  • » Watch Mad Mikes 360° POV of his run: win.gs/Highland...
    Smoke, speed and precision driving… just another day in the office for Mad Mike.
    At the highest level of professional drifting, race cars are thrown sideways at speeds topping 200km/h. They are precision instruments engineered for a purpose.
    Kiwi drift driver Mad Mike Whiddett and his newest - and arguably craziest - addition to his Mazda factory-backed stable of machinery yet, a Mazda MX-5 named RADBUL, is a fine replica of this.
    Down at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell, Otago, New Zealand, Mad Mike Whiddett takes his custom four-rotor, twin turbo 26B rotary engine and drifts around the challenging and technical track, showing us that he has the skills, the team and the machine to put the car exactly where he wants.

      @squirlybmx 8 лет назад +3

      +Scott M. They can an do, watch Essa's onboard at Atlanta in his E46. It's sorta frowned upon for lead drivers to do it because the follow car is forced to reverse entry as well so it's really only done on tight initiations. Alec Hohnadell did it pretty much every run in texas on the manji towards the wall.
