Mad Mike shreds Ebisu in the 1100hp 4rotor RX7

[@XenoDeki]

It's not about winning, it's about sending a message with that Monster 4 Rotor RX-7.

[@richardburgos4230]

Message sent and was received. Goodness I love that engine screaming, lol!

[@crownroyal2155]

That's right!🔺

[@11metalfan]

And the message is "BWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"

[@tafadzwasavala2769]

Amen

[@Veedaru]

absolutely!

[@lhceftp6120]

Hit EVERY single outside zone clip 😂 that’s why they call you MAD MIKE WHIDETT, NZ ICON 💚

[@charlesschwab7651]

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!

[@manusb6441]

Good to see you back at it bro, get well soon! Love to see the Rx-7 slayin' tires at Ebisu just Legendary!🤘

[@manusb6441]

Sick FD Japan photo BTW LOL 😂

[@offgridas]

You were by far the croud favorite, definitely gained yourself some die hard fans from that's mental as run.

[@therealbanksea]

Let's goooo mike loving the uploads long time supporter much love from Australia brother 💪

[@ryandee4255]

Mike glad to see you back in action. Seeing you back behind the wheel of a Mazda and listening to you speak for your passion of the sport, is why you’re an icon. 🤙

[@christiaanbianchinawiid309]

It must have been amazing to stand in the middle of the track while the rx7 comes past and tyre smoke and the sound of the rotary, it's pure adrenaline love it

[@TwoOneSe7en]

Favorite drift car on the planet. MOAR PLEASE. This and Litterals RB S15. The best.

[@cyberwired]

Awesome Mike! Camera work is wicked with the drone and in car footage thrown in, love that you're speaking japanese so easily to everyone as well! - Phil from Nexus days :)

[@ANILTV82]

Finally you and the car are BACK! LETS GOOOO!

[@sakkiejack]

Awesome effort mate! Car looks awesome and sounds great!

[@swizzlepopp]

The visuals in this clip is an absolute masterpiece!!! I thought Tarantino was the only person that could ever produce such a violently calm screenplay ! Sh!t is Wild ! ⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐

[@cee-life]

The man bro! Awesome team, congrats to you and your family.

[@999Rabs]

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! 👊🏼🔥🔥🤙🏼

[@TheRealTurboJesus]

This car will be remembered as the greatest drift car of an entire generation of driftinng

[@tomimoto]

Thank you for an amazing opportunity! Nothing beats seeing & hearing you rip the twin turbo 4 rotor in the home of drifting aka Japan!

[@zachcheccucci1173]

Always amazes me how even when you stuff up you still manage to make it look tidy and still fully commit, so damn rad man!

[@drifterduo]

Mike, it's so awesome to see you compete again, I bet you've been itching to get back out there! What do you think of Rob Dahm's 4 rotor, awd beast? The rotary community would love to see you two colab in some way.

[@alastairdow-taylor4103]

Madmike sends it Rob dahm talks about it but never does that's the difference

[@drifterduo]

@@alastairdow-taylor4103 Mike has a whole team and a fleet of dedicated race cars, Rob is building his from the ground up, and it's mostly just him and Isaiah. Not really a fair comparison.

[@MrTurbo_]

@@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

[@xawesome4x30]

Badass to see Mike compete again!! 🔥

[@justaformer11b95]

SOOOOOOOO PUMPED TO WATCH THIS YEAR! Red Bull is my lifeblood and drifting is my drug. So glad to have Mike’s wild ass back in the game.

[@1badfd908]

You the man brother #rotangklan represent!! Hektik driving as always!!!

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

To be out of it for so many years and still make it to 16th is an achievement on its own! Well done man, always great watching you.

[@oscargustafson9140]

The fans is something else. Love it!

[@anarchyr32]

Bro so epic to have your concern back on some big level comp stuff. Love the driving style. Nz represent yeeeow 🤘

[@nickw0tup]

Gave it hell mate well done . That hectic Chase run reeling the leader in , Mad alright haha

[@romasmurphy]

I love when your 4rotor engine screaming to the limit that's one of my favorites, winning or losing is a matter later at least I really enjoy your 4rotor scream, keep spirit and healthy mike god bless you 😍🙏

[@stenapproved7684]

Welcome back dude! Keep up the good work.

[@Mighty_Marty]

Bro is talking about excitement... Like, I got stuff in my eyes maaaan. A round-the-outside move is always boss to see, but in drifting? Is that possible? I would have never expected to see it. Just NUTS! It really is incredible to have y'all back! Yiiiieeeww, juicy high five from germany. ✨🙌🏻✨

[@HaileyHdokenHarmon]

Love seeing a true talent like Mike at the top of his game.

[@ivanarthuryandoc7594]

What a madness drift Its so great to watch you again bro, youre the legend

[@trentayye]

Keep the content rolling 🤘🏻

[@xander7099]

Not going to lie man I just watched your drifting for the first time recently. Im fairly new to the sport but dude your initiations alone were pure entertainment dude! so sick

[@Skreamies]

Glad to see yourself, the team and the car all back here together!

[@pommespeter420]

So happy you're back! I'm really looking forward to the next events :) And it's great to see how happy the fans are and put a smile on your face too! 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 :)

[@Jarmezrocks]

On ya Mikey! Everyone would have loved that. Tomoko is beautiful. You don't see that kind of fan fair anywhere else

[@omnipotentgaming166]

I’m so happy to see you at it again man I’ve been a fanboy for years! I’m working on getting my very own RX7 and I’m really close! Keep doing what you do!

[@00Towers]

i mean, we all know that podium is important but... sending that sexi beast of a car whit all that angle and that 4 rotor scream is just way too cool, and sends the right message to the fans. it was amazing to watch on video.

[@markyquindoza1792]

Great see you back, and good to see you without a mask 😷 when many had them

[@GMWsho]

Some insane drone shots right there.

[@mii2good]

That car is crazy. Creates soo much speed smoke and quickness it looked like he could’ve gapped the drifters apart even when he messed up he still caught on to them not falling behind. That’s crazy. ❤ definitely put on a show and proves driver skill

[@shaunperry811]

You are an absolute weapon! Been wondering why I haven’t seen your Ute round Mercer lately..!

[@realkilju]

i started liking rotaries beause of mike, his cars are always so cool, nothing beats the sound of a rotary engine

Holy shit Mike, that's some of the most aggressive and committed drifting I've ever seen, you went down swinging and yelling. Better to give it too much than not enough, looking forward to the next one

[@CarsPaint]

You did great man 👌🔥👏

[@shanefraser7764]

Wowweeee I hope the R.C builder gets the Treats for those awesome cars , looking Good Mike✌

[@05doitforbrock27]

🇦🇺👍 that 4 rotor sounds mad

[@koston_varjo3536]

Just out of curiousity: is the cooler at the back a water cooler so that the cooler at the front could be an intercooler? (similar to rallycross)

[@justaformer11b95]

Typically that is the way it’s set up.

[@Mister_8tee7]

Chur from Christchurch NZ Bro

[@socks2441]

11:29 so much respect for mike out there not wearing a mask. good on ya mate.

[@clovessousa7637]
