HEALY PASS - WILD ATLANTIC DRIFT JAMES DEANE × FORD RACING × RTR VEHICLES 44 CORNERS. 3.3 KILOMETRES. ONE MOUNTAIN PASS. Hidden among the mountains of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way lies Healy Pass - a spectacular ribbon of tarmac winding through some of the country's most breathtaking scenery. For one extraordinary day, the mountain road was closed to the public. And the silence was broken by the sound of the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-DM. Behind the wheel, James Deane takes on 44 corners and 3.3 kilometres of mountain road in a cinematic display of precision, control and the art of drifting. No judges. No championship points. No competition. Just man, machine and mountain. This is WILD ATLANTIC DRIFT. THE MAKING OF HEALY PASS Created during the chaos of the Drift Masters end-of-season schedule, this ambitious project was captured in a single five-hour filming session. With the support of local authorities, An Garda Síochána, experienced Drift Event marshals, FPV pilots and an incredible production crew, Healy Pass was transformed into a closed-road filming location. Months of imagination brought to life in just a few hours. A huge thank you to every individual and organization who helped make this production possible. 🎬 NEXT TUESDAY - THE MAKING OF WILD ATLANTIC DRIFT Join us for a special behind-the-scenes vlog documenting the planning, preparation, challenges and unforgettable moments behind the film.

This is giving gymkhana vibes. Production is top tier 👏👏
This performance deserved 4K upload !
Reminds me of kens climbkana with the hoonicorn 🥲🔥🔥
I scattered my father’s ashes from the top of the Healy, it’s a special place for me and my family of petrolheads, with many powerful memories over the years. Thanks for giving the old man a good show James.
It’ll be a sad day for the parish when the aliens take James home. Unbelievable 👏🏻👏🏻
The hills are alive with the sound of music 🎵🎶
Epic my man!!
This was so rad! I bet Lukas is fizzing to have pulled this off! Legal Road drift projects are no easy feat! All that admin! but nothing beats the sound of a comp drift car hissing up some mountain road! You should all be very proud of this!
Absolutely unreal! James continuing to prove why he’s the the best drifter in the world
Nice seeing the RTR getting some mountain love
Art ❤️ James, Bandana, Team 👏
