Font size

Over the weekend, 'Mad Mike' was in Australia in his MadBul RX-7 and Speedhunters was there to take some great shots!

Update by Mimo:
The Tectaloy International Drift Challenge is taking place this August (5th-6th) at Eastern Creek in Aussie and now has two kiwi lads trying to win the event. First, Gaz Whiter confirmed his entry  in the event and now we have news that crazed drift kingpin Mad Mike Whiddett will be taking the skills he’s learned in the USA Formula D and laying them out on the Aussie track.
Mike’s weapon of choice will be his infamous MADBUL quad rotor peripheral port RX-7 for what will be his first competitive outing across the ditch.
With continued backing from Red Bull, Mad Mike is currently busy carving out a career in the world of professional drift and has competed in both the NZ Drift Series in the RX7 and Formula D in the USA in his 20B powered RX8.
So it’s set to be a August showdown between old rivals Gaz Whiter and Mad Mike Whiddett with the Aussies enjoying the spectacle. Always competitive, Mad Mike had this to say about the upcoming match up, “Gaz and I aren’t afraid to push each other and swap a bit of paint along the way. We are sure going to do the kiwis proud and I can’t wait to put on an explosive show for the Australian supporters.”
There it is, keep an eye out for more news leading up to the Tectaloy International Drift Challenge this August.
