Mad Mike shreds Ebisu in the 1100hp 4rotor RX7

Thanks to Red Bull and Tomimotofilms here is a full inside look of what went down at R2 of the 2022 Formula Drift Japan Championship at Ebisu.

Boarders have finally opened to Japan for business and fortunate for MM Drifting is business. Mike also only 5 weeks ago snapped both bones in his arm, broke his collar bone plus 2x fractured ribs but will this slow him down....? It's been over 3 years since Mike has competed in competition, can he calm his excitement and drive for the judges or will he drive wild for the fans in the crazy 1100hp TCP Magic Mazda RX7 HUMBUL

It's not about winning, it's about sending a message with that Monster 4 Rotor RX-7.

As a rotary owner and lover. It’s just amazing to see this platform alive in Motorsport still. You’ve always been a hero to the rotary community and hopefully I’ll have my R3 RX8 BrapBrapping and involved in the community again soon. Glad to see you back!

That was epic! I can only but imagine how you’d have felt after such a long hiatus. And who really cares if you didn’t quite get the run dialled as you’d have liked…it was entertaining as hell!! Especially that chase where you all but passed the other guy around the back lol! You’re a great example of humility and keeping it real mate, loving your work! 👊🏼🔥🔥🤙🏼

Thank you for an amazing opportunity! Nothing beats seeing & hearing you rip the twin turbo 4 rotor in the home of drifting aka Japan!

To be out of it for so many years and still make it to 16th is an achievement on its own!
Well done man, always great watching you.

[ivanarthuryandoc]

What a madness drift Its so great to watch you again bro, youre the legend

[pommespeter]

So happy you're back! I'm really looking forward to the next events :) And it's great to see how happy the fans are and put a smile on your face too! I would really like to see Mike at Drift Masters, but that must be a huge effort for logistic. But never say never, maybe the time will come and Lincoln will hopefully also compete in professional drifting ^^ Either way, I'll always be a big fan of the whiddett's :)
