- This is it.
This is everything going full circle.
I started drifting in a Supra,
I think it's 15 years ago.
And here we are, you know,
with the brand new Supra.
I think a lot of people
now expect me to put
in an even stronger fight
for that championship.
It's not gonna easy transition.
And I think the biggest thing
that I need to manage is expectations.
Other people's expectations,
as well as my own expectations.

- We've got a new addition
to the team, Ryan Tuerck.
He's gonna me driving
in Fredric Aasboø's car
that he drifted last year:
The 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback.
- To have the factory backing by Toyota,
is like a full dream come true situation.
Where you're a factory-backed driver
for one of the best teams in the pit.
- Ryan wants to be a
driver, cannot always worry
about the competition car.
We wanted to bring on another driver and--
- [Fredric] He is arguably,
the best teammate you can have.
At the same time, is probably the toughest
teammate you can have.
- Huge amount of pressure on
Ryan, coming into the team
and stepping into a car that
has such good results already.
I think that, you know,
if it were me (laughs),
and someone gave me this tool and said,
"Look what someone's
already done with this tool.
Here your go!
Now let's see what you can do with it."

(car engine revving)
When you have teammates that are
already really high-level.
That both want to make sure
that they win this battle.
That are in competitive
cars, go out there and...
(car engine revving loudly)
That's the most exciting competition
that I can think of that gonna come up.
- Ideally, we're both one and two
on the (laughs) on the box
every round that we go to.
So I'm fine with trading
back and forth in this.
If we can work that
strategy, that'd be perfect.
- [Steph] I believe that each
round should stand alone.
And if driver A is on the verge
of winning a championship,
then he should be able to
beat anybody any round.
- If we're gonna go head-to-head,
then we both wanna kick each
other's ass for sure (laughs).
- We're out there for blood.
- You win at all costs.
(upbeat music)
whatever that is at the time (laughs).
