Mad Mike Formula Drift Ebisu Circuit

Mad Mike team recap on win at Formula Drift Ebisu, Japan 2016
"Winning at Ebisu was like nothing else, to go door to door with some of my inspirational drift racers out of Japan and take the win was amazing. It was such a team effort, everything came together today, we were focused and on point."
Ebisu is the home of drift for Japan and it's an honour to be competing here against some of the drivers who inspired me, on their home soil.
Kawato san and his team from TCP Magic did a great job preparing the car, it felt super strong and responsive. The RX7 chassis feels like an extension of my body when I drive it, it's a chassis I have been driving since the beginning of my career.
I'm so proud to represent TCP Magic and put them onto the top step of the podium. Huge thanks to Kawato san and his team and also Toni and JT for being a massive part of us being able to accomplish this win.
Arigato Gozaimas to Robbie Nishida, Shane, Andy Gray and everyone else in Osaka, Tokyo and Ebisu who helped out in some way.

[@JoaoGoncalves-hc1ug]

+Fathi Haziq thanks!

[@nikeskateboarding11]

This is awesome

[@SupMaHomies]

Seriously I went through all the comments, nobody knows the song that starts at the very start of the video and plays through for like 2 minutes? It's awesome

[@Blabus5]

It's some kind of New Retro Wave. That's all I know.

[@marvinsamocampo]

[@floydthedroid5935]

[@LordPodlington]

Mike you need to get HUMBUL running in the US for the FD rounds there. RADBUL is a hell of a machine but it seems a lot more of a challenge to drive consistently.

[@badgerlucas961]

0:59 Takumi proud of this

[@TheNorthernDrift]

who edited the video?

[@ugur653]

Mad Mike > Ken Block

[@lar2028]

mad mike obviusly why? formula drift is much harder, why? in formula drift you can't repeat and in gymkhanas you can repeat 1000 times

[@AbirMojumder]

gymkhana's more for style, this one's proper drifting

[@lar2028]

yep for me its harder formula drift and its easy drift a small car

[@ZombieByte]

they're both outstanding drivers but mike is more of a prefectionist getting that precice fine line, ken just likes to have fun, go hard as fuck and trow it as sideways as possible even if it means crashing every now and again. MAJOR respect to both of them

[@karangrejopermai2580]

Not yet till now...wait both in one tournament...soon

[@barbados026]

What is the intro song that plays until 2:10?

[@SPKSpike]

Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Lorde (Diamond Saints Remix)

[@barbados026]

That plays after 2:10; it's a different song before that.

[@95racing54]

+Yonz I would like to know that too! Do you know which song it is now?

Anyone feel he's better in the RX7 than the MX5? I know he's trying something different and pushing the boundary's but that RX7 look stable and better for him.

[@steezgeneral7715]

The LoudAssasin yeah but the mx5 will make him a better driver in the long run i guess

[@xxCORONAxx]
