Mad Mike drifts BADBUL around the Franschhoek Pass!! When ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett comes to Britain, he mostly drifts around clusters of mini-roundabouts in Swindon. South Africa doesn’t have many mini-roundabouts, hence Whiddett’s latest video, which features much drifting and precisely zero mini-roundabouts.
Mad Mike drifts BADBUL around the Franschhoek Pass!!
The challenge is called ‘Conquer the Cape’, and it’s set on South Africa’s Franschhoek Pass. It’s a nine mile mountain pass that ascends 468 metres and normally has a speed limit of between 25 and 60mph. Whiddett hit 154mph in his quite ridiculous-sounding 800-odd bhp Mazda RX-8 quad-rotor drift car, often coming perilously close to a sheer drop into the valley below.
Let’s take a look at this video of the Mazda RX8 BADBUL being drifted around the iconic Franschhoek pass in South Africa!!
