Mad Mike Adds to Gold Coast Talent

A successful enduro campaign is on the line at the ARMOR ALL Gold Coast 600. Racing will be millimetre-close on the streets many have leisurely driven, as V8 Supercar drivers compete to secure the first ever PIRTEK Enduro Cup, not just showing who’s boss over the meaningful three long distance events, but taking a huge leap forward in the soon to be secured Championship.

As if that wasn’t enough, add beach concerts with big name acts and supreme supporting entertainment – it’s easy to see why the annual V8 Supercars event, running from October 25 to 27, is the ultimate party.

For those coming to see top speeds, make sure you’re there for ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett.

The drifter from New Zealand – a Red Bull sponsored professional – will hit the track for an explosive demonstration of speed and car control that is not to be missed each day of the event.

See him push the car to absolute extremes, in a no-holds barred showcase of street drifting action.

With a MotoX background, Mad Mike first competed in Freestyle MX before stepping into the drifting scene in 2006.

Having drifted all over the world – including the Red Bull World Drifting Championships in Los Angeles, where he featured in the ‘Great Eight’ – he is one of the many superstars to feature at the ARMOR ALL Gold Coast 600.
