Mad Mike Opens Up The Motorsport Madhouse

Welcome to the home of moto legend and drifting king Mike Whiddett, who lives a stones throw from the world famous race track at Hampton Downs in New Zealand. Known as the 'Madhouse' Mike and his family enjoy a high octane lifestyle in the Kiwi hills, racing motorbikes around the garden and even have a custom built racing simulator amongst the fleet of vehicles in the garage ⛽️ 🕹 💨
Here’s how New Zealand driver Mad Mike Whiddett took a cutting disc to the factory-fresh body of a stunning Lamborghini Huracán and turned it into a drift demon.
www.redbull.com/int-en/thered...
Coming from a motocross background, New Zealand-born Mike Whiddett made a major impact in the drift scene when he released his Red Bull-branded, specially-modified 515bhp ‘MADBUL’ Mazda RX-7 and then the rotary-engined 'BADBUL' RX-8.
Mike made the switch from competing pro in FMX to drifting in 2006. Since then, he's had a string of successful years in drifting. Mike's competed in two pro-spec drift cars, and regards his drifting career as a full-time job.

I can drive just like that I wish I had the money to show people and maybe someone will hit me up to show them and maybe get a job driving.

[@Yotakong]

Mad mike you’re a bad a** driver but I can drive like you can you have more experience because you know people and have the money I live in a small town in Idaho and don’t really know anyone and I don’t have the money but I would like to go to the dirt fish rally school because I’m pretty sure they’re scouts there and I’m about 95% sure I would get a job driving I’m not being cocky I just know what I can do and I’ve owned a Subaru sti and rallied it very well.

[@lxopenfirexl7007]

He started from scratch also man,get out there n enter as many events as possible bro,he did exactly that and had obviously been impressing the right people

[@kurupt7154]

⁠@@Yotakong you have to be a bot 🤦🏽😂 you definitely don’t drive like Mike, you aren’t in his level and that’s just safe to assume, Mike was building rotors in a shed when he was like 12! He’s come from nothing from a small town in a small country, he didn’t have money he just chased the dream and now gets to live the life he lives, he’s been doing this a very long time! Not everyone can make it but mike has and him being himself and being different has what’s helped him do what he does, you sound like an arrogant chump who believes he deserves the spoils without the grind!

🎉 🎉Not judging anyone but repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Lord Jesus died and was resurrected on the third day for us so that we might have eternal life through believing in him and obedience to him and the word. Accept the lord Jesus as your savior today if you haven’t already have a blessed day. The lord Jesus is coming back soon be ready 💜💜 ✝️✝️✝️😊😊😊
