Video: Watch Mike Whiddett’s MADBUL RX-7 Tear Up Leadfoot 2015

The MADBUL is a four-rotor powered Mazda RX-7. Ridiculous.

Driving at the 2015 Leadfoot Festival in Hahei, New Zealand, drifter “Mad” Mike Whiddett made charging up this windy course literally a walk in the park. Posted on ” target=”_blank”>Whiddett’s YouTube channel, we get a point of view that shows the technicality of Whiddett’s driving prowess in his four-rotor powered Mazda RX-7.

Dubbed the MADBUL, Whiddett’s RX-7 screams through the course with reckless abandonment. He gets the car sideways with such ease, we wonder where are Daijiro Yoshihara or Ken Block to make it a tandem?

The course at the Leadfoot Festival looks to be quite tight and full of hairpin turns. Whippet’s speed through the course is remarkable, utilizing extraordinary throttle and hand brake control.

Wide body goodness gives the RX-7 crazy curves.

The 2015 Leadfoot Festival was full of thrills, bringing together a mix of vintage motorcycles, classic cars, and motorsports legends. With limited tickets available, it is a private event held by racing competitor Rod Millen.

Automobiles ranging from classic formula and road race cars to off-road machines and motorcycles, the Leadfoot Festival every year attracts drivers, riders and race cars reminiscent of many eras in a wonderful display of speed, style, and sound.

Not to mention, Rod Millen personally selects championship racers from across the globe to receive the coveted invitation to participate in the Leadfoot Festival.

What are your thoughts on Whiddett’s driving and the Leadfoot Festival? Is Whiddett’s technique good or does it need work? Feel free to comment below.
