This is exactly what the FD podcast should highlight. It is not always sunshine and rainbows and we love to hear about the truth behind running a professional program. You are going to kill it next season!
These are the things that make me become a fan of someone, showing that they’re a real person with real issues, you’ll have me rooting for you next time you’re behind the wheel
Excellent video! just remember when you feel like you hit rock bottom the only way left to go is back to the top. Keep pushing forward things will get better. Looking forward to seeing you up on the podium again. Good Luck!
I didn’t really follow you through the season, but my first time watching FD in person was Seattle. We were all so pumped for you dude. And I’m excited to see where you go from here. Count me in as one of those people you’ve inspired
Mike… the delivery, the story, the highs and lows, the honesty and transparency really mean a lot. I hope we can get dad back onboard to support your love for drifting and a bigger and better season next year. I’ve never met you, but find myself as a big FD fan through following LZ for many years and after watching this find myself a Mike Power fan. Excited to snag a new tee and follow your FD journey next year. Cheers!
Mike, I'm one of those who just stumbled upon this video and finished it all the way through. TBH I was more of a mainstream driver fan, but I cheer you on whenever you win (and I'm sure im not the only one) who sees so much in your skill. Always amazed how fast you go through the tracks. Long beach this year, I felt all the emotions when you went to the wall. I just felt really bad for you and your team, and it really just got worse throughout the season. I really hope you make it back bigger, better and stronger next year. You're an awesome humble dude. We're rooting for you. Oh and btw this year's livery is SIIIIICK.
Mike, so proud of you for pushing so hard. It’s not easy driving against the best of the best, but look at you. You’re doing it and having a real experience. Keep your chin up and enjoy the Z, it’s probably the best drift car all around. Love ya Mike❤
never watched you before but i love the honesty, life isnt all fun and games and you are working through the highs and lows incredibly well. I respect the commitment to the community and hope to see you back in action soon
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable with us 🖤 Things happen but what’s most important is how you handle the situation and how you overcome it. Growth typically isn’t linear, and I’m a true believer that things happen to teach you a lesson and shape your character. I believe you’ll come out of this stronger and I’m excited to be able to witness that growth and be apart of that journey with you 💕
Being honest, I haven’t followed your career too closely but that has now changed. RUclips recommended me this video and I quickly subscribed. I wish the best for you and your team when the 2025 season rolls around. I hope to see you on the track in Assetto Corsa whenever you happen to get a simulator! Would be awesome to get some laps with you 🍻🍻
Not every year will be the best, and some might be your worst. But we strive for competition and love a good challenge. Keep going brother, things will look up!
You know, for my whole life i want to become a drifter, or just racing driver in general. From your video i can learn that, the number 1 factor to achieve and live your dream is never give up. that fuels me so much that i will never give up to reach my dream. thank you so much for changing my mindset for such thing that i love so much. Keep fighting bro, i should be the one that thanking you. Love you bro 🫶🏻
I really appreciate the insight to your personal life. We always just see drivers from the outside never knowing what they had to do to get to where they are. Truly you are, Powerful.❤
im very glad you found the confidence to release a video like this, not everyone sees being a pro driver on the self funded side! really appreciate you Mike!
Ever since I first saw you at FD STL 2021 I knew you were passionate about the sport. You kicked ass to be here and you deserve to be in pro. The lows make the highs so much better. Love you man. Keep killing it and inspiring us. 🖤🖤🖤
So I’ve been following you for years. It hurt to see the struggles you’ve had to endure. I’ve only talked with you once at H2oi at the Coffee Beanery in OC like 2018 I think, but you’re one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met from car scene, I hope you can catch a break and have a break out year in 2025. You deserve it!
As a struggling drifter with high ambitions, I really appreciated the insight and honesty. I’m always wondering how these seasons get funded. Drifting is just so hard to make happen. It’s super frustrating seeing all this money in other motorsports while pro level drifters are barely making it. Barely anyone is making a good living. I really really wish something changes that brings the sport more mainstream and ultimately brings more money to the sport. It would be so cool to see pros become super wealthy and see a ton of money poured into the pits and sport overall. NASCAR money 😎
Love the transparency! Not everything is perfect and theres alot of lows in our hobby. Your a ripper dude dont ever think otherwise. The wind is just not in the right direction rn
Love to hear you’re sticking around! I honestly prefer to see teams like yours compete because you show us the truth BTS and show anyone with enough drive can do it!
Glad you are going to continue, really enjoying seeing you compete and building video’s of the car. One of the nicest cars on grid, i liked the all black with yellow tinted lights te most, looked aggresive 😁 Greetings from the Netherlands 😉
I remember last year at the open drift at Evergreen right after the event you were still there. We had pitted right next to you, you came over and talked with us. The most down to earth and humble people ever. I look forward to seeing again at Monroe again next year homie, and we'll get a beer at Jr's after the event!
Well-done on everything you have achieved so far in your career. It's sad to see top level drivers having a bad year, but your luck will change. Just keep on fighting the good fight, and you will get there
I didn’t watch the video but I saw the video and title and all I’m going say bro is don’t let a bad season deter you from wanting to compete at the highest level. Take a season off if anything and go do some spirited driving to get your feel back and come back harder or come back harder this next season. You got potential and a good car. Go shred brotha you worked hard to get where your at
Tough years are the ones who shape your why, I’m glad to see your not quitting but still taking the reasonable approach or regrouping and getting into a better place for 2025🙏🏻 Keep on fighting bro!
Love your driving style, car style. Didn’t know you’d a youtube channel. Best thing to do is build the 350z To be a workhorse and drive the shit out of it and not care about how it looks, Just abuse it, take frustration out on it and learn your limits as a driver. Sending love from Ireland
LFG Mike ! Great video ! Love the resilience , you got this ! This season only gonna make u better , excited to see the progression from here! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽#mambamentality
Love your passion and honesty. Every obstacle is an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser and more resilient. You will rise above these challenges. Don’t doubt yourself! 2025 is the year of rebirth, a fresh start. You got this!
never give up man look at adam lz now he also got a hell of a year from prev season but now his on top 5 make it as a inspiration if lz can do it soo as you man you can do it push forward
Nothing but positive vibes out to you and the crew. Heading out to get some lotto tickets- I’ll make sure to share the wealth if they hit 🖤 hahaha love from UT 🤘🏼
Pull a Chelsea Denofa and demand Forsberg joins your team. I made a comment on the Maximum Driftcast fb page but you being from the east coast and driving English town, gives me vibes you and Chris would make a siiiick team 🤙
Hey man I was there shooting media at the comp track at Sonoma the day you got your license, I bought a Power Racing hoodie at Irwindale 2021, I’ve been seeing the ups and downs you’ve gone through. I, along with everyone else watching this, see the spark and the potential you have. I wish you were able to compete this weekend at Irwindale but I know you’ll be stronger coming next year. Take the off season to reset and recover and take it as a clean slate. Remember to drive for you and not for others. I’ll be wearing that same hoodie for the forth year in a row at Irwindale tomorrow🫶🏼
Sounds like you’d be the perfect driver to hop into one of Odis cars for next year with Simon leaving. If you could just drive and not be worried about the 5000 other things that come with running your own program I could see you doing great.
Don’t quit brother you are good. Grind laps on the sim and destroy all like these kids. Tired of the good drivers like you quitting and seeing these scrubs who can’t even hardly link E Town.
Mike, you're a phenomenal driver. Stoked to hear you're not giving up! Been a fan for a few years and I can tell we still haven't seen PEAK POWER. Take care of yourself and come back stronger. ✌️
I’d say try a different series in the US or Internationally when the budget is better imo it would be a shame to see a great talent not drive anymore because of one bad season or burnout
You will do better next year and I promise you that you are amazing and awesome and I love your 2024 livery it's was very sexy and beautiful and I hope you have a new twist in 2025 with the livery and keep your head up and work your ass off and make 2025 your best year yet

Never seen u as a quitter dawg. Take the bad in stride. The good is going to be that much better. Easy to quit. Keep going forward
Through adversity comes greatness!
One of the best looking cars in FD. It’s a war of attrition, keep up the good work 🤙🏻

good luck. you got this
Mike Power to Team Feal with Odi????
I would step down to pro2 if i was in your situation. Cheaper and the driver level is more diverse imo which makes it better than pro1
This season of FD has been the worst in memory. Terrible matchups, terrible judges, low energy. This economy has taken on toll on everyone.
Don’t quit brother you are good. Grind laps on the sim and destroy all like these kids.
Tired of the good drivers like you quitting and seeing these scrubs who can’t even hardly link E Town.
Mike, you're a phenomenal driver. Stoked to hear you're not giving up! Been a fan for a few years and I can tell we still haven't seen PEAK POWER.
Take care of yourself and come back stronger. ✌️
I mean. At least you got a podium at Seattle Seeding. And maybe somewhere else I don’t remember who got podiums.
Keep the 🔥 alive!!
keep pushing
you got this mike!
I don’t like the seedling bracket. I hope they go back to qualification
I had no idea. I'm sure so many of us didn't know your stuggles this season.
GET MIKE P. 1 MILL SUBS
I’d say try a different series in the US or Internationally when the budget is better imo it would be a shame to see a great talent not drive anymore because of one bad season or burnout
looking from bright side, more shit you go trough more experience you have.
once you hit rock bottom there is only one way to go.
Ya gotta risk it for the biscuit
If there is anything you need man LMK.
Bring back the coupe for a fun car!
You will do better next year and I promise you that you are amazing and awesome and I love your 2024 livery it's was very sexy and beautiful and I hope you have a new twist in 2025 with the livery and keep your head up and work your ass off and make 2025 your best year yet
Nah champ change the scenery. You are not done!
“Are you quitting FD?” HEHEHELL NAH
As a guy from overseas I'm like who is this guy? Never heard of you before
@@Smokey7186 thanks for stopping by!
Sooooooo what about that e30?
maybe need some better and more neutral championship
