    I have personally never seen Federico before, but this story is one of the best ones I've seen from this channel since I've been subbed. Not only that but the messages he sends really can hit anyone and everyone personally to ensure they're still enjoying what they do. Fantastic.

    You should really invite Aaron Losey from Lone Star Drift for this type of topic. He's been in the drifting scene for so long and has spoken to so many Pro and ProAM drifters about "how to make drifting work". Plus he has a lot of car related stories. And boy can he talk

    I’ve loved Fiorina since she hit the Formula Drift circuit, but I now have a new appreciation and respect for Federico. What an amazing disposition to have and approach to take after everything the world has endured in the past couple of years. Can’t wait to watch him throw down laps during Round 4, knowing he’s enjoying and actively working to make the best of every second behind the wheel. Cheers to you, Federico.

    A lot of skill, a lot of luck, and alot of money. I watched my friends family dump literally everything into her racing career. The kid was always on the brink of stardom. Also she was a girl which was so cool to see rise through the ranks. Ended up not making it but was considered professional for a period of time.

    Or just drive in California😂 Oh you’ll learn on the interstate 5 especially if lmao….I’ve been professionally driving for about 7 years starting in California. Yes I’ve been in a few accidents but I learned my mistakes n feel that I’ve improved drastically. I like drifting (which costs me always having to replace my back passenger tire a lot sooner (Honda)….I really want to try giving the race world a try. Lord knows I’ll win some medals. This is something that I excel in just like music if not a little more. Im planning on finding some classes to enroll on so I can enhance my skills and take this to the next level. I’ve drove automatics and Manuels on road-trips distancing over 400 miles through the states through the mountains through the hot and snow and rain. I find it relaxing. Wish me luck🏎️
