There are so many that we would love to be first but we wanted to make sure that all of the new rules were out there so we could talk about them with all of th guests.
Sweet! I have an 11 hr road trip tomorrow this is perfect timing!!! Gonna leave it playing on silent for now just to give you the view! Gotta love Chelsea, the man's a beast
THIS IS THE BEST THING YOU GUYS COULD'VE DONE. I f'kn LOVE podcasts, and now there's one for my favorite sport!!! 😁🙏 Might be a good idea to do them in-person at some point, but this is good too
@Formula DRIFT Rome wasn't built in a day, I get it. I'm just beyond excited to listen to you guys talk about one of my biggest passions 🙏❤️ Thank you for everything you guys are doing, seriously!
Please track me down for a high five. It is a job for sure. Don't get me wrong this is what I have been working toward for a long time but there is a ton if scheduling and logistics to make it all work. And that is when everything goes well lol.
When i first grabbed a used tire it was just a memento of the event, but found it to be a good chair for the day, and then at home. Softer and indestructible compared to plastic chairs. Maybe not the classiest lawn furniture, but i think about FD every time I look at one.
Listening to this podcast after he left fd is interesting towards the end he said he isn't ready to leave or going to leave anytime soon i wonder what changed
1:55:12 I was watching a race at NOLA Motorsports Park and thought how it would be a PHENOMENAL drift track. There is a technical section which exactly what Chelsea is talking about. There is also a carting track that would be extremely technical. Everything is well situated to accept an easily accessible paddock too.
We think so too and we looked at it. Scheduling and radius to RA is the big challenge, along with interest in the market. We already have two events in the south, basically.
Interesting insight on the future of FD from Chelsea. As a fan of the sport and FD I respectfully disagree with him though. I understand where he's coming from, but I thought that would be a backwards progression of the sport from a driver's perspective. I would have thought drivers that have been doing this for a long time would get bored of constantly driving at a lower grip level and a low speed and the driver's progression will come from the engineering side of things. I always think of FD like F1 where F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport engineering and the R&D that goes into the cars to make them grip better and to make them faster is what pushes the drivers each year. What you (Chelsea) is suggesting is great for Prospec and I feel like that's what Prospec is for. I feel like what FD needs to be is the F1 of drifting - it needs to be the series with the most R&D to push the engineering to the next limits of drifting. It needs to be the most innovative, it needs to be the fastest, it needs to have the greatest cars otherwise it isn't a world class leading event. FD needs to be a showcase of how far drifting has come where someone can look at drifting now and compare that to 10 years ago and go "wow, we've really come a long way" whereas I feel like the direction that Chelsea states brings the sport back to same grip levels and speeds as drifting 10 years ago which I would have thought for a driver is boring and for a fan is not that exciting either.
I honestly think even if tey did reduce tire size it would only be a few years before we are back to the speeds we have now. This last gen of F1 cars are slower than last gen but i dont think it will be long before they are faster.
@@formuladrift to that is just stupid to have because if you are able to have 2 different events that are close to each like Charlotte and ATL you would be able to draw more ppl to them because they go see one and then the next one is with a few hours drive they say let's go there as well. A win win for both the track and FD
@@bigkorn16 Radius clauses are pretty standard for large venues, especially one like RA who wants to protects their event. RA is a co-promoted event, so that is a standard thing in the industry for events that are configured like that, and it's because what you said it not entirely true. People make choices about their expenses and when you have events so close, especially if they are in the same general time window, which they would have to be, you will cannibalize your event(s). That is actually well-known in the industry. It's been in our deal for all 20 years and you can imagine why. RA was the very first venue to accept drifting and they also protect us at their own venue so it goes both directions.
One quick thing I noticed on the intro, when you listen to the intro with audio only, it's just Jarod yelling incoherently for 5-10 seconds. With video it's great, but audio only in the truck it is a very strange experience.
What it needs is a higher treadwear a True 240 Maybe bump up the lighter cars tire width a little if not. Cars should be able to do a (First to 2 wins or best of 3) & refresh tires for sudden death/OMT. If win/lose/draw Obv still burn them off instantly with unusable power Also you guys should be allowed to sell FD scrubs to your local Drifters but I know liabilities
A lot comes down to what the Tire brands can and will produce in bulk, but the higher treadwear is interesting. I am sure the selling of scrubs from drivers paying for tires does happen. That best of 3 is also an interesting thought.
i've always felt the burden behind Denofa discourse, meaning competitive drift is NEVER for fun, ok i understand that JR coinfrased the "FUN HAVER", but its not for fun im pretty sure, hell, even Naoki Nakamura wich drifted his whole life inside and out of tracks doesnt do Pro stuff for fun, by the way he is the real and original Fun Haver. travel across the country, sleeping bad, maneuvering sponsors interests, away from family, forcing the smile face to look good on cameras plus the politics from behind the curtains im positive its not for fun. even drift week its not for fun nowdays, to be strong armed to say that you can do 50 laps on 1 set of tires? and the rest of the time to listem and nod for the dude saying how his model of business is better than FD, even though they have nothing in common. dont get me wrong, i really like watching closely FD and other competitive drift championships, but one must know how to separate categories and enjoy it the most. Final Bout and Super D for instance born from the original BMI format, focused on fun, and many other soukoukai kind of events, thats were the "joy of drifting" is at.
Yes, at the end of the day, this is your job. We are here if you want to be a professional at the highest level and there is a time for coolness for sure. What’s equally cool is living your dream for a living, buying a house, taking care of your loved ones, being the next Carol Shelby (Gittin). That’s pretty cool too.
I love how Chelsea’s interview is the most recent, but it’s the most viewed podcast so far. Dude is an animal
LFG!
Yall know you should've started this series with Chelsea. Dudes a mad man.
There are so many that we would love to be first but we wanted to make sure that all of the new rules were out there so we could talk about them with all of th guests.
Loving this series, keep it up! Jacob, you're crushing this series man!
Thank you, sir. Excited to hang out a bit more this year.
We need that Home Depot Chelsea sponsorship
Chelsea is in my top 5 as well but the way he drifts is legendary
Excited for this one! Thank you. I love to hear from Chelsea, definitely my favorite driver.
Spoiler, its great lol
Sweet! I have an 11 hr road trip tomorrow this is perfect timing!!! Gonna leave it playing on silent for now just to give you the view! Gotta love Chelsea, the man's a beast
Thank you lol
That DK Golf bike bag was amazing i remember it too
The only episodes which matters.
Oh i think there will be more.
the audio is silent at 1:10:00
Pretty sure they did that on purpose
Looking into this. Thank you.
THIS IS THE BEST THING YOU GUYS COULD'VE DONE. I f'kn LOVE podcasts, and now there's one for my favorite sport!!! 😁🙏 Might be a good idea to do them in-person at some point, but this is good too
For sure. To get those big interviews, this is what is possible now, but all at event pods will be in person

@@Codeman887 Thanks for the support, we are already mapping out how we want this to go moving forwward.
@@Codeman887you are right, Rome wasn’t built in a day…. His E36 either 😂
@@Charlie-Charlot 😂😂😂
We agree with Chelsea 100% on the 4-5 turn tracks. Sadly, in the US, with all the things we need, they really don't exist.
F yeah! Been waiting for the Denofa one! He's the man!
He was awesome.
@@jacobgettins You're killing it man! What a dream job my dude! Hope one day we can have a smoke break together, lol! See ya at LB hopefully!

@@jacobgettins For sure brother! You got this!
Chelsea & Vaughn are part of the reason why I bought and drift my s550 mustang
Hell yeah. Rewatched the first ep while swapping wheels earlier tonight. So hyped for the new episode
“We’re not condoning taking a rental car to the track”
Chelsea’s like whatever it’s not my channel. Lol
Favorite driver in FD. Loved this
Thank you, loved chatting with him
@@jacobgettins you’re doing a great job!!
@@Mrtyguy I really appreciate it. See you at an event?
@@jacobgettins I’ll be at FD SEATTLE man!!! First event ever!!
@@Mrtyguy siiiiick. So stoked for you. Well keep an eye out. I'll be there.
Let's gooo! The outer zone instantly became my favorite podcast, great work, team!
Thank you, we are loving the process.
Chelsea gonna have me selling my C6 to get a S550!! 😂 Love it. Lol
"RIP Jon Duncan" LOL
my fav FD driver last 10 years

I approve of this explanation.
Been loving this podcast. You guys should try to get Bye Run on. Dude's a ripper
Won't answer my calls lol
Love Chelsea
Chelsea is awesome :), the hot wheels comment had me smiling and laughing. so good! also epic work Jacob. love it :)
Thank you. Yeah, the hotwheels part was great.
brb, I need to go get some home stuff from home depot
Great interview! Chelsea's the man, and I love the swearing it makes it real
Lmaoooo 🙋🏽♂️Yes I’ve taken a used tire from an FD event 🥳
Sooo what are you doing with it now?
@@jacobgettins its holding a drip tray under my LS! It was from my first FD event in 2010. A good memory still doing a good job! 🤙😎
Kinda wish they had a HP limit for Pro and Pro Spec
Too difficult and impractical to have oversight, i.e.: boost pressure
Listening to this podcast after he left fd is interesting towards the end he said he isn't ready to leave or going to leave anytime soon i wonder what changed
Comeback to Montreal we are ready I’m telling you 😂

I didnt know chelsea raced bmx, thats awesome.
Chelsea is that guy love the insight. FD should look into doing documentaries like ESPN on the driver and the upcoming prospect guys as well too
I believe there is something already in the works
This is your year Chelsea!! Denofa 2023 FD champ!!!
I wanna know where these $10k coyotes are lol I’d part out my E30 on the spot.
Ayyye! Chelsea closing it out🎬🔥
Bring FD back to Lake Erie Speedway!

Your car is the only ford on my wall for hotwheels!!
wow thats a big honor
, do all of the Mopars look at it funny?
A Chelsea denofa video game would be amazing!!!
I want an FD event in Charlotte NC at Charlotte motor speedway. With the infield road course u can get a drift course made very easily
oooo that would be cool
That wound be sick but it’s within ATL’s radius clause.

Why did the audio cut at 1:08
Yeah looking into it. It's only appearing on YT at this moment.
Sound is missing at 1:10:03??
BRING FD BACK TO SUMMIT POINT!
I think the best new tracks would be the Vegas strip and the F1 track in Austin Texas those would be God tier
Where can you find a s550 V8, manual for 10k? What you guys talking about!!!!
Did anyone else have a problem losing audio at about and hour and a half
One quick thing I noticed on the intro, when you listen to the intro with audio only, it's just Jarod yelling incoherently for 5-10 seconds. With video it's great, but audio only in the truck it is a very strange experience.
Ahaha we will look at reworking this.
Where you getting a GT S550 for 10k? I need to live in that world haha
"just floor it"

Really cool podcast! Would be nice to bring diego higa since he is the guy from hyperdrive coming to FD
We are working on it
DeNofa = All Gas No Brake
"I'll just run you over" that kind of attitude is why people like Chelsea
This Canadian guy. 14k for a shell. What dork is paying that for a SHELL . 1:05:41

ahahah its a Touque here in Canada lol Also a ball cap would cause a big shadow over my face lol
@@jacobgettins ?FD is not in Canada and if he has good lighting no shadows. I mean if Chelsea can get it done...
Getting the knowledge from Chelsea is just dope, but listening to jacob just cursing nonstop I can’t.

Where is he seeing s550s for 10k lol
