BUILDING A DRIFT MCLAREN | PT6

MADMAC has ARRIVED!

This is my craziest challenge to date, turning Lanzante’s custom built McLaren using P1GTR and GT3 goodies and then transform it into the world's wildest drift hypercar - in only 100 days!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be cutting into a multi-million dollar McLaren with no rules, and then unveiling it at one of my favourite events on earth - the Goodwood Festival of Speed!

MADMAC in my eyes will truly be the maddest McLaren in existence, if I can turn this dream into a reality…

I love the sincerity at the end... Thank you editors for leaving that in!

Well damn, I didn't expect a MM video to make me tear up at 2:18 in the morning. Loved watching this build its been so good

[skFriberg]

I understand it feels like you're letting your son down not going with him to his races but I can assure you he's more motivated than ever when he sees his father thrive and succeed. You're a bloody legend, he knows that, and there's no doubt in my mind you're his biggest role model. He's proud of you for still following your dreams when you could've easily taken a step back at this point.

The world needs more cool dudes like Mad Mike !

[MentalSpud]

That ending cut deep. There we all were enjoying an absolute mad build, to having our eyes opened to what it costs personally! Huge love & respect Mike 🫡 do everyone proud!

Hey Mike. Thank you for the realness and raw emotion you chose to share in this video. I doubt that is easy to put out to the world. Who knows how many people you have helped over the years. As a 40yo kiwi bloke that had FURSTY poster from the centerfold of I think 4s and rotor magazine on my bedroom wall until the paper gave out.. Your content that you have put out especially recently is absolutely top notch. The example you set in seemingly every interaction be it a fan family or friend paired with the pure infectious joy that you express piles tears on top of the eargasms any sane person encounters when they hear a rotor. My mission in the next 12 months is to shake your hand and see you in action. #ROTANGCLAN

Mike your kids are so lucky to have a role model like you, absolute genuine legend. Not to mention the team of legends that work with you. Huge respect.

[CallTheCousins]

The heart strings were pulled hard at the end!!
I really pray this is the car that takes drifting to historic tracks and gets to shred them! The car world would loose their mind seeing this thing full sideways through the mountain at Spa! Can't wait to see what's next!

[driftworks]

Awesome work on the car Mike and the whole team! It looks like a handful, but in a fun way. P.S. right in the fkcin feels at the end! Keep up the good work 😎

But is anyone going to comment on how well Alec did jumping onto the hay bale!!😂🤘🏽

[ollie_kew]

Honoured to make a small cameo in this film and that ride was one of the highlights of the year. Congrats to Mike, Dean and the whole Madlab/Lanzante family from us all at TopGear! 🤙🏻

I was lucky to have five minutes with Mike and his family on the K&N stand at Goodwood on the thursday.

Hes such a genuine normal guy thats mad on cars just like we all are. You certainly inspire me Mike to get in the garage build my car and then go as hard as I can on the track. Thank you Mike 👍

[MosesThePug]

Luck doesn't exist. That's hard work and sacrifice. Well done guys.

[UncleManuel]

Mad props for leaving that emotional end in. This crazy lifestyle takes a toll of having all that pressure all the time and living in the spotlight. It's no wonder that the family life suffers. Mike really cares about people and especially his family. 😎🤘

[MotiveVideo]

Incredible build. Have enjoyed watching your hard work lead to success since our first video together in 2006. Thanks for the sneak peak back in June and thanks for the kick up the bum to make my Goodwood trip happen. Was an incredible experience.

[mikeyjenkins]

Honestly dude you're the most humblest lunatic that we thoroughly enjoy you don't take for granted nothing and I bet that you're success over r the past 16 years has stemmed from how humble and genuine you are

[Gumbal]

It was great seeing you at Goodwood! Definitely the highlight of this years edition! Well done en hope to see you next year again! 😎🔥

[jeffkeen]

That’s why we Aussies love our Kiwi Motorsport brothers!!! You got a cool dad there Link…

[TomtheY]

Nah, you got me tearing up at the end like that. It’s your commitment that got him there, he see where commitment gets you & will succeed for it. You’ll see Linc become World Champ one day.

[Badboy]

An absolutely crazy build. Its awesome to see that passion behind it and to get a glimpse of what goes into a mammoth build like this. Thank you to the entire MadLab team. An epic way to showcase NZ talent.
