Mad Mike wins Formula Drift Thailand!
Over the weekend, Mad Mike Whiddett was up in Thailand competing in his quad-rotor Mazda RX-7 at the Formula D Asia Pacific Drift Championship in Thailand. Just sorting the HKS sequential gearbox (which was stuck in customs all week after being transported from NZ to Thailand) in time for the first practice, Mike went out and was told by the judges he was the most impressive on the track with the fastest speed, best line and best angle.
After spinning on his first qualifying pass and nudging the wall, Mike qualified in third position (out of 57 entrants) on his second of two qualifying passes, behind Malaysia’s Tengku Djan and ex-D1GP champion, Ryuji Miki.
In rain-affected battle conditions, Mike slid all the way to the top of the podium, eventually beating Miki in the finals for the top spot! Congratulations, Mike! More details to follow once Mike gets back from riding elephants. Apparently.
