It's great that Damon and Dave don't have an ego around Mike's driving, they're just looking to learn that particular car with Mike's help. Each DDE team member brings their own area of expertise, which is awesome.
Mike is so quiet and humble around the shop. You forget that he’s an actual racecar driver. Put the man on the track and he’s a fucking beast. Fantastic episode.!!
You can definitely tell that Mike is not just a drifter. He has some serious talent behind the wheel. And just as much talent or even more while he's building them.
The content has become better by tenfold easily since having Mike join the channel. Think in time it will be looked back at one of the major stepping stones for DDE in the positive direction. Keep up the work fellas💪
It's kinda crazy how DDE and Mike Essa just completely killed the collaboration game, Mike is seriously underrated and I can't wait for him to build up this race program. Super sick content guys!
I agree they need practice and a lot of us probably want to see more track stuff ...but id love to see a race car vs their entire fleet series 😮 that would be cool
Mike Essa is pure-gold for the channel -- treat him very well -- his technical and driving skills add another dimension to the channel. You took the channel to another level when you hired him.
I have to admit, Adding Essa to the team is the best thing that has ever happened on this channel for now! U get to have more content that u couldn't provide before!
Having mike with you guys is the best. His love for working and driving race cars still there. That just made the content way better. I can’t wait to see what else you guys all do together. I would like to see mike race Dave or Damon.
Mike Essa was slaying everyone on the track! That was really cool. Those two cars was the best I've seen on that track. That's a whole lotta fun. Remember whenever you drive without the alternator, you're running on battery. So you did the right that Alex got your backs. The 550 will be right all over again.. glad everyone is safe.
This is probably the best episode in a long time. I was grinning from ear to ear watching this amazing experience. I don't have the superlatives necessary to describe how awesome this episode was/is. 100% PURE EXCITEMENT AND FUN.
Damon is already a hell of a driver but with having Mike there to teach him how to drive a real race car is only gonna make him so much more of a beast. Awesome cars and amazing video. Thx DDE. ❤
Mike is a beast. And I think this is the best crew DDE has had on the channel by far. Mike is great at what he does it's his passion and his Mad Skills is top-shelf you guys rock Man💪🏼💪🏼♥️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎👊🏼💨💥🤙🏼🤙🏼
Honestly, Mike is an excellent choice to join your team - comes across as an expert in everything motorsport and gels great with the team. Loved seeing the cars put to real use, please bring more and go Nurburgring in the monster!
Makes me so happy for Mike to see you guys give him the love an respect that he deserves an letting him show you guys how you're suppose to drive the evo2 an show you the limits of it
i never usually comment bit i got to say that this is hands down the best DDE video i've ever seen even though i'm a long time subscriber , adding Mike to the team was the best choice ever , and seeing him in his elemant ripping that EVO 2 racecar while still humble arround you guy was truely amazing .this is the type of content everyone enjoys and loves for a reason .Keep up the hard work guys✌
Humbled by the most humble guy on the Tube. Mike has brought class to the channel. Well done, you've created a good dynamic by solid people and culture choices.
Can confirm the best way to be humbled at the track is to do laps, then have an instructor show you the true potential. Humbling and yet lights a passion and fire to push a little harder each time.
There might be the problem that there is a spot between driving slow and driving fast that is impossible to get past slowly. You start to go faster and at some point you are carrying more speed but not enough to get the tires fully up to temp and/or get the aero working. The reason that they want you to work up from slower cars/carting.
Bro !!!! WHAT A RUSH!!! Watching it , let alone being inside that vehicle is a rush!!! Wow!!! Makes you want to work harder just to get one!!! Props boyz!!!
I don't comment often on RUclips. But this was to cool an episode. Mike is an awesome addition, and his skills on and off the track are really amazing. The 550 and all the other builds over the last few months are amazing to see. Keep those builds, and content with Mike coming, and I really hope to see the Murcielago come back to life in the future guys!
Need to see more track days. That Evo 2 is just beautiful. One of the best cars y’all ever added to the channel. Can’t wait to see more memories with it!
I love living this experience with you guys, I could cry looking at how amazing the race car is and how some day I'll be able to witness this first hand.
That was a great watch, especially with the ride a long. This was something a little different from normal, and I enjoyed it and now want more. Nice to see Damon pushing himself.
Watching Dave and Damons reactions of utter visceral fear of the EVO lambo beast is visual Gold!! I only wish camera bro and Mikes sidekick got a spin too to see their genuine reactions as it's always fascinating... Shame those damn coilpack connectors failed, it's a common flaw on plastic connectors that are exposed to heat. I'd replace them all with fresh products and make sure no other critical sensors or electrical components are requiring maintenance. I wouldn't wanna know what repairing that engine costs... 50k? I'd do fluids too to make sure the effort of a track day operation doesn't go to waste. Same on the 550, full maintenance service kit for it, don't mess about with race cars, the consequence of ignoring maintenance and replacement of wear components can be devastating. Kind regards from an ex-motorsport engineer. Thanks for the video, really loved seeing you guys enjoy the experience!!
Seemed like an amazing track day, car sounds amazing as well! I know y’all had fun and it was a well deserved experience for all of you for the amount of time and money you put towards building the channel with the cars. Amazing video!
That was awesome. Mike can surely wheel a car. It was cool seeing the look and reaction Daman had with Mike driving. I'd love to be able to go for a ride with Mike around Willow. Hope nothing major is wrong with the Ferrari.
I ve told you recently that the F550 looks like OEM. It not only looks like ferrari should have done it, but looks so fresh and modern, like its the generation between the 360 and the f430! Also feels like this is the pinacle of the channel with all these amazing cars and work done to them. really great job u guys! Also Mike must stay indefinitely to the channel and be more integrated to it
I was waiting for this when I watched the stories channel I was like what the heck dude marks editing was awesome and I hope he got his dream car hope you enjoyed yourself with the 550 and the Evo Mike was ready for you waiting to pounce great fun was had dudes I'm enjoying the race content keep up the good work
Mike is knowledgeable and a genuine good guy. You should treat him well. Finally seeing you guys do real car stuff makes me want to forgive for that bought not built shit from the past. Mike knows what I'm sayin'.
They already have the best from Lamborghini they have 2 Aventadors from which 1 is an SVJ , 2 Murcielagos LP640 ,3 Huracans . Can`t get better than that . Revuelto it`s ugly and less of a car than an Aventador
@@Tuck31r what makes it less of a car? It’s still a naturally aspirated V12 that revs to 9500rpm. It has electric motors to make it even quicker and the V12 finally has a dual clutch transmission which is what everyone complains about the aventadors in the first place.
@@JASONH01 16years on RUclips then u should know that their income came from total views of all their vids collection not per video view plus sponsorship deals n base on social blade statistic data this month their RUclips view have increased by 50% compare to last month..they’re on right path
Loved seeing Damon as a passenger 😆 seeing you scaring the crap out of passenger in the 720 GTR, to seeing you tapping out in the Lambo racecar 🤣🤣 hilarious
I was lost for words the first time I watched this, so I didn't comment. Seeing Mike at the wheel was truly magnificent. Damon's reaction to the speed comparison was beyond words. Nothing short of spectacular.
WOW!! One of my favorite episode of all time. I love that car, the look, the sound, Mike behind the wheel, all amazing. Also credit to Damon for learning new driving skills and Dave never fails to make you laugh. Complete package. Thank you!!!!
Mike is all walk, no talk! From his fab work to his driving skills, he’s a modern day renaissance man! This chapter in the DDE saga is going to be epic!
one of the best DDE episodes that for sure....Mike is a full blown Racer.. always a pleasure to see Race car pushed to the limit by a race car driver...
One of the BEST decisions you guys ever made was linking up with Mike Essa and bringing him into the DDE fam - such a open and honest guy who brings his charm and natural magnetism to the channel - well done! This is gong to really help you all grow and reach new heights! 🙂 Keep up the great work
I've never smiled this much in a DDE video I'm just happy that there's someone on the channel now that can work and build cars and drives the cars and drives it properly
Amazing video guys well done. The Huracan Evo is next level. I could totally feel the intensity for Dave and Mike through the in cabin bounce and engine sound.
Loved watching Mike Hammer Down on the track! What a great addition he is to the team. Keep letting him get behind the wheel of DDE hardware - so much fun to watch!
I like how when Mike shows Dave and Damon the real potential of the car they both look like they just saw a ghost. That thing is a beast
Mike just rips the GT3 car… iconic.
Having so much money and not realizing it's a real GT3 racecar haha
BRO Mike is a GIGACHAD literally brings so much knowledge and skills into DDE
It's great that Damon and Dave don't have an ego around Mike's driving, they're just looking to learn that particular car with Mike's help. Each DDE team member brings their own area of expertise, which is awesome.
this is equivalent to having sex for the 1st time with a virgin then the next day getting the chance to go at it with a porn star
Mike is so quiet and humble around the shop. You forget that he’s an actual racecar driver. Put the man on the track and he’s a fucking beast. Fantastic episode.!!
Watching Mike drive on the track was honestly amazing and entertaining asf he was killing it.
We need more track content for sure
facts
He CAN drive it the way it’s ment to be driven for shure
Yeah lol, appears to be a bit more than just a top mechanic!!🙂
He is a perfect addition to this channel. He puts DDE over the top!
Mike is so humble. Classy guy. Great addition to the team. Dave and Damon I am very happy for you both. Well done.
Nothing but facts
Nothing but facts
The car sounds amazing. Mike driving skills on the track are phenomenal. But Damon and Dave’s reaction as passengers was priceless.
You can definitely tell that Mike is not just a drifter. He has some serious talent behind the wheel. And just as much talent or even more while he's building them.
I have to respect that he has enough knowledge to push the EVO to that extent. He knows where the limits lie.
@@DuvJones the sun he has at his house actually helps too and that’s not his first time at the track
The evo 2 was such a great addition to the garage. Nice getting to see Mike tear up the track in it as well.
The Evos and 550 are so much more entertaining to follow than just another £1m+ rocket. Great to have the Murci and Squadra back too!!
🎉🎉unreal first time out guys congrats! And Mike is a true gentleman , be humble to have him and treat him well ... Great vid.
The content has become better by tenfold easily since having Mike join the channel. Think in time it will be looked back at one of the major stepping stones for DDE in the positive direction. Keep up the work fellas💪
It's kinda crazy how DDE and Mike Essa just completely killed the collaboration game, Mike is seriously underrated and I can't wait for him to build up this race program. Super sick content guys!
Damon typically exudes confidence, to see him humbled by Mike’s driving says a lot about his character and Mike’s skills! Great group of guys!
You guys should go to more race tracks with the evo 2. Loved this episode a lot. Keep up the hard work guys.
Yeah totally and maybe Mike gives Damon advice on being faster on track
I agree they need practice and a lot of us probably want to see more track stuff ...but id love to see a race car vs their entire fleet series 😮 that would be cool
Mike Essa is pure-gold for the channel -- treat him very well -- his technical and driving skills add another dimension to the channel. You took the channel to another level when you hired him.
That was amazing. Mike was having a blast. The knowledge this guy has. Is upping your guys game like none other. Hope the 550 ok.
mike is the best addition to ever come to dde. The knowledge he possesses helps dde crank out projects super fast and also fix them really fast.
Love Mike on the channel i hope he stays for a long time :)
His a big asset to DDE hope he sticks around
This might just be my all time favorite video from DDE. Excited for the direction we’re going here.
OMG I thought it was only me today's vlog totally hit different
Mike is tearing up the track with Dave’s nervous giggle in the passenger seat says it all. 😂
Awesome beast of a car.
I have to admit, Adding Essa to the team is the best thing that has ever happened on this channel for now! U get to have more content that u couldn't provide before!
Having mike with you guys is the best. His love for working and driving race cars still there. That just made the content way better. I can’t wait to see what else you guys all do together. I would like to see mike race Dave or Damon.
Mike Essa was slaying everyone on the track! That was really cool. Those two cars was the best I've seen on that track. That's a whole lotta fun.

Amazing guys!! I dont think many drifters can drive like that on a race track!! Respect!!
Mike is a beast. And I think this is the best crew DDE has had on the channel by far. Mike is great at what he does it's his passion and his Mad Skills is top-shelf you guys rock Man💪🏼💪🏼♥️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎👊🏼💨💥🤙🏼🤙🏼
Honestly, Mike is an excellent choice to join your team - comes across as an expert in everything motorsport and gels great with the team. Loved seeing the cars put to real use, please bring more and go Nurburgring in the monster!
Can tell Damon is smiling even with the helmet on!!! 🤣
Homie was crying under that helmet of fear lmao
I’m glad they involve Mike in everything and he’s not just the fabricator in the back corner of the shop, it’s great to see, keep up the great content
Makes me so happy for Mike to see you guys give him the love an respect that he deserves an letting him show you guys how you're suppose to drive the evo2 an show you the limits of it
Mike is literally the man, watching him drive and take corners is amazing
i never usually comment bit i got to say that this is hands down the best DDE video i've ever seen even though i'm a long time subscriber , adding Mike to the team was the best choice ever , and seeing him in his elemant ripping that EVO 2 racecar while still humble arround you guy was truely amazing .this is the type of content everyone enjoys and loves for a reason .Keep up the hard work guys✌
Humbled by the most humble guy on the Tube. Mike has brought class to the channel.
Well done, you've created a good dynamic by solid people and culture choices.
Can confirm the best way to be humbled at the track is to do laps, then have an instructor show you the true potential. Humbling and yet lights a passion and fire to push a little harder each time.
Yes, would like to see Damon at a race school for about a week.
There might be the problem that there is a spot between driving slow and driving fast that is impossible to get past slowly. You start to go faster and at some point you are carrying more speed but not enough to get the tires fully up to temp and/or get the aero working.
The reason that they want you to work up from slower cars/carting.
Bro !!!! WHAT A RUSH!!! Watching it , let alone being inside that vehicle is a rush!!! Wow!!! Makes you want to work harder just to get one!!! Props boyz!!!

That was a great watch, especially with the ride a long. This was something a little different from normal, and I enjoyed it and now want more. Nice to see Damon pushing himself.
Adding Mike to the channel was the best thing. I love how he diagnose the cars and really show the TRUE potential of the cars. Great job DDE.
I love how mike is passing other cars just casually ❤
I love the split screen and reactions during cornering. Next time give us a full lap in first person! Love it.
Awesome content. It proofs that track racing is what separates the boys from the pros.
Damon and Dave is a duo tht cannot be replaced. Honestly I live my dream through every video and they do everything imaginable fucking awesomeeeee

Mike is such a cool guy to have on your guys team!! You guys are going to do awesome things!
Awesome to see Mike getting to play after putting in so much work on the 550!
Seemed like an amazing track day, car sounds amazing as well! I know y’all had fun and it was a well deserved experience for all of you for the amount of time and money you put towards building the channel with the cars. Amazing video!
Mike is honestly one of the best editions to DDE ever, integrates so well and adds so much
This was a really fun video, Mike is a huge part of the team now. Love it!
Mike is a humble master of racing 😎 I learn soo much when he's in the vlogs
I knew you guys were gearing up for track days! I'm excited to see this type of content as a time attack driver myself.
Mike is such a great addition to the DDE vids.
That turned out to be a great purchase. You guys are going to have a blast with the Evo-2, can't wait to see more content on it! Cheers 🍻
That Evo 2 sounds awesome,what a car, and Mike's driving skills are top level,proper killing it guys 👍
Super cool seeing mike tear willow up 🤘🏼 hopefully you guys get him in the seat more often !
The one thing I like is Mike has the knowledge and experience of racing and brings a complete difference view of cars and it’s amazing!!
That was awesome. Mike can surely wheel a car. It was cool seeing the look and reaction Daman had with Mike driving. I'd love to be able to go for a ride with Mike around Willow. Hope nothing major is wrong with the Ferrari.
This is the DDE I love. Mike adds so much to this experience and the guys are super humble. More more more please!
This video literally lasts the last couple minutes of my flight, great way to end!!
Mike is the Man! There is nothing he can't do with a car! Best addition to the channel ever!!
I really enjoyed this episode. Keep it up DDE!!!
I ve told you recently that the F550 looks like OEM. It not only looks like ferrari should have done it, but looks so fresh and modern, like its the generation between the 360 and the f430!
Also feels like this is the pinacle of the channel with all these amazing cars and work done to them. really great job u guys!
Also Mike must stay indefinitely to the channel and be more integrated to it
Mark definitely needs a few laps as a passenger with Damon and then Mike driving 😅😅
Mike is wicked behind the wheel most definitely gotta see him drive more often🔥🙏 stay safe yall
I was waiting for this when I watched the stories channel I was like what the heck dude marks editing was awesome and I hope he got his dream car hope you enjoyed yourself with the 550 and the Evo Mike was ready for you waiting to pounce great fun was had dudes I'm enjoying the race content keep up the good work
Mike is knowledgeable and a genuine good guy. You should treat him well. Finally seeing you guys do real car stuff makes me want to forgive for that bought not built shit from the past. Mike knows what I'm sayin'.
please show more of mike driving on track. thats what we really want to see
You can see the "grin" even under the helmet😂 Mike Essa, you are the bomb!!!
New V12 Lamborghini Revuelto just released! Can’t wait to see what you guys think of it and what kind of shenanigans you’ll do when you get one!
Up
I was just gonna mention that also!

A ride a long in a race car on a track humbles.
Epic 👌🏼
Full send.
I'm so happy ESSA stepped in to be their dad.
Amazing video guys well done. The Huracan Evo is next level. I could totally feel the intensity for Dave and Mike through the in cabin bounce and engine sound.
Now, this is what I signed up for , a proper RUclips video at its best .
Love you DDE ❤
Very cool to see you guys finally on track pushing with a real race car. You guys came a really long way.
Loved watching Mike Hammer Down on the track! What a great addition he is to the team. Keep letting him get behind the wheel of DDE hardware - so much fun to watch!
Mike is a blessing to the channel and great job everyone at the track.
This was one of the most entertaining videos you made. Man I can't wait to see Mike drift the 550 around a track.
teaming with essa was literally the best thing you guys could have done, ive loved dde before but now its like never before
Amazing driving Mike Essa. I felt the thrill in front of my laptop. haha
man i love mike hes too genuine and he has soo much knowledge mashallah
Watching Mike like nostalgic times. Good to see the man loving the track life again! Awesome content and what a weapon you lad's have!
Love watching Mike drive and as per my prediction, this blog was perfect
This has to be one of my favorite episodes in a long time and that’s saying A LOT.
FANTASTIC 😁 DAIMO, WHAT A LEGEND MIKE 👏
Mike is so good savage !! Everything he does with cars is hands down perfection best addition to the channel !
Probably the sickest video you guys have put out so far. Amazing car.
