I only spent a few days in Ireland, but the camaraderie and passion I saw from you guys especially is unlike anything else. You'll be back even stronger. 💪
We gotta stick together with the crazy insurance market and cost of things. We don't have German efficiency, but charm and craic, Ireland has it by the bucketful!
@@Twicky388 what on earth is going through your mind? You write the gaeist shite in yt comments. If I had to guess, your hung like a gnat and the 2 girls that have seen it had to stifle a giggle. Hope you come to terms with it.
David Goggins nailed it when he said, "The ticket to victory often comes down to bringing your very best when you feel your worst." You guys will be victorious and overcome this!
@@vidvak6411 same here. There was a property for sale that was a harley dealership with tons of out buildings and shop space as well as a paved oval test track here in PA that would be perfect for someone like this.
Just something to think about! Let us the fans sponsor Josh for the IDC. I have friends in other pro racing and they did this and it was a great way to let those who don't have the big $$ be a part of the journey. Just have donors name put on the car. The small amounts will add up. Let us ride with Josh!! Keep doing what you love!
Being an object doesn't mean having no value tho. I would definitely run back into my flaming house to save some of my possessions if it was me. I have sentimental attachments to a lot of things I own, gifts from people I love, stuff I saved up to buy, old stuff I had for so long and so on
It's not sympathy Dave, it's genuine love and admiration. You guys have built a community, so many people from all walks of life and the world flock to your content, you're real, relatable, dedicated and absolutely amazing to watch. Me and my OH watch both you and Jimmy Oakes content religiously, please don't let your pride knock back the love of your community, you all deserve it.
Hi Dave we only properly met on that terrible night. I was one of the two people who was present when the fire started. For anyone who thinks that it could have been any different it could have only been worse. The mechanic who desperately tried extinguish the fire was within seconds of being overcome by incredibly toxic fumes. If he had hesitated a moment longer he would not be with us today. The fire alarm sounded at 20:46 by 20:55 a ball of flames was covering the workshop roof and the offices. The fire brigade arrived at 21:00 and worked tirelessly to save what they could. The firefighters themselves were petrolheads too. They were so determined to save what they could. It meant something to them, the fire was just too big. Nobody could have done more. It’s tragic for all involved. Personally I’ve nothing but great admiration by your own leadership and determination to carry on. I’ve no doubt you and your team have what it takes to come back from this. When you’re going through hell, keep going.
I’ve just started watching this channel and am 100% convinced that if anyone can come back from this… it’s this guy Will be following as the most inspiring rebuild unfolds
@@m0tt498Not everything is literal. It's excessive to make a point. There is such a thing as people who can't help but find a negative way to view something rather than take some positive value from it.
By the sounds of it someone who survived and thrived through cancer and a possible career/business ending pandemic, has superhero qualities. So I can’t imagine this doing anything but building up your legacy and your already incredible resilience.
Sorry for yalls tragedy, I’ve watch yall videos forever and loved everything you did. Yall helped my passion in cars grow. Will be praying for yall, hope you guys recover from this.🙏
Especially when you worked on most of the cars to improve it...but a garage can be a very dangerous place...my cousin have a garage who burned once because of welding we believe because they weld something the morning and the fire started at 2pm and they lived the garage 10am...it took 4 hours to burn we saw it on the cameras...something similar happened to a French youtuber called "la boiserie" they weld something on a BMW the morning and few hours later the car was on fire...shit happen
@@loganleborgne420that’s why whenever I weld I put everything away right after and give everything 1h at least to settle before I leave the shop. Always a worry in the back of my mind.
If you boys want to come film in Hungary I can organize a place to stay, drifters to meet, car businesses to meet, the whole nine yards! I'd be happy to do so.
Use that excuse of Ireland not providing the correct legislation and insurance options. It’s 2024 and many countries have ways of insuring niche, sue the government…(I know how impossible that is and we the people never win. )
When Dave said “To just stand back and look at what we had achieved, from a bunch a misfits that were car enthusiasts. It’s important also to remember that, we’re not the best drifters, we’re definitely not the best mechanics, we’re not the most animated of RUclipsrs, We’re just kind of ordinary guys that love cars” that shit just hit the feels man 😢
Like I said after the “disaster video” I’m a 53 year old man and I didn’t mind admitting that I cried watching everything you had burn to the ground but, on a brighter note, I firmly believe, that Drift Games will rebuild and be bigger and better than ever before. Yes it will off course take time but I no doubt, whatsoever, that you will all make this happen and your positivity, your determination and your mindset will win the day. You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to many, many young ones who love cars. You have a unique, niche business here in Ireland and the next chapter in the Drift games story is one not to be missed!! ❤️
RUclips commented on the previous video, RUclips should now push these guys channel for them, put it on every car enthusiasts recommendations and let them build the channel, more the channel builds the quicker the build back no doubt
I’m not a drift guy but I am a car guy and I respect the passion you guys put into the cars and that amazing garage. I also spent 10 years as a firefighter/paramedic in the US which is probably why youtube recommended that particular video to me. I’m glad no one was hurt but the loss you’ve suffered is huge. I’m glad you’re giving yourself some time to grieve it. This cartoon canine Heeler from Australia once said: have a little cry, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going. Sounds like you’re no stranger to doing that and you’ve already got a plan. You’ve earned a sub from me to watch Drift Games rise like a Phoenix and I plan to order some merch here soon to help make that happen.
If you're new here check out some of their other videos, they have a really unique take on the automotive world because they organize and run events more than they build cars. A lot of their videos are focused around the behind the scenes stuff of what goes into putting on these shows and competitions. Check out their DMEC finals videos from a while back, they built a racetrack inside a soccer stadium in Poland, put on a massive competition for 55k people, and tore it all down in 4 days. Their cars are super cool but it's their passion as car people that really makes them top tier.
@@Joebobinator I love BTS looks at other industries like this. So I’m excited to see how the company is rebuilt from this but to also see where they came from as I go back through the catalog. They seem like a cool group of regular car dudes doing amazing stuff.
I hadn't heard of you guys until this morning, when RUclips randomly suggested the fire video to me. My husband lost almost everything he owned in a house fire a couple years before we met, and he lost so many collector items that can't easily be replaced, nor would insurance really cover all of them (guns, rookie cards, family items, etc.). It's jaded him against collecting stuff now; it's rare that he finds something he wants to keep for posterity because he's so scared of it happening again, even ~15 years later. Sometimes all we can do is rise above the ashes like the phoenix and carry on stronger than before.
The amount of help offered, the numerous comments, messages, and visits from individuals you personally know, and even more people that you will probably never meet. The people (sponsors), that have reached out and aren’t walking away from you guys. It all speaks tremendous volumes to what the whole team means to everyone. The updates are appreciated, and we can see that it isn’t a video that you guys want to put out, but it’s greatly appreciated. We are in for the rebuilding journey! Thank you for not folding when that could have easily been the road of least resistance…
My man lists off all the most amazing achievements in his career, all the impact he has made, the great attitude through this... yet says he isnt gifted or talented! What you do only shows the most amazing commitment and talent you all have!
Said in my own comment. I dont think the boys given themselves enough credit for what they do. Certainly very humble. I'd place money on them having saved at least one life through what they've done in the past. Thats before getting into all the inspiration through their videos and events.
@@Twicky388 you're caring enough to reply. If you don't care, why are you here? Or you just another hero trying to be the big man on the internet because no one takes your seriously in life?
Jeez Dave never knew you had cancer all these years. You really are an inspiration to a lot of people, and I hope you realise how much youve changed the drift scene.
The difference in this set back compared to the previous one is that you guys have 4 years more experience, 4 years more visibility and awareness, 4 years more fans, 4 years more friends within the niche and industry. You will build back, you will have the love and support of everyone you have provided joy and entertainment to with your content and events. Yes in the immediate aftermath it feels like a dark time, the light will shine again and it will shine brighter. I look forward to your guys bathing in that light in the near future.
I am gutted and literally was teary eyed watching the first video. I honestly didn’t want to watch this but know it’s one of the easiest way for me to support you guys. Like a phoenix I know you all will rise from the ashes!!
"We're not saving lives we're just building cars" I am 100% certain your content has saved at least one life. People don't realize how helpful and important they are 'til it's too late.
I had a shop fire about 15 years ago. Since I was in the US, I was covered completely. I lost race cars, parts, and everything else, but I was covered down to the last nut and bolt. I couldn't imagine being in Dave's situation.
Ya, their biggest mistake in this whole thing was staying in Ireland. Get the hell out of that place. Why stay somewhere that makes your jobs 100x harder???
@mjc8248 Ya, whatever insurance they had sounds like a waste of money. Get out of Ireland and go somewhere that actually respects what your business does and values it properly.
@@TheMiraldi you cant just move everyone to a different country since the company is basically built on thier friendship everyone has family and shit and how much it would cost to even move all those cars over sea's
You don't have to accept an Irish policy. You goto a Lloyd's and they will cover you. You just pay a premium for what you want cover for. My policy covers me to drive unregistered vehicles on the road. Police can stop you, but your insured. Mot or tax is civil not criminal.
I understand the pride, but bro, you have a dedicated community that loves you and appreciates all that you do for the community; please, please be open to all the help that approaches you. We all want to see you and lads come back, bigger, stronger, and better than you were before. We all love you and the other lads and we've got yalls backs.
I can already tell that this is start of something huge. I'd be so thankful to have a leader like you, so fucking strong. You went through cancer, went from 0 to drifting in arenas, started a multi-million pound company. Its fucking crazy. I'm here to stick and support you
@corpingtons yeah, in America maybe. But definitely not Scotland, Ireland or England.. England especially 😂 they will all take thousands from you, but when it comes to giving.. you're not gonna get 5% back of what you paid the insurance lmao
I've learned in the last 12 years since moving to Ireland... this is 100% the way the Irish are!! Absolute fighters and genuinely lovely people. They'll Complain about the weather and taxation (haha both are equally terrible), but life-altering situations and hurdles... you probably won't hear a peep outside, "ah sure... you know yourself." You guys have very much delivered on the genuineness and "We have the passion." That's why we watch! Keep doing what you're doing: building amazing cars, bringing motorsport to Ireland and the world, also making people laugh.
This is what we love about Drift Games, Your transparency, your vulnerability, your pride, your grit, your passion, and all of your teams drive to keep Drift Games alive and going. Much Love from PA in the U.S.
When i first found your videos, i wasnt in a great shape mentally. U Guys helped me a lot to feel like i was part of this journey, I Cried like a lil boy who doesnt get what he wants when i saw your First post Dave, about the Fire.....I feel pain and lot of loss when i saw your video bout disaster, We Love You Guys, We Dont want to see you fold everything, We are here and support you whatever our budget can accept. I dont have budget to build an car and send it to you or just donate you 100+ euros, but I can support you watching your videos, subscribe to your channel, like your videos, buy a merch. Im glad that i was part of this whole journey and im glad to be a part of the rising again
You said you don’t save lives but I can say in my worst moments of depression it was watching you guys and Adam Lz that got me through and made me realise that shit could be worse and that I can find a light at the end of the tunnel. You did save my life and I want to thank you for that.
I snagged some stuff when this happened. Just got my Merch 2 Months later. Thanks guys and hope the little I contributed helps a little! Keep it sideways guys!
Dave, for me the Drift Games brand and product isn't the cars you build or the events or even the videos. Drift Games is you guys. Your passion is obvious, your work ethic is unmatched, your devotion to all this is unquestionable and its infectious and makes me want to do car stuff. The entertainment is watching you guys be genuine. Don't give up the dream now or ever man. Love from Louisiana.
I can 💯 understand what you are saying. Lost my wife the beginning of 2020 and then covid took my businesses and I had to leave the dream home we built. I'm starting over now and it's so hard not to get frustrated but just stay patient.
Things can be replaced, lives can not. You guys did the right thing by not rushing in there to save the cars. I can only imagine how painful this has been for you. You guys have your lives and that's what's important.
Man... I've only just found out about this channel from these very tragic events, but I see and feel the love from the community. I read through the comments and feel the support raining in, I see the passion, I see the drive, I see the dedication. You guys really love what you do, YOUR COMMUNITY _really loves_ what you all do, and it shows. I wish you all the best of luck rebounding from this tragedy, and I hope that, as you rebuild the Drift Games HQ somewhere else, not that you're able to restore it to its former glory, but that you build it up bigger and better than ever before. I have faith in the determination and passion you all have for this craft, and I wish you all the best. The world really is a cruel bitch, sometimes. ❤
12:01 Linked to the mental health piece, I think you save lives in your own way. Your Games Changers series got me through some tough times during the pandemic. You've achieved the impossible in such a short amount of time. Keep fighting lads.
Me too, fuck that was a tough time but the lads building the cars and following along with the letters to try win the fanatek bundle was something to look forward to and escape reality for a while.. hope the lads are going to be ok.
Don't worry about being miserable, mate; I'm one of those new viewers, and what strikes me most about your content is your honesty. My family has been through similar with our business burning down, but absolutely nothing on the level of one-off and sentimental value stuff that you guys had. You will rebuild.
The reason that your getting that kindness is because what you guys have done and created over the years has brought so much joy into all our lives, so much passion and hope for our day to day lives, I cant bloody wait to see how you all rebuild because if any one can its you guys, best of luck guys we are all rooting for you!
for those thinking you should've had this or that or whatever, once the fire hit the first car, there was no system that could prevent this disaster, it did take 7 trucks to put it out, we are just thankful everyone is physically ok you will do this, we will all get through this rough time
Hi Dave and team, i met you at Christmas and been watching and even waiting to watch your videos. If i could send you my car for you to be better i would this is how much drift games helped me with mental health. I'm a mechanic and lived in ireland for 20 years and can understand what insurance and life in ireland as a car person is. Thinking of you and the team❤❤❤❤❤
Bro. I got the absolute honour of meeting you at the world tour in Canada. And amongst the hustle and bustle of everything your first words to me were “how are you enjoying the event and how can we improve”. Your shock to the legitimate family you’ve built world wide just by being yourself is astonishing. You guys are the first ones to rip your shirts off if anyone needs it and in this time of need. You should put the pride aside and let your FAM base repay the endless amount of fun. Love. And support that drift games has given us as a community for the last 8 years. Ik it’s incredibly difficult to do. But we as a collective have driftgames back with anything you guys could need
You guys will bounce back better than before, you have the heart, passion and souls. You should do a video in rememberance of the cars lost, showcase all your hard work one last time, then focus on the future
Mate, I can’t even imagine the heart ache you guys are going through. No amount of money can cover your pride and joy the hard work and the finished product. I feel for you guys hard hit. On and upward guys 👍
I just want to give Dave and the boys a hug. The spirit never felt more passionate within Dave Drift Games will come back, a phoenix rises from the ashes.
From Cancer to Covid to This, Idk how you guys find the zeal to rise out of the ashes but you all are truly inspiring. Seeing all the event passes and trophies and parts that had sentimental value gone truly was drowning. Never stop Drift Games, never stop. Although this is an absolute understatement of unjust, just remember, "It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life's story will develop."
Material stuff can be replaced lives cannot! Thank god no one lost there life! We send love and prayers to all those who have suffered from this tragedy!
You have the entire worldwide drifting community in your corner guys. We will not let you fall. You’ve done so much for drifting, it’s about time drifting got to pay it back. People who have never heard of Drift Games have Drift Games to thank for helping drifting thrive. You’ve done so much for us and it kills me to see your HQ and everything you’ve worked towards burn before your very eyes. You’ll be back. We won’t let you down ❤
Not just drifting, all car communities are here. We need to spread the word, people can at least subscribe and hit a like on each video they see, it’ll help
I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. It sounds like you poured your heart and soul into that space and those cars. While nothing can replace what you've lost, I'm so glad you and your team are safe. That's what truly matters. Looking forward to seeing you rebuild and come back even stronger.
I’m not a car guy lol, but my husband flies a drone at drifting events (following/filming the drift cars), so I’ve spent quite a bit of time around people like you- car guys. I hate that this happened to yall. I think that it’s great that you are going to keep moving! This doesn’t mean it’s not meant to be; it just means that this is now a part of your story. There is so much heart and soul put into this and you WILL rebuild. ❤
Thanks for the vulnerability here, Dave. Content typically just shows the highlight reel for any given person and understandably so, but your realness during an unimaginably hard time is going to help more people than you know. Long live Drift Games, and here’s to the ultimate comeback! Cheers from Seattle
Dave, you pretty much put into words what it is to be a car enthusiast. The struggle, late nights, finding time around work, problems, home, ect. All to put your creativity and passion into a project and build something amazing. Even though everything's physically gone, the community you built is firmly here. Drift Games is what brought everyone together here in Ireland and worldwide. Really happy to see you're keeping it going, and fair play to everyone offering support 👊
Dave and the team, you guys have done so much good for the drift community, please don’t feel like you don’t deserve a helping hand. People want to see you do more good for the community, please let them help you. All the best
I'm just glad no one was hurt, not one of yours or a firefighter. I'm hyped for what's to come, I know you're going to make it again. Best of Luck to You and the Crew.
I think it's fair to say that the goodwill you guys have earned in the community is insane. You guys are genuine hard workers and the support shown by everyone across the world is one of the many fruits of your labor of love towards drifting. To be honest, take the offer from Kato at LBWK. Show off that car and put a special livery on it. I am sure that the Murcielago would wear it with pride. You guys are the greatest example of what the car community can be, so after all these years the community yearns to pay this back and help in anyway it can.
I'm a fairly new watcher, but I know that you will grow stronger. I'm sure that all of us, your viewers will support and stand by your channel for as long as it takes the inner Drift Games Phoenix will rise again. Stay strong, we are behind you all the way.
It’s been a sad week to be a car enthusiast but seeing everyone’s generosity makes me very proud to be a car enthusiast. From the outside it must look like a materialistic hobby. But it’s all about sharing experiences with silly toys.
Just hearing the passion in your voice how you explain whats going on through all this hardship is the soul behind drift games that people will keep coming back and support you guys
Dave, you spoke of striking a cord. You have no idea what impact you as Drift Games has made on the drift community, and as you said at the end of the video here, the amount of support you have from all the sponsors and so on, it is out of this world. That should show you, the impact you have made on the community as a whole. Everybody knows that DRIFT GAMES will come out stronger, and will keep on influencing the community for a long time coming. From my team, Grounded Nation Automotive, in South Africa, we wish you all the best ahead and, and may you keep up with the amazing content, shows and events that you do, and i personally living here in Ireland, cannot wait to be at JapFest! Wishing you all the best, and always keep going! #DriftGamesForever!
I love that your sponsers have all offered more support. 💛. I know as a stubborn male myself that everything i achieve i want it to be on my own merit but its great to see that the car community is still live and kicking and i hope you manage to accept as much of the help as possible to rebuild and more importantly create even better memories of the process. Sending love from Bonnie Scotland 🏴 where car insurance is slightly better 🫣😘
As someone who personally has suffered from losing everything in a house fire, its heartbreaking to see all that you guys lost. Hope you can rebuild quickly and can keep doing what you all love.
This wasn’t your fault. Don’t be to proud to let the community you helped so much help you! I think I speak for everyone when I say we want you back bigger and better than ever. Keep your heads up guys.
@@stuwest3653 no one is trying to burn down their life’s work mate. The fire also started in another workshop. Over everything mental health especially in men isn’t talked about often and if if I was in the same position I’d hope the good would come out in people not unnecessary hate and speculation
The roof collapsed on our 8 bay auto repair shop in September and insurance has refused to cover it. We’re working out of an RV and two rented bays 4 miles down the street. I now only see my family on the weekend until we can find a new location. When you said “is this something we’re just not meant to have no matter how hard we work for it” that hit very close to home. Seeing everything I poured the last 14 years of my life evaporate over something that we didn’t even do is the worst feeling I’ve experienced in as long as I can remember. I’m sorry for what you guys are going through. To accomplish what you have already must mean you guys are serious fighters. You can do it!
The Phoenix rises from the ashes! We all as a community love what you do, and we know that this is going to be a long road. Keep grinding. The support of the community is behind you!
If anyone ever questions the goodness of the car community and how much we stick together they need to not question that anymore. More of a big extended family. You guys will rebuild bigger than ever. ❤
It honestly hurts to see all the cars and the office along with the memories be taken away from you (and us). I hope that we can build the place up again, together. If you need anything let us know.
My mother always said to me that when you hit rock bottom, there's only one place you can go from there, and that is up 🤞🏼 God will bring you guys more he will make your cups over flow
You Guys Have My Support Always, You Just Have To Keep Your Head Down And Deal With All Of This, Until Its Done. You Got Good Vibes Coming From Me Guys, You WILL Recover!!! 💯💪🏽💯
Sorry for this event that happened to you and your guys..... but as in life, we get knocked down ...... but damn right we get up stronger .... nothing but good vibes and keep it going
Please rewatch all of their videos so they can get some more RUclips money. They are an inspiration to me and a lot of you I can’t afford to buy merchandise but I can let the RUclips channel continuously play
@@turtlecanttreflip8205 They have a digital poster on their website basically a straight donation. That way no money goes to gofundme or others. It's directly to them. If you are wanting to donate go to that.
@@turtlecanttreflip8205there's a digital poster on the website you can pay what you like for it. Every little bit helps and I'm sure they would appreciate whatever you have to give.
people are giving back to you for all youve done for us over the years. from what youve done not only for irish drifting but for the world of drifting. The entire world of drifting and automotives have your back, no matter what this community will help you rebuild. i know it can never replace whats lost but it can fully restart a world of new hope and new memories
I love cars myself so when I heard about this, I was in tears. Good to hear that Drift Games is going to be operating in the future, because I will be watching to journey. You can come back!
I don't think any of us care how professional your videos look, we'll watch anything you guys put out because we love you. In fact, the first Drift Games video I ever watched included a clip of Dave grinding the front bumper of his 180sx into the ground on the return to the pits in mondello. Did he look professional? Hell no. He seemed like a bit of an eejit, but a very very likable person so I stuck around and have loved every single moment.
RUclips recommending the fire video has brought me to this channel. YOU will rebuild just watching this video after that one I know you will rebuild. You will rebuild stronger better than before. I’ve never bought you’ve merch but I’ll buy a shirt you all deserve the support!!!
Drift Games will come back stronger and better than ever! It may took years but I believe in you guys the same way I believe in Prizza Mike. Never give up! 💪
Goodwill of the car community is about to shine brighter than it ever has,and hopefully it all shines on you lads. One foot on front of the other lads you'll come back better than ever ❤
The thing car guys get really good at is going "Yeah, that's füxx0red. Let's rebuild." Seeing that attitude shine through on all of you is really inspiring. I've been through a lot, too, but you take enduring and rising to a whole new level. Thank you.
Very sorry guys what happen too your place of business!It was easy too see so much blood,sweat and tears went into your car builds.I hope as business you all can bounce back from this!Luv from Australia 🇦🇺
I only spent a few days in Ireland, but the camaraderie and passion I saw from you guys especially is unlike anything else. You'll be back even stronger. 💪
I love you’re vids and you’re channel and I know they’ll come back stronger aswell
hard to remind but wish there were no such bad happenings... first thing that i remember after saw it was your story!!!
As always Alexi. A genuine gentleman.

Just something to think about! Let us the fans sponsor Josh for the IDC. I have friends in other pro racing and they did this and it was a great way to let those who don't have the big $$ be a part of the journey. Just have donors name put on the car. The small amounts will add up. Let us ride with Josh!! Keep doing what you love!
Sammit did this and it was a great idea!
I saw this anime.
Great idea, sounds a bit like the way raceteam Holland went to Le Mans at some point

Cars are inanimate objects, just a collection of metal and plastic, but to true car people, they are so much more. Really sorry for your loss.
Being an object doesn't mean having no value tho. I would definitely run back into my flaming house to save some of my possessions if it was me. I have sentimental attachments to a lot of things I own, gifts from people I love, stuff I saved up to buy, old stuff I had for so long and so on

It's not sympathy Dave, it's genuine love and admiration. You guys have built a community, so many people from all walks of life and the world flock to your content, you're real, relatable, dedicated and absolutely amazing to watch. Me and my OH watch both you and Jimmy Oakes content religiously, please don't let your pride knock back the love of your community, you all deserve it.
Hi Dave we only properly met on that terrible night. I was one of the two people who was present when the fire started. For anyone who thinks that it could have been any different it could have only been worse. The mechanic who desperately tried extinguish the fire was within seconds of being overcome by incredibly toxic fumes. If he had hesitated a moment longer he would not be with us today. The fire alarm sounded at 20:46 by 20:55 a ball of flames was covering the workshop roof and the offices. The fire brigade arrived at 21:00 and worked tirelessly to save what they could. The firefighters themselves were petrolheads too. They were so determined to save what they could. It meant something to them, the fire was just too big. Nobody could have done more. It’s tragic for all involved.
Personally I’ve nothing but great admiration by your own leadership and determination to carry on. I’ve no doubt you and your team have what it takes to come back from this.
When you’re going through hell, keep going.
Wow that's an incredible response time by the firefighters!

By the sounds of it someone who survived and thrived through cancer and a possible career/business ending pandemic, has superhero qualities. So I can’t imagine this doing anything but building up your legacy and your already incredible resilience.
Sorry for yalls tragedy, I’ve watch yall videos forever and loved everything you did. Yall helped my passion in cars grow. Will be praying for yall, hope you guys recover from this.🙏
Its sad to see these beautifull machines go away😢
@@Twicky388 Not funny
Especially when you worked on most of the cars to improve it...but a garage can be a very dangerous place...my cousin have a garage who burned once because of welding we believe because they weld something the morning and the fire started at 2pm and they lived the garage 10am...it took 4 hours to burn we saw it on the cameras...something similar happened to a French youtuber called "la boiserie" they weld something on a BMW the morning and few hours later the car was on fire...shit happen
@@loganleborgne420that’s why whenever I weld I put everything away right after and give everything 1h at least to settle before I leave the shop. Always a worry in the back of my mind.

If you boys want to come film in Hungary I can organize a place to stay, drifters to meet, car businesses to meet, the whole nine yards! I'd be happy to do so.
Bump, Hungarian drift scene is something I haven't seen before, would be cool to see!
Use that excuse of Ireland not providing the correct legislation and insurance options. It’s 2024 and many countries have ways of insuring niche, sue the government…(I know how impossible that is and we the people never win. )
The last thing they want to do to go that scrap country
When Dave said “To just stand back and look at what we had achieved, from a bunch a misfits that were car enthusiasts. It’s important also to remember that, we’re not the best drifters, we’re definitely not the best mechanics, we’re not the most animated of RUclipsrs, We’re just kind of ordinary guys that love cars” that shit just hit the feels man 😢
this feels like it can rebuild into something even better. time works in funky ways sometimes
It's videos like this that shows the like button is not enough to show our support for the creators. Thoughts and best wishes to you all. ❤
Like I said after the “disaster video” I’m a 53 year old man and I didn’t mind admitting that I cried watching everything you had burn to the ground but, on a brighter note, I firmly believe, that Drift Games will rebuild and be bigger and better than ever before. Yes it will off course take time but I no doubt, whatsoever, that you will all make this happen and your positivity, your determination and your mindset will win the day.
You have been and will continue to be an inspiration to many, many young ones who love cars.
You have a unique, niche business here in Ireland and the next chapter in the Drift games story is one not to be missed!! ❤️
Me too
47 and same. Last video and this video. Gladly bought myself and my son a shirt and willing to do more.
depends what insurance pays out

I also shed some tears… heartbreaking 💔
RUclips commented on the previous video, RUclips should now push these guys channel for them, put it on every car enthusiasts recommendations and let them build the channel, more the channel builds the quicker the build back no doubt

It was under my recomended videos so i think youtube is doing that rn. And im a car enthusiast
mine too I'm a motorsport/car enthusiast.
@@b.deonchris i am not a car enthusiast, or at least used to be one, and i got this on reccommendeds page
@@clyded_thysilly Same here.
I’m not a drift guy but I am a car guy and I respect the passion you guys put into the cars and that amazing garage. I also spent 10 years as a firefighter/paramedic in the US which is probably why youtube recommended that particular video to me. I’m glad no one was hurt but the loss you’ve suffered is huge. I’m glad you’re giving yourself some time to grieve it. This cartoon canine Heeler from Australia once said: have a little cry, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep going. Sounds like you’re no stranger to doing that and you’ve already got a plan. You’ve earned a sub from me to watch Drift Games rise like a Phoenix and I plan to order some merch here soon to help make that happen.
If you're new here check out some of their other videos, they have a really unique take on the automotive world because they organize and run events more than they build cars. A lot of their videos are focused around the behind the scenes stuff of what goes into putting on these shows and competitions. Check out their DMEC finals videos from a while back, they built a racetrack inside a soccer stadium in Poland, put on a massive competition for 55k people, and tore it all down in 4 days. Their cars are super cool but it's their passion as car people that really makes them top tier.
@@Joebobinator I love BTS looks at other industries like this. So I’m excited to see how the company is rebuilt from this but to also see where they came from as I go back through the catalog. They seem like a cool group of regular car dudes doing amazing stuff.
@@joelankeny6277 I think you'll like it!
I hadn't heard of you guys until this morning, when RUclips randomly suggested the fire video to me. My husband lost almost everything he owned in a house fire a couple years before we met, and he lost so many collector items that can't easily be replaced, nor would insurance really cover all of them (guns, rookie cards, family items, etc.). It's jaded him against collecting stuff now; it's rare that he finds something he wants to keep for posterity because he's so scared of it happening again, even ~15 years later. Sometimes all we can do is rise above the ashes like the phoenix and carry on stronger than before.
The amount of help offered, the numerous comments, messages, and visits from individuals you personally know, and even more people that you will probably never meet. The people (sponsors), that have reached out and aren’t walking away from you guys. It all speaks tremendous volumes to what the whole team means to everyone. The updates are appreciated, and we can see that it isn’t a video that you guys want to put out, but it’s greatly appreciated. We are in for the rebuilding journey! Thank you for not folding when that could have easily been the road of least resistance…
My man lists off all the most amazing achievements in his career, all the impact he has made, the great attitude through this... yet says he isnt gifted or talented! What you do only shows the most amazing commitment and talent you all have!
Said in my own comment. I dont think the boys given themselves enough credit for what they do. Certainly very humble. I'd place money on them having saved at least one life through what they've done in the past. Thats before getting into all the inspiration through their videos and events.
@@Twicky388 you're caring enough to reply. If you don't care, why are you here? Or you just another hero trying to be the big man on the internet because no one takes your seriously in life?

Jeez Dave never knew you had cancer all these years. You really are an inspiration to a lot of people, and I hope you realise how much youve changed the drift scene.
The difference in this set back compared to the previous one is that you guys have 4 years more experience, 4 years more visibility and awareness, 4 years more fans, 4 years more friends within the niche and industry. You will build back, you will have the love and support of everyone you have provided joy and entertainment to with your content and events. Yes in the immediate aftermath it feels like a dark time, the light will shine again and it will shine brighter. I look forward to your guys bathing in that light in the near future.
Well said 👏
I am gutted and literally was teary eyed watching the first video. I honestly didn’t want to watch this but know it’s one of the easiest way for me to support you guys. Like a phoenix I know you all will rise from the ashes!!
"We're not saving lives we're just building cars" I am 100% certain your content has saved at least one life. People don't realize how helpful and important they are 'til it's too late.

Irish insurance market is so fucking backwards. My heart breaks that all those beautiful machines are gone.
I had a shop fire about 15 years ago. Since I was in the US, I was covered completely. I lost race cars, parts, and everything else, but I was covered down to the last nut and bolt. I couldn't imagine being in Dave's situation.
Ya, their biggest mistake in this whole thing was staying in Ireland. Get the hell out of that place. Why stay somewhere that makes your jobs 100x harder???
@mjc8248 Ya, whatever insurance they had sounds like a waste of money. Get out of Ireland and go somewhere that actually respects what your business does and values it properly.
@@TheMiraldi you cant just move everyone to a different country since the company is basically built on thier friendship
everyone has family and shit and how much it would cost to even move all those cars over sea's
You don't have to accept an Irish policy. You goto a Lloyd's and they will cover you. You just pay a premium for what you want cover for.
My policy covers me to drive unregistered vehicles on the road. Police can stop you, but your insured. Mot or tax is civil not criminal.
I understand the pride, but bro, you have a dedicated community that loves you and appreciates all that you do for the community; please, please be open to all the help that approaches you. We all want to see you and lads come back, bigger, stronger, and better than you were before. We all love you and the other lads and we've got yalls backs.

@@rafael09xzDude has to put himself and his friends and family first, which is more important than the community they built
I can already tell that this is start of something huge. I'd be so thankful to have a leader like you, so fucking strong. You went through cancer, went from 0 to drifting in arenas, started a multi-million pound company. Its fucking crazy. I'm here to stick and support you

It’s crazy that people think insurance would cover what it is
@corpingtons yeah, in America maybe. But definitely not Scotland, Ireland or England.. England especially 😂 they will all take thousands from you, but when it comes to giving.. you're not gonna get 5% back of what you paid the insurance lmao
Words can't express how thankful we all are for Drift Games. Time to go buy merch 🙏
I've learned in the last 12 years since moving to Ireland... this is 100% the way the Irish are!! Absolute fighters and genuinely lovely people.
They'll Complain about the weather and taxation (haha both are equally terrible), but life-altering situations and hurdles... you probably won't hear a peep outside, "ah sure... you know yourself."
You guys have very much delivered on the genuineness and "We have the passion." That's why we watch! Keep doing what you're doing: building amazing cars, bringing motorsport to Ireland and the world, also making people laugh.
This is what we love about Drift Games, Your transparency, your vulnerability, your pride, your grit, your passion, and all of your teams drive to keep Drift Games alive and going. Much Love from PA in the U.S.
When i first found your videos, i wasnt in a great shape mentally. U Guys helped me a lot to feel like i was part of this journey, I Cried like a lil boy who doesnt get what he wants when i saw your First post Dave, about the Fire.....I feel pain and lot of loss when i saw your video bout disaster, We Love You Guys, We Dont want to see you fold everything, We are here and support you whatever our budget can accept. I dont have budget to build an car and send it to you or just donate you 100+ euros, but I can support you watching your videos, subscribe to your channel, like your videos, buy a merch. Im glad that i was part of this whole journey and im glad to be a part of the rising again
You said you don’t save lives but I can say in my worst moments of depression it was watching you guys and Adam Lz that got me through and made me realise that shit could be worse and that I can find a light at the end of the tunnel. You did save my life and I want to thank you for that.
I snagged some stuff when this happened. Just got my Merch 2 Months later. Thanks guys and hope the little I contributed helps a little! Keep it sideways guys!
Dave, for me the Drift Games brand and product isn't the cars you build or the events or even the videos. Drift Games is you guys. Your passion is obvious, your work ethic is unmatched, your devotion to all this is unquestionable and its infectious and makes me want to do car stuff. The entertainment is watching you guys be genuine. Don't give up the dream now or ever man. Love from Louisiana.
NAH
I can 💯 understand what you are saying. Lost my wife the beginning of 2020 and then covid took my businesses and I had to leave the dream home we built. I'm starting over now and it's so hard not to get frustrated but just stay patient.
Stay strong and keep going :)
My thoughts go out to you, so sorry to hear about your losses. Keep the head down and keep going, it will get better again 🙌
Proud of you dude🤘🏻
You'll bounce back and we'll still be here. No matter what ❤
Things can be replaced, lives can not. You guys did the right thing by not rushing in there to save the cars. I can only imagine how painful this has been for you. You guys have your lives and that's what's important.
Man... I've only just found out about this channel from these very tragic events, but I see and feel the love from the community. I read through the comments and feel the support raining in, I see the passion, I see the drive, I see the dedication. You guys really love what you do, YOUR COMMUNITY _really loves_ what you all do, and it shows.
I wish you all the best of luck rebounding from this tragedy, and I hope that, as you rebuild the Drift Games HQ somewhere else, not that you're able to restore it to its former glory, but that you build it up bigger and better than ever before. I have faith in the determination and passion you all have for this craft, and I wish you all the best.
The world really is a cruel bitch, sometimes. ❤
12:01 Linked to the mental health piece, I think you save lives in your own way.
Your Games Changers series got me through some tough times during the pandemic.
You've achieved the impossible in such a short amount of time. Keep fighting lads.
It really did. Was one of the few channels I looked forward to each week for new videos.
Me too, fuck that was a tough time but the lads building the cars and following along with the letters to try win the fanatek bundle was something to look forward to and escape reality for a while.. hope the lads are going to be ok.

Not miserable and fun...real. This is what I believe I appreciate the most about this video. It reflects real life, not the "glitz and glamour".

Don't worry about being miserable, mate; I'm one of those new viewers, and what strikes me most about your content is your honesty. My family has been through similar with our business burning down, but absolutely nothing on the level of one-off and sentimental value stuff that you guys had. You will rebuild.
I DID UR MOM

The reason that your getting that kindness is because what you guys have done and created over the years has brought so much joy into all our lives, so much passion and hope for our day to day lives, I cant bloody wait to see how you all rebuild because if any one can its you guys, best of luck guys we are all rooting for you!
for those thinking you should've had this or that or whatever, once the fire hit the first car, there was no system that could prevent this disaster, it did take 7 trucks to put it out, we are just thankful everyone is physically ok
you will do this, we will all get through this rough time
I cried like the loss was my own. It was really sad to see so many jewels, so much work, just gone...
Hi Dave and team, i met you at Christmas and been watching and even waiting to watch your videos. If i could send you my car for you to be better i would this is how much drift games helped me with mental health. I'm a mechanic and lived in ireland for 20 years and can understand what insurance and life in ireland as a car person is. Thinking of you and the team❤❤❤❤❤
@@Twicky388shut up ye spanner
Bro. I got the absolute honour of meeting you at the world tour in Canada. And amongst the hustle and bustle of everything your first words to me were “how are you enjoying the event and how can we improve”. Your shock to the legitimate family you’ve built world wide just by being yourself is astonishing. You guys are the first ones to rip your shirts off if anyone needs it and in this time of need. You should put the pride aside and let your FAM base repay the endless amount of fun. Love. And support that drift games has given us as a community for the last 8 years. Ik it’s incredibly difficult to do. But we as a collective have driftgames back with anything you guys could need
You guys will bounce back better than before, you have the heart, passion and souls. You should do a video in rememberance of the cars lost, showcase all your hard work one last time, then focus on the future
Mate, I can’t even imagine the heart ache you guys are going through. No amount of money can cover your pride and joy the hard work and the finished product. I feel for you guys hard hit. On and upward guys 👍
Making grown men cry with compassion and pure sorrow on your behalf. Good luck on your road ahead.
I really liked your shop build, it was brilliant, unique and well executed, must be heartbreaking.
No shit

I love when the car community comes together and I'm so glad you're still going forward. Watching this space
I'll be here to support every single Journey along the way towards the rebuilding process if one ever comes
I just want to give Dave and the boys a hug. The spirit never felt more passionate within Dave Drift Games will come back, a phoenix rises from the ashes.
From Cancer to Covid to This, Idk how you guys find the zeal to rise out of the ashes but you all are truly inspiring. Seeing all the event passes and trophies and parts that had sentimental value gone truly was drowning. Never stop Drift Games, never stop. Although this is an absolute understatement of unjust, just remember, "It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life's story will develop."

Material stuff can be replaced lives cannot! Thank god no one lost there life! We send love and prayers to all those who have suffered from this tragedy!
You have the entire worldwide drifting community in your corner guys. We will not let you fall. You’ve done so much for drifting, it’s about time drifting got to pay it back. People who have never heard of Drift Games have Drift Games to thank for helping drifting thrive. You’ve done so much for us and it kills me to see your HQ and everything you’ve worked towards burn before your very eyes. You’ll be back. We won’t let you down ❤
Not just drifting, all car communities are here. We need to spread the word, people can at least subscribe and hit a like on each video they see, it’ll help
I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. It sounds like you poured your heart and soul into that space and those cars. While nothing can replace what you've lost, I'm so glad you and your team are safe. That's what truly matters. Looking forward to seeing you rebuild and come back even stronger.
I’m not a car guy lol, but my husband flies a drone at drifting events (following/filming the drift cars), so I’ve spent quite a bit of time around people like you- car guys. I hate that this happened to yall. I think that it’s great that you are going to keep moving! This doesn’t mean it’s not meant to be; it just means that this is now a part of your story. There is so much heart and soul put into this and you WILL rebuild. ❤
Thanks for the vulnerability here, Dave. Content typically just shows the highlight reel for any given person and understandably so, but your realness during an unimaginably hard time is going to help more people than you know. Long live Drift Games, and here’s to the ultimate comeback! Cheers from Seattle
Dave, you pretty much put into words what it is to be a car enthusiast. The struggle, late nights, finding time around work, problems, home, ect. All to put your creativity and passion into a project and build something amazing. Even though everything's physically gone, the community you built is firmly here. Drift Games is what brought everyone together here in Ireland and worldwide. Really happy to see you're keeping it going, and fair play to everyone offering support 👊
You are a strong man, Dave. Not breaking a tear through these videos. Keep doing you, and keep doing Drift Games. We will be here ❤️
Dave and the team, you guys have done so much good for the drift community, please don’t feel like you don’t deserve a helping hand. People want to see you do more good for the community, please let them help you.
All the best
I'm just glad no one was hurt, not one of yours or a firefighter.
I'm hyped for what's to come, I know you're going to make it again.
Best of Luck to You and the Crew.
I think it's fair to say that the goodwill you guys have earned in the community is insane. You guys are genuine hard workers and the support shown by everyone across the world is one of the many fruits of your labor of love towards drifting.
To be honest, take the offer from Kato at LBWK. Show off that car and put a special livery on it. I am sure that the Murcielago would wear it with pride.
You guys are the greatest example of what the car community can be, so after all these years the community yearns to pay this back and help in anyway it can.
I'm a fairly new watcher, but I know that you will grow stronger. I'm sure that all of us, your viewers will support and stand by your channel for as long as it takes the inner Drift Games Phoenix will rise again. Stay strong, we are behind you all the way.
It’s been a sad week to be a car enthusiast but seeing everyone’s generosity makes me very proud to be a car enthusiast.
From the outside it must look like a materialistic hobby. But it’s all about sharing experiences with silly toys.
CRY L BOZO
Just hearing the passion in your voice how you explain whats going on through all this hardship is the soul behind drift games that people will keep coming back and support you guys
You guys are much more than "ordinary" - Absolutely love what you guys do.
Dave, you spoke of striking a cord.
You have no idea what impact you as Drift Games has made on the drift community, and as you said at the end of the video here, the amount of support you have from all the sponsors and so on, it is out of this world. That should show you, the impact you have made on the community as a whole.
Everybody knows that DRIFT GAMES will come out stronger, and will keep on influencing the community for a long time coming.
From my team, Grounded Nation Automotive, in South Africa, we wish you all the best ahead and, and may you keep up with the amazing content, shows and events that you do, and i personally living here in Ireland, cannot wait to be at JapFest! Wishing you all the best, and always keep going! #DriftGamesForever!

Seeing everything I poured the last 14 years of my life evaporate over something that we didn’t even do is the worst feeling I’ve experienced in as long as I can remember.

I don't think any of us care how professional your videos look, we'll watch anything you guys put out because we love you. In fact, the first Drift Games video I ever watched included a clip of Dave grinding the front bumper of his 180sx into the ground on the return to the pits in mondello. Did he look professional? Hell no. He seemed like a bit of an eejit, but a very very likable person so I stuck around and have loved every single moment.
