On the Track with RADBUL | Mad Mike Drifts Highlands

» Watch Mad Mikes 360° POV of his run: win.gs/Highlands360
Smoke, speed and precision driving… just another day in the office for Mad Mike.
At the highest level of professional drifting, race cars are thrown sideways at speeds topping 200km/h. They are precision instruments engineered for a purpose.
Kiwi drift driver Mad Mike Whiddett and his newest - and arguably craziest - addition to his Mazda factory-backed stable of machinery yet, a Mazda MX-5 named RADBUL, is a fine replica of this.
Down at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell, Otago, New Zealand, Mad Mike Whiddett takes his custom four-rotor, twin turbo 26B rotary engine and drifts around the challenging and technical track, showing us that he has the skills, the team and the machine to put the car exactly where he wants.
Take a behind the scenes look at what it took to pull off the shoot!

I thought those were drone shots. That's a really big drone!

[@Avriox]

[@Stryke607]

+Blake's Garage since there is a pilot in there, it is per definition not a drone.

[@DogsGottaEat]

New invention: a drone so big that a man can sit inside it and control it from there! What will they think of next?

[@BlakesGarage]

Dogs Gotta Eat Not sure? LOL

[@lunch2102]

2:06 possibly the best 8 seconds of video I think I've seen on KZbin

[@danisaelwm]

The speed he carried in some of those corners is insane. Loved the 360 video with the go-pro cube!

[@AndrewTSq]

Wow, this was so awesome on so many levels. The driving was ace, the photography was ace, the track looked awesome with the mountains in the background. Im impressed.

[@JayJVee]

Really enjoyed this. You Redbull guys get some THE best action shots that Ive ever seen. Awesome to see the effort and thought behind finding those angles you guys get. Thanks for a great video

[@BrownerBoy101]

Somebody please tell me what that helmet is called! D:

[@littlesleepiht]

speedhunters helmets

[@DeltaCressida]

nice helmet

[@grewalmanji6906]

Why did u add a giant spoiler? Did it need more down force or somethin

[@emgaming2004]

looks

[@buckorooster]

+Grewal Manji Big Wang Gang

[@emgaming2004]

The wing makes lift. Downforce is not required in a drift car.

[@NneonNTJ]

how much hp does that car produce?

[@jonathankeith524]

I don't know about the horsepower, but it definitely has enough torque to open a fresh bottle of ketchup.

[@Phiiiiiil]

Pretty sure it's right around the 1200 mark, seen some things say 1400+ though.. so not too sure. Insane either way for a mx5 lol

[@NneonNTJ]

Phil ok thats overkill :p

[@JOHNKLERK69]

800+-

[@darionfarina2069]

Neon 1200

[@LacedUpLando]

I heard that this car is power for pound. Like the power that the car produces is equal to the weight of it

[@Ace-ps8mw]

Eric Nunez I doubt that

[@youarenotspecial]

i could see that it is a 4 rotor twin so it putting out at least 1000+ hp.

[@pknerdzz]

the car is putting out about 1200bhp but its claimed it can do 1500 with the current setup

[@partyboi69er]

With a mixture of 100RON gasoline and Mobil 2-stoke oil in the fuel cell, 1,032hp on a low boost pressure setting was the result of the inaugural dyno tuning session at PPRE. The engine was built for much more though, and according to Warren there’s 1,500hp easy and that capability would be mated with short wheelbase chassis that tips the scales at less than 1,000kg.

[@BryanGarcia-qb2ov]

Eric Nunez makes 1200 hp claims it can do 1500 weighs about 1500 so yea horse per pound

[@tony2319]

👍👍👍

[@jabor670]

is that a miata?!

[@Nik.Coffman]

1000+ bhp in a MX5 is an absolute mind fuck

[@minime453]

Cant be the only person to think the driver looks like ninja

[@sweetwater7667]

I want this car in real life.

[@user-is2st4ls5y]

[@Rigg15]

I really liked that dudes toilet paper scarf .

[@Sgt_RED]

is that a spartan helmet? :O (halo)

[@catwithshotgun1332]

RЄD YES.... He is a Spartan

[@RED-pi9wo]

lol 3:03 "What the fuck"

[@ikonds6826]

Lmfao i like how i thought this car was just an insane track car. When i tried it on PCARS i turned the first corner and my wheel just locked up to the side of the corner and im like "The fuck is going on?" and then i realised, this car aint for track its for drift lol

[@mgytv3505]

awesome!👍 but the RX7 is the best

[@erasmus_locke]

Sounds like a giant version of kim kardashian crying

[@PoPKorNchIeF]

mate i want that helmet :( !!

[@FedorFessor]

Как же я хочу на ней повваливать...

[@liam4127]

yea kiwi driver

[@williamp5135]

R.I.P tires

[@TheBonusChallenge]

Serious, why that wing? It does not need grip...

[@thorkil_1487]

+TheBonusChallenge yeah but with more pressure on the rear axle he can burn more rubber because there is more grip you need to compensate with power i think and that is what all this is about isn't it?

[@skaali]

+TheBonusChallenge Actually at those speeds you kinda need grip or it would just slide 'round, hence the horsepowers of the d1 cars to get the tires spinning even with the downforce.

[@berjel1997]

+TheBonusChallenge Grip is very much necessary, without grip their would be no way to control the drifts

[@Isaac_GMspecialist]

+DutchCrusader its not for grip its for the tire smoke to get a better scoring in drifting events

[@mitchellsimmons2772]

Fu** them rotary engines go hard

[@oKoctan]

rad bul ?!

[@jeremybarker5510]

Drifting in a Miata. That's very bizarre if you think about it.

[@sytth3248]

mx5*

[@PeaceWithM3]

how is it bizarre? i drift my lsd 1.8 with only coil overs

[@jeremybarker5510]

average person Miata and MX-5 are the same thing.

[@kennethbowman3784]

Not really. It's a super light car and even with all season tires I managed to drift my stock miata (albeit, not very well). But it's easier than you think.
