trying not to die. Fun times. Wore my DDE shirt proudly.

@@ZoiidBurgerwe got that video for ya man. Just a little late to make it live. But we here. Thanks for having your notifications on. 🔔

if there's no ads and full res images and videos how do they make money?
Sometimes I forget Mike is an fd champ and not just a mechanic
😂😂😂 right!!! He is a beast behind the wheel.
Champ a few times
@@DailyDrivenExotics and in the shop!
Not just those either! He’s a designer, fabricator, and great at explaining everything he does. He’s a wealth of knowledge!
That man mike is a beast

Now THIS is content!! Absolutely loved this video! Mike is an animal in the drift car and Damon is getting better and better every time he goes out
How can you not love Mike and Tim big props for the DDE guys getting these guys on the team.
Takes DDE to the next level.
I came to comment exactly this. Two legends added to the team
Also mark let’s not forget Mark
Tim didn't want to go for a ride-along in Mike Essa's drift car?
We need to see Mike's shop tour. Keep it up love you all❤
We can make that happen.
@@DailyDrivenExoticsBut, get the F12 & 720GTR done FIRST!!!
Stop fivking around, boys. Get it Done.
Yeah don’t be throwing it in soon to stretch out the series!! Lol
@@DailyDrivenExoticsyo have to make it happen
I gaurentee the car is 95% done... as Damon Said in the vero advertisement. The videos are sometimes weeks behind real time...

Mike is a badass driver. Respect!

Yes DDE. Thank you for the daily uploads. It's keeping my spirits high during this ruff time in my life
You are so welcome 🙏
@@DailyDrivenExoticssame boat, thanks for keeping me from shutting down
Positive Vibes
@DailyDrivenExotics. You guys are huge inspiration
I found DDE during a rough time also, they're good medicine when you need it and I'm still here!
Mike is a driving sob. I am so glad all you guys got hooked up together, such great chemistry. I never miss a video on either channel. Love ysob's
Probably one of my favorite episodes , this was nuts glad you guys are letting Mike break loose and drive !
This episode was incredible! Mike killing it as usual and having the legendary Larry Chen join in with his best in the business talent was awesome! Love it guys! 👏🏼👏🏼
Best video in some time, I love this type of content, outstanding!
Glad you enjoyed it. Had fun making this video. 🏎️ 🏁
DDE is back and in full swing!!!! This is what the people wanted!!!!!
LOVE seeing the smile on Mike’s face, being in his happy place! What an awesome time!!
Follow Larry Chen instagram.com/larry_chen_foto?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Man, DDE has came so far. Built a huge family/business together and i love it. The new direction of the company and the vision is 🔥🔥🔥
Mike is a savage, hell of a driver & mechanic!! 🔥🔥
From another photographer, Larry is an absolute GOD! Some of the most iconic automotive shots IMO.
So awesome to see Mike just rip and do what he does best. That’s amazing
Mike Essa and Tim are teh best addition to the channel! lucked out you get to keep a guy with his talent full time!
Damn Mike CAN DRIVE !!!!!!
Yes he can 🔥
He is a champion for a reason
@@mackimulti champion*
Formula champion for a reason
We need more of this. Love seeing Mike Drift! He's a wicked driver.
Awesome to see Mike enjoying himself after all the hard work he has put in. Kudos to Mike for slaying tires
Mike Essa is impressive as a mechanic. But he is on another dimension as a driver
The smiles tell the whole story. Glad everyone had a great time. Look forward to more race car action.
Seeing Damon happy made me smile, seeing MIKE drive gave me so much joy. ONE DAY 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Bro the amount of times I caught myself smiling like a kid ina candy store watching this episode! 😄The boys are KILLING IT!!🔥🤘
Can’t lie….DDE is killing it with this content lately. I’m loving the builds and now we are racing!!!
FINALLY some absolutely amazing and awesome driving! Loving it!
So much fun seeing Mike fly around the track in his M3 🤌
Mike all around knowledge spinning wrenches & behind the wheel is impeccable!! What a great add to the team! Cheers Mike & Team!
I still can't get over Mike is that good of a driver ontop of being as skilled in the shop as he is. Such a good find with him for the DDE Fam and has changed the entire channel up for you guys in a good way...allows for footage and some time off now for you guys since him, Tim and Mark have such a good connection and a solid team
We need more track day videos ❤
They’re pretty fun to make and I’m learning so much with every time I drive the Lambo racecar. Slowly getting better.
You’re doing great brother keep up the good work
Now this is great content!!! Let’s go! Damon and Mike racing plus “The Man” Larry Chen making magic. More of this please.
Same thoughts while watching this episode !!
This Channel has gotten so much better ever since Mark, Mike, and Tim joined. No disrespect to Damon and Dave but the racing/track content along with the build series is what this channel was really missing.
Honestly, this is the best video you guys have put out in months, THANK YOU for some real driving content.
Absolutely, adrenaline rushing sick video. You guys are killing it, love everybody the crew, the harmony, the channel is on fire. Damon killed it, hold the Tesla off. That was sick as hell. Thank you guys for all your awesome content. Best content on CZcams period let alone a motive.❤
Engine vs electric on track day cool YSOB
Best DDE content I've seen. Loved the legit track time and tips! Some drift was a fun touch, but the track battles had me going!
This was such a cool episode, I know Mike was super happy to be back in his element Damon being super hyped, definitely should work with the camera guy to get some sick shots in future episodes
Such great driving! The Champ is a PRO! Damon is becoming well versed and gets better each time out. Nice job by all.
I miss seeing Mike in FD, was always one of my favorite drivers. At least I get to see him here now!
That roof camera angle was FIRE!!! Well done Mike and whowever decided on that camera angle.
Mike and Tim are such a great addition to this channel...
Loving all the angles, some really nice/exciting shots! But also i think you should leave a 1st person POV out the front window, into the track, for longer periods of time.....Like when you watch in car rally footage, or Isle Of Man insanity.

Love seeing Mike doing what he does best and seeing how happy he is after... amazing video
I really liked hearing Mike coach Damon over the radio and following along.
LMAO Damon Tryna Force Us To Download VERO 🤣🤣
It’s almost like he has a background in marketing and is trying to promote his own business to grow, weird right?
its almost like they are paid to do it.......
Mike is such a smooth drifter it’s crazy! And the lambo looks so good on the track, keep it up Damon, doing really good on the track!!
The video was full of positive energy and pure joy! Seeing everybody smiling and having fun, that`s what transfers to us the fans! Keep up the good work DDE
Skinnys so cool he wears his visor backwards!!! Stoked you guys took the time to enjoy your hard work. This needs to be a bi monthly tjings to keep comraderie up!!! Be safe

We need more track days ! This put the biggest smile on my face from start to finish !!! Great job guys !!!
Love the videos lately, but hands down this has to be the sickest video yet! This is what we wanna see! Much love to the DDE crew!
Well done damon 👏 👍 what an amazing day of racing, and the best thing about the day is learning more everything u go out on track. What a awesome and amazing day...
Mike is pretty much exactly what the team needs. Dude can build, drive, and spot you while you’re driving.
I think Mike, Tim, and Mark breathe new life into is channel.
Mike taking the new hires on the track already! What an amazing boss!
