- The Drift Masters series sees 45 drivers from 22 nations compete over 6 events in different countries for the ultimate prize in the game, the Drift Masters Championship. For 2024, the season kicked off in Valencia, Spain last weekend and we had our very own team on the grid. 16 year old Conor Falvey from Ireland and Ryusei Akiba from Japan would meet for the first time before joining team Drift Games for the season..
In this video, we go behind the scenes and show you just how harsh top level drifting can be at Drift Masters. When things go wrong, they go really wrong…

seeing jack coming to help with the gearbox while knowing they also had 2 cars with issues in their garage is wild major props!
I think Jack just takes after his dad. He sees a broken car and he can't help but try and fix it.
I honestly believe that those guys are the best and worst to drive against..
Best cos they will give everything 100% even helping you be in the race.
Worst cos their 100% is pretty fing nuts.. 😂
It's the whole Irish teams coming over to help you had Mckeever coming over. Tbh the whole European teams are so good at getting their competitions cars sorted to battle them
bro the shannahans are the best in the game
@@paddymckenna7687 This is what gave me goosebumps. The fact that all of the Irish teams and drivers were helping out. It's crazy how close competitors actually are off of the track, truly crazy ❤
I don't see how anyone could dislike Ryusei, what an absolute legend
why do you say that, obviously none dislikes a humble and cool guy with the best drifting style from japan
Welcome, Ryu.
You'd have to be some scared of a child to dislike him. Which is a bigger concern LOL!
Dave, you probably have a good idea of how important that talk you gave to Conor was, but I just want to remind you how important that was. What a PERFECT outlook to remind a young man to have.
I love you guys and hope nothing but the best for you all this season and beyond.
Could not agree more 👌
this is eye-opening how brutal pro drift can be and the absolute army of people it takes busting their hump to keep these cars together, everything crossed for the next one at mondello!
That's most racing TBF. Especially at the level of international championships.
Everyone is v good, everyone is pushing the limits as much as they can and stuff breaks all the time. Sometimes randomly even, with no changes and not even moving the car.
@@dzzope Yep, can confirm from growing up around open wheel racing while my dad was an engineer for a whole string of racing teams over a long period of time. Stuff happens. The thing that separates the wheat from the chaff is how a team pulls together and overcomes obstacles to success.
100% professional motorsports are no joke
No matter the outcome, it is always so heartwarming to see the drift community coming together to help each other compete.
"Drift games as a team for the first ever time."
Kickass line considering what yous have been through.
All the best from across the puddle (Scotland)🤘.
Even having cars here on such short notice after losing basically everything is a victory in and of itself.
16 and he's driving like that already, unbelievable. What an absolute legend. Never feel bad about the car not performing, it's out of your hands. Amazing effort guys 🤙🏼
love how ryusei just dapped up his car lol
Your newest shirt couldn't have said it any better. "We didn't come this far to only come this far" You guys are the epitome of never give up. Keep pushing team! The season's only just begun. 👏👏👏
Drift Games is gonna take the championship!
Tears in my eyes watching this man, this is beautiful! the humbleness, comradery, just everything!
Those liveries look so good! What a team, looking forward to redemption at Mondello! 🇯🇵♥️🇮🇪
Can't wait!
Sure it's easy, especially on CZcams, to show only the good bits and not the bad. But this sort of honesty and transparency is always appreciated. We're here to watch and support you guys, triumph or disaster. Kudos to the team and everyone who helped out for the repairs and the drivers for the making the best of it.
Those two lads are proper peddlers, keep your heads up once your cars are sorted you’ll both smash it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Conor comes across as such a nice young man....the mother and father should be very proud of him.
For 16yrs old Conor has a great attitude and outlook considering how the day unfolded!
And Ryusei always seems so calm and chill............ The 2 of them together and the rest of the team have good chemistry!!!
Keep up the good work everyone 👍🏻
Dave is the hype man every team should have
"it's not about winning or losing , it's about the journey" I think that sums up this whole video. such a roller coaster of emotions
Honestly I think it just awesome seeing a team from Ireland, with so many international team members coming together because of a love of cars and drifting awesome to see. Well done to the two boys, for getting at it even with all the challenges. Dave that pep talk you gave Connor was 100%
This team has some major potential, two young passionate drivers and a great team behind them.
This was sick. I love that everyone is in a state of service. 'Love' in action. A true expression of putting others before yourself and lifting one another up on all fronts
So heartwarming seeing Jack Shanahan helping out with the gearbox and handing out parts. No other motorsport has this comradery imo.
Was nice to stop and talk to you guys. Thanks for signing my never give up my t-shirt. Shame it didn't go your way but it's back on home turf next 😎
Spotted myself in the back ground twice so far 😂
What a team! The young drivers and everyone making it possible! All the best luck guys!!
What a team, the 2 young lads are unbelievably down to earth, they’re luck will change, keep it going 👏
You have really picked the perfect lads to be part of the team! Ryusei just gels so well with the lads already and you can tell he's genuinely honoured to have been given the opportunity and the same with conor, us irish fans have seen him progress in such a short time and again gets on so well with the crew
When there is passion, language is not needed. Everyone clicked up with ease.
Beautiful to watch, and I can’t wait to see this team on top.
Hat’s off to the gang!
On to the next one!❤
Gosh i wanna see both of them do good they are the best two dudes possible no one can hate on either one of them
I don't know what happened to your boys yet but i watched the event and it was great. Your commentary really makes it all the better. Round 2 should be a banger.
You all are an such an inspiration! I was so honoured to meet akiba and conor, incredible cool and nice guys. These obstacles are all put to prove your willingness as a group to keep going, never give up and improve more and more! Me and everyone that support you believe in drift games, thanks for giving me the best day of my life! Hope to see you again in Spain!! ❤️
first round is all about getting the format together, you guys have got this!
I respect these dudes so much. Keep hammering.
We will!
Watching this brings a tear to my eye to see 2 vastly different cultures blend so seamlessly doing something they love. Hats off to you boys at Drift Games for making this a reality. You are such an inspiration and have gained a few lifelong fans from here in SA 🇿🇦
“I gotta be honest I just threw up behind the bus” that’s the real shit we wanna hear!
The way he dubbed up the car 7:42
Happy tears in my eyes the whole video. This was such a heartwarming video seeing the guys all come together and everyone lending hands. What a solid team. Props to the editor for capturing such moments
Seeing everyone smile and introduce themselves at the start is super wholesome.
I respect the transparency of this video. Some people would only show how great everything is or not have any footage at all. You guys showed that it's not always "peaches and cream".
Breaking my heart seeing the bad luck happening to all the boys but witnessing the teamwork and love from a combined family ❤
Lets go DriftGames!!
Emotion, passion and friendship is a combination that never fails. See a group of people fighting for one individual goal, even when is not their own goal, always takes the best from human beings. The people involved in all this "experiment" (as Dave call it) really make me stay plugged to my little screen and, if usually i like DriftGames videos, i gonna follow Drift Masters from now on only to watch Connor and Ryusei succeed as they deserve. Good luck!
This was great, I know it didn’t go your way but everyone is invested in this journey and win or lose seeing the growth over the weekend was amazing. Hon the lads!
Watching the amount of work and support conor's parents give brought a tear to my eye, it's beautiful to see!
So proud of your boys..Never give up... Much Love...
Unreal. The team ethic is already set in stone. The community is with you even Jack and Conor coming over in the middle of their well publicised weekend of “issues”. Ryusei and Conor working together all bodes well for future events. Teething problems, as to be expected. Content has such a “real” emotional vibe. Forza DG ✊❤️😀
That’s racing, build it again, learn from the mistakes, stay positive and keep pushing. Tmrw is another day and next drift event is all that matters at this point
That's the plan!
rooting for you all in the next round, awesome team effort.
Fingers crossed!
Crazy how everybody of the team holds together, wish you guys the best for future. Can't wait for the next videos. Greetings from Germany you got this ;)
the best part of this video is watching those 2 young men build a life long friendship, this test at stop one only solidified the great team Drift Games has assembled with 2 great young level headed drivers only up from here cant wait to see them at round 2!!! #NEVERGIVEUP was on full display the perfect moto for Drift Games
These two supporting each other is really heart warming, they just met and they seem to already have this brotherhood bond. Even they're crew came together tackling the cars, team Drift games has truly became a family. NEVER GIVE UP!!
The best video you’ve put out… it had EVERYTHING!!! Please use this format for every event this season 🙏🏻
This must have been the most real and dramatic video ive ever seen of a competition. Total roller coaster ride, but what can you do if the cars keep failing?
Sheesh boys, I loved every bit of this video, what an absolutely emotional roller-coaster of emotions. The love out there is real.
Loved this episode. Seeing all the teams come together was amazing to see even the shanahan’s jack and Connor and family helping out . What an amazing community the drift games and drift masters is . Keep the hard work up . All the team keep your heads up high . You only get out what you put in 💪💪💪
Not gonana lie, this was frustrating and heart breaking to watch because of all the issues with the cars. These guys are great drivers and I can't wait to see what they can do with propper working cars. Best of luck to the Drift Games team on round 2.
A proud member of team, "Never Give Up"! Best of luck moving forward.
Drift games team did great !! Drifting is an amazing sport the support for each other is amazing ❤
Terrific drivers and crew you've got there. All working together to solve problems and keeping a good attitude while doing so which is not easy. 👏
This was great. I know what drivers ill be rooting for this year.
now this is the type of content that's good showing the work behind the scenes, you can relate and feel the pain of the whole team and be able to stand and route for them even more, the same like in movies, character development is important. we always the the glamour which is cool but it just feels bleh... so thanks for this and keep going!!! they will get those podiums....
I got my shirt finally! Thank you guys so much for all that you do! Can't wait to see how this team performs together. So happy for you guys! Yall are like a Phoenix rising from the ashes!!!
This is the most amazing content I have ever seen in years on CZcams. Full of motivation and teamwork. Really inspiring to see everyone come together to achieve the same goal. Keep it up
Keep plugging away team! Karma will reward all the hard work put in during the event with a sweet savory win! Looking forward to the rest of the year from all off you!
What a pair of legends - can see the serious potential in the boys. Keep your head up lads, everyone’s rooting for ya!
Comradery is so refreshing to be envisioned especially in this sport im happy you shared this with us, this isn't a let down or a fall this is the start to the climb to the top. Can't wait for Mondello Park Round 2!
So much tenacity in the team, they never gave up.
So much wisdom in what Dave said to Connor after it was over.
Love you guys for that! Good stuff!
#LetMeEnjoyMyCar
What you guys have put together in such a sort time - with the added things on top
You've put together such a professional team - everyone working together, this is what drifting is all about a family all helping each other and this shows is in volumes
2 great drivers with a mega team behind them - Bring on round 2
No..! this is exactly what you guys should show, these are the best kind of videos! the team work between everyone.. amazing! keep em coming!
Keep your head up guys, you got this !! Unbelievable video, thank you.
Honestly just got into dmec in the last year or so and didn't find your channel until the fire happened, I'm glad I found it at the very least and can support now because you are one of my favorite commentators and love seeing the posts you guys do, keep it up and can't wait for the next one 🙌🏽
If there is 1 lesson to take from all this, it’s that you guys need taller axle stands.
😂 true
Amazing video. Awesome content behind the cameras. Best of luck for the future rounds. Can't wait for mondello.
Damn this was so sad to watch, they're such nice kids and all you want to see is them get a chance. Definitely looking forward to following their journeys
Just being getting there was a monumental feat and the team worked so well together. Can’t wait to see how everything comes together at the next rounds!
I honestly love this video so much! It's so awesome to see everyone come together as a team and see you guys get back on top. Seeing behind the scenes drama and what not, made the video feel so wholesome and easy to connect with. Almost felt like a mini documentary. It was super rad! We will never give up!
Great attitude from both drivers
Yea i almost cried watching this, its so heartbreaking. Hopefully both of them will have a good weekend at Mondello park
Drift Games crew giving young drivers a chance is great to see and these guys handled the issues well most young kids there age wouldve been upset but they handled it. Very diligent and very well respectful. I wanna see more from these 2 young drivers
Its just a weekend to get the mechanics ready! Great learning experience for them. At least they made it there! Adams car didn't even arrive in time! Also those rigs are deluxe!
Amazing team that you have put together Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing the two young lads standing on the podium soon, and I hope you can keep this whole team for many years to come. My two new favorite drivers, I need some driver merch, lol.
Loving the energy of the team, it has a real family vibe - big things coming!
This is the honest truth about racing and needs to be told. Things happen, and the way we react is the most important part.
Thanks for the POV of the inner workings. Amazing video. You guys are absolutely killing it even on the bad days. ❤
What a rocky start, but... Was so heart warming to see the entire team come together ♥️ Much love, and as you said it Dave. Its all up from now!
Being there enjoying it as a visitor and now revisiting with this video is absolutely amazing! Hope and wish for nothing but the best for the Drift Community. Keep up the great work you guys are sweating for!
Don't worry dave, look how far you guys have come.
The loss that happened in the fire, still, you guys made it to drift masters spain
Be grateful that you made this far, Don't be frustrated everyone from around the world is supporting you all❤🎉❤
You lot are a bunch of absolute legends!! With everything you've all gone through recently you just keep on trooping. You are all an inspiration to many. Big love ❤️💛💚
Its how you handle your hardships that shows true character. You and the people you have surrounded yourselves with are setting an example of how people need to be treating each other. Love thy neighbor type stuff. you keep putting the good into the world and it WILL return to you 10x.
mad sportsmanship what a lovely sport... making a big like me shed a tear. Love guys
As long as there are good memories, it doesn't matter the results! Always a great video from the Drift Games crew
The drivers were real excited, you could see they came to compete 🙆. It's quite a hectic start to things but I'm hoping things go well for yall moving forward. We're all excited to see what these lads can do. Keep pushing fam 💪🏻💪🏻
Great job! Team synergy created instantly in the face of adversity! Now it's really on!
What an amazing team, the boys are like best friends already the way everyone come together to help, the best community is motorsport can't wait for what next crew great work
Everyone did themselves proud, especially in the face of adversity.
I can't believe how mature Conor speaks and it made me near tear up when his dad, Thomas was reassuring him after the box went telling him to relax.
I feel so much pride for this team, they put in so much work and effort and still kept on the positive side when everything was fighting against them. So proud of the drift games team and community
I had the pleasure of watching you guys live in Valencia. Perks of living here!! See you guys next year
Volrace 2025!!!
You are all AMAZING people so glad you didn't give up!!! Much Love from Houston,Texas!
Seeing everyone click from the start and these 2 young guys are gonna go far in this sport
So glad drift games shows the positive and negatives of what goes on behind the scenes
NEVER GIVE UP! I went through a major surgery today and also my shirt showed up. I know this team, and DG, just like myself, will NEVER GIVE UP!
I just wanna give all of you guys a hug
see this shows that the drift community will always come together as one and help each other like its so daym awesome to see aye to the young lads as much as that weekend didnt go to plan there is always next year you both did amazing and you both should be insanely proud of your selves
I think it's the motorsport community as a whole which drifting is obviously part of. I've been fortunate to work in the paddock at many different races series covering endurance, sprint, hill climb, rally etc etc and that sort of spirit is all over. People fighting for championships will help each other out with parts and mechanics without being asked. It's wonderful. Not sure if it goes all the way to F1 but I've certainly seen it only a level below.
