  • Thanks to Red Bull and Tomimotofilms here is a full inside look of what went down at R2 of the 2022 Formula Drift Japan Championship at Ebisu.
    Boarders have finally opened to Japan for business and fortunate for MM Drifting is business. Mike also only 5 weeks ago snapped both bones in his arm, broke his collar bone plus 2x fractured ribs but will this slow him down....? It's been over 3 years since Mike has competed in competition, can he calm his excitement and drive for the judges or will he drive wild for the fans in the crazy 1100hp TCP Magic Mazda RX7 HUMBUL

    As a rotary owner and lover. It’s just amazing to see this platform alive in Motorsport still. You’ve always been a hero to the rotary community and hopefully I’ll have my R3 RX8 BrapBrapping and involved in the community again soon. Glad to see you back!

    That was epic! I can only but imagine how you’d have felt after such a long hiatus. And who really cares if you didn’t quite get the run dialled as you’d have liked…it was entertaining as hell!! Especially that chase where you all but passed the other guy around the back lol! You’re a great example of humility and keeping it real mate, loving your work! 👊🏼🔥🔥🤙🏼

I would really like to see Mike at Drift Masters, but that must be a huge effort for logistic. But never say never, maybe the time will come and Lincoln will hopefully also compete in professional drifting ^^ Either way, I'll always be a big fan of the whiddett's :)

      @@alastairdow-taylor4103 you can't really say that he never does it, he's just always late because he's a IT guy building a insane car from scratch with just about 2 fulltime people, and i say a car, but it's the 3 rotor, 4 rotor, 2 rotor corvette, c8 corvette, fc rx7, rx8, the planning for the 6 rotor, the indy car, all at once, he doesn't sit still and is probably doing more at once than most people you'll find on youtube especially for someone who has no prior experience in the field i find it hella impressive, he's now driven the 4 rotor at the track, not that hard yet, but it's coming together now, and he's got some unannounced events coming up which will be pretty cool if he makes it in time, i'm not saying i don't get why some people hate on him, because everything takes like 20 times longer than he plans, but i get that when he's someone that is extremely perfectionistic and not that experienced yet
