[@keastymatthew2407]

answer to your first question, having to know that we cant exterminate the natives in NZ as each day goes by

[@datdudeinred]

6:12 Ken Block said "come over bro & just absorb as much as you can just be my shadow & absorb it". What a great human being he was. RIP Ken.

[@Longbranx]

Is He dead? o.O

[@NissanR33Ztune]

What a great short and sweet video.... also well done to whom ever edited it.

[@ThaVoodoo1]

Mike went well for his first Pikes peak run, he ended up coming 21st@ time 10:34.980 out of 66 vehicle's.

[@juneemalik2079]

finally someone doing something with the mazda3, that car looks to good and needs more attention

[@apophisstr6719]

Imo it is the most beautiful hatchback in the last 20 years, despite being just a regular roadcar, the silhouette, the lines, all so elegant and well crafted.

[@R3IMU]

Mad Mike is such a humble character. Never gets too full of himself. I tend to lose him out of my sight just for him to pop back up with an awesome project. Would love to see the entire in car run! :)

[@jeffkeen6943]

Mike is a special brand of lunatic...and that's why we love him!!! No driver aids...driving the way it should be. Great job!!!

[@ClavaLad]

Was truly a spectacle to watch Mike shoot past me on the mountain. Him and that car truly are amazing!

[@itsanofromme6099]

Can’t wait to see him at WTAC in what ever he brings!

[@haltech]

He is bringing #RADBUL MX5! 🔥 worldtimeattack.com/index.php/mad-mike-wtac-2023/

[@MrArran1011]

It's been a Proud couple of weeks for us Kiwis competing in the US. Mad Mike Whiddett Rep's for NZ so Well.. Legend... Rhys Millen was there (again) too, in BMW M8? Another Kiwi Legend. Keeping the heritage at that Hill climb Since the Godfather Rod Millen. And Shane Van Gisbergen smashing a WIN in his 1st Ever Nascar Race. Pls can we have another LeadFoot Festival again soon.

[@larrykay6606]

Just watching his feet 'dance' on the pedals!! OMG!!!!

[@haltech]

Epic footwork, right!?

[@poplaurentiu4148]

@@haltech That rotary sound is eargasmic..

[@modfinishes303]

It was great driving with you up there!

[@64Pete]

That pedal work. A wheelman extrordinaire.

[@RadDadisRad]

I missed the PPIHC this year and I’m mad at myself because so many great drivers and cars were there.

[@flailios]

That car is bloody awesome! There are just some things that need to happen, and a rotary going in a Mazda 3 is one of them. Fk yeah!

[@Robert-hm1ob]

From Manukau skidfest to Pikes legend 🤙

[@Games4Days912]

There's a reason it won best designed car in the world. Love my Mazda 3 turbo hatch. So God damned beautiful. Art on wheels. Mazda🖤

[@rexsalisbury3646]

Now this is how you drive a MAZDA!!

[@juanosuna3625]

Mad Mike you are cool bro. Keep up the good work bro. Can’t wait to see more videos of you driving up the hill.

[@themeatpopsicle]

A rotary-powered hot hatch? This is the most desirable car at PPIHC

[@RadDadisRad]

I want to see this tandem with Chris Forsberg in the Altimaniac.

[@salloroc20]

Definitely more difficult than. Pikes peak lolol

[@5IMON5AY5]

@@salloroc20 LOL! Obviously you have no idea! 😂 I’d like to see your civic do 1 corner on pikes peak at 100mph.

[@salloroc20]

@@5IMON5AY5 you're dumb enough to think I have a civic..

[@NicholasMavrikBrandt]

loved seeing this in person, definitely not the car was looking forward to the most going up the mountain, but loved hearing that Rotary scream.

[@ripnsoar]

Great video

[@ChucklesGarageOfficial]

MIKE IS THE MAN!

[@Gritt982]

I like this, good job guys! nice to see cars like this being crafted.

[@8888shooter]

👏👌👍..way to go, Mike!!..awesome work, I always enjoy watching your videos and your drifting video's are awe-inspiring!!!!..cracking job mate!!!👌👏...love this new Mazda, its a pocket rocket!!!!..fantastic driver and great videos!!!👏.... keep em coming guys!!🏁📸😃

[@JWbrasser]

"I got the best team here" is a bold statement if the sendy club is on that mountain

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

Yeah, the sendy boys went a bit faster, but that is just him getting psyched up. Besides for him I’m sure he does have the best team.

[@lightfoot.2000]

🔥 Siiick! 🤘😎

[@BrianBoniMakes]

Great sounding car.

[@UncleManuel]

"There's no room for error." Yeah, I spotted Old Smokey in one shot. Scott had one hell of a run - and then suddenly the brake pedal went to the floor. Total brake failure. That's why he took a short flight off the side of the mountain and totally wrecked his awesome truck... 😕 But his crash did show one thing: the strict safety rules of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb are there for a reason. Strong cages, containment seats and harnesses ensure that the drivers can walk away unscafed from these horrifying crashes... 👍

[@LonelyHearts.Co24]

His footwork is amazing on the pedals!💀

[@MrArran1011]

I would love to see Whiddett and Millen built Car for a serious record attempt..

[@annanishikinomiya2765]

I remember ken block Run this place 😔 thank you for your share❤

[@shumcr]

i think there's a screw loose don't worry i found it, it's in his ear

[@AR3n3gad3]

THAT FOOT WORK!!! DAMN AMAZING!!! Who needs flat foot shifting use that input for something else lol!

[@simmosideways]

guys got a screw loose. check his ear

[@scottyskydog]

Busy feet! Lol very impressive!

[@C-M-E]

Drifting 25 years ago: "Too much grip? What's that?" _Rolls two used tires from the bin towards the rear end_ Today: "1400hp seems adequate and necessary." 😉

[@KenPapara]

Pikes looks scary af to drive on

[@vinniesmith7455]

Man it’s just crazy to see Mike just go from one thing to another and still completely blow our minds … thanks for team too for making him have the ability to put out as much rotary love and conquer everything ! MAZDA is life !

nice wheels

Curious if this event can be brought over to the big island driving/racing up Mauna Kea.

[@Anklepick125]

Wish he took the RX7, it would have been much better to look at. But still, love the rotaries and I'm so happy to see Mad Mike sending it up Pikes Peak

[@NOPPYify]

Now imagine if he drifted through the corner at @7:39

[@golfmk1gtigarry630]

❤👍💪🌿

[@Monkey_D_Luffy56]

It would be nice if he drifted all the way down 😢

[@andrewvassallo3444]

😊

[@maaduece5132]

Almost need the dash to connect to.the helmet audio to give warnings or times

[@ShawnColeman01]

Just the way a Mazda needs to be: Rolling up the road with a rotary engine

[@jasonpoihegatama1347]

must be hard not to hang out the rear. and use brakes

[@msbuilding2806]

1400hp no assists ☠️

[@anarchyr32]

Sounds like it’s revving all the way to 5000rpm

[@darianistead2239]

try 10,000+ rpm.. It probably idles at around 1700rpm+..

[@blakekibler9374]

I am just realizing buddy has a screw in his ear😂😂

[@fikrihmazhar]

Sound muffler🔥🔥🔥

[@jenibond]

Great video !! and big scotty has the sexs voice over voice !!! love you xxxx

[@haltech]

That's actually Richo's voice, but we'll be sure to let him know

[@dilsher12]

Sounds more like a 2 rotor with the twin setup weird

[@jonkeau5155]

Firing orders and pipes make a huge difference on rotary for sound! Rob Dahm’s 4 rotor sounds like a v-12 F1 car from back in the day

[@NextDoorGuy]

mad mike loves to run one turbo per 2 rotors with open dumps, so his cars tend to sound like a 13B with reverb instead of the classic 26B/ F1 sound we expect out of this engine

[@darius2640]

what bull is this gonna be called? mike always names his cars [something] + bull

[@Osmocote]

BULLet

[@madmike.123]

BULLET 🤘🏽

[@CheezGAMEZ555]

I. Have this car in sadan form but that's good to know it's a heck of a car beautiful. It makes me want to do a bunch of shit to my MAZDA32020🚗

[@Candidplayer]

Why the music?? Would be nice to hear the car 😢

[@paulwade5853]

Wonder why it's left hand drive? Race regulations?

[@yeahnah6468]

It's to allow room for the turbos. He prefers right hand drive, but having the steering column on that side makes it prohibitively cramped with twins.

[@fusemalaysia840]

Madmike cars is flagship cars, ofcuz have he have more horse power...900hp for sure plug build up infinite torque ....the only weakness wengkel blade, the best one material for rotary blade, metal who cannot or adsorbed or transfer heat.... simple solution but Mazda failed to figureout....just used chrome magnetic and metal roller to fix everything...it gonna be infinite power but not gas consumption....for mordern 3 rotor tubro good for FC, 2 for spark plug combustion and one for turbo exhaust circle mean they still burn extra gas that comeout from turbo exhaust ...you need bycycle flyweel that how it gonna go for the 3rd rotor.... ofcuz I can explain but don't asking me to build it cause I don't work with mechinary ...it act like rotary bondor , the rotor gonna compress 1/9 circle before it spark...mean the 3rd rotor spark plug position is different....my design rotary is not futuristic, but it good for FC and what most important it increase horsepower...many people in university, they parents is rich so they can buy expensive billet cube then CNC it to make a stupid project even we all know it not gonna work.

Hahahhahaha a drifter giving it a try on piles peak hill climb. Sure man. In a parallel universe
