To most of us, "Mad" Mike Whiddett is a drifting icon. A star of viral RedBull action videos, a BMX and Freestyle motocross rider, and one of the most successful New Zealand exports. But this status wasn’t just handed to him on a silver platter. Quite the opposite in fact. We sit down with Mike for a candid talk about the early days of NZ car scene, his passion for drifting and the racing career of his son - Lincoln. Enjoy:)

For our last video this year we've got a bit of a treat for you.

Been a big supporter of Mike for a long time. Met him many years ago at Gold Coast Indy and he had his rx7 there (pretty much the whole reason I went there). Mike happily chatted and showed things on his car. Awesome guy. Wish him all the best.

He is the proof you don't need to win to be good not saying he is not good tho. He understood building a brand.

Mike used to attract Hate for the exact thing he is explaining. Pushing boundaries, being wild , having wild cars clothing etc. He was forging his own path and rising above it and thats a great way to look at it. And yes he had the baddest cars lol

I remember watching radbul being built and then him coming to orlando for formula drift, i was never really interested in rotaries until i saw his cars and content, seeing Mike and hearing radbul in person was an insane and probably my best motorsport experience.

I've met Mike a few times... he's a super friendly, approachable guy. His kids have the coolest dad ever!

So (for me) this is a perfect example of you should never judge a book by its cover. I dont follow the drift scene, but I appreciate the engineering that goes into the builds. Clearly Mike... is extremely talented.... and Ive only really seen snippets of him from social media etc. Unfortunately i drew a conclusion of a guy that i never knew and how wrong i was. He is a genuine, down to earth individual who deserves to embrace and enjoy all the success he has.

Always nice seeing the backstories, even more so when they have created their own path and succeeded. Here's one for MM if he wants a challenge on a project/something different. He should build a Rotary powered Chevy Vega as it was initially intended for or a Chevy Monza 2+2 as its final option. Could be something right up Mr MM alley.

Scott you should narrate audiobooks I have watched and listened to you for years as you drag the MCM rigs bag from the brink of knock knock. You have a fine cadence and an understanding of topic that is sorely missing from (I am in my bathroom with towels over the shower screens or in a much much smaller audio booth than I should be) voiceover youtube team. You rip and made the vid nice work man happy 2023

The best drivers and racers are the best at marketing. Hands down. They sell shit by doing what they love. Unlike a car salesman that hates their job. He has the dream job
