#201 - Collin Bernard: Drifting at 14, Pro-Am at 16 & Building It His Way

Collin Bernard joins us for Episode 4 of the Texas Series, recorded inside The Shop Houston. At just 24 years old, Collin has already lived multiple chapters in drifting—starting in Louisiana, competing in Pro-Am at 16 in a built BMW, and eventually walking away from a potential Formula Drift path to build something on his own terms. We get into his early sim days, Lone Star Drift, Gas Monkey sponsorship moments, and how Knuckle Up Texas helped him rediscover why he started drifting in the first place. From go-karts to R35 GT-Rs to one of the cleanest S13 Silvias in the country, this episode is about growth, self-awareness, and choosing your own lane.@collindoesdrifting@theshophoustonCheck out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/LIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!
