After Drift Masters Spain, we headed north to Finland for something completely different. This time there were no drift cars, no clipping points, and no walls to chase. Instead, the guys at Samsonas Motorsport handed James the keys to a BMW E36 rally car powered by an E46 M3 engine, and took him to one of Finland's legendary rally stages. The first passenger ride was enough to leave James speechless. After years of competing at the highest level in drifting, he still called this: 👉 The scariest drive of his life. And then things got even crazier... After getting familiar with the car, James spent the day behind the wheel himself, experiencing what it's really like to attack a Finnish rally stage at full speed. To finish off the trip, we headed to Lithuania to visit the legendary Samsonas factory, getting a behind-the-scenes look at where some of the best gearboxes, dampers, and motorsport components in the world are designed and built. This was one unforgettable adventure. 👕 Merch: https://www.onethirty.shop 🎥 Members get exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, longer rally runs, and factory tour extras. #JamesDeane #Samsonas #RallyFinland #BMWE36 #RallyCar #Motorsport #Drifting #E46M3 #FinnishRally #SamsonasMotorsport Thanks for the support, JD Grab a pair of Heatwave Visual Sunglasses using my 10% discount code: ONETHIRTY www.heatwavevisual.com

I would Not be surprised if James starts building a rally machine
James in BMW as nature intended.
You should do Arctic Lapland Rally in Finland next winter, it's proper rally but it's relatively safe cause there's so much snow, there might be some DM drivers from Finland doing it too.
james continuing the bloodline of the family in rallying😍🤣
Day 6 until James Deane reads this comment. Hi James Deane, if you remember, you came to Northern Cyprus in the 2022 season. We would love to see you here again this year. I wanted to ask you, would you like to come this season? Driftneu has expanded its track considerably and moved to a new track. We would love to see you towards the end of this season. ❤️❤️❤️ If you're wondering what to do about the car problem, you can rent a car from there. We are waiting for you.❤❤
Big respect to Samsonas
Mr Samsonas sideways jump over the downhill right... wtaf!? What an insane driver.
I just witnessed Mayrtnez drive his 2008 sti at the Rocky Mountain Rally in Birtish Columbia Canada this past weekend! He was 6 min ahead of everyone at the end of day 1.

Hello from Lithuania
James having fun is fun to watch 😀
James if you have a chance come to one of Lithuanias Drift Matsuri’s, You won’t regret it and you’ll have plenty of cars to drift 😁
Bro James and LZ build a rally for the compound!! Be sick!!
Like fancy field drifting 😂 Always thought I'd see you out in Baby Blue or something more local. Would love a Cleetus collab, see what 2 giraffes can get up to in a blackwing or field drifting some vics.
To have your first rally experience in a RWD of this level is truly incredible. Like yall said in the modern day it's one of a kind.
Wouuuu! I am so proud! I was born in the same town where Martynas Samsonas makes his gearboxes!
