For the first time ever, the Crown Range, New Zealand’s highest tarmac road, was closed off to the public so that Mad Mike Whiddett, and his 750bhp, 4 rotor Mazda RX-7 sponsored by the energy-rich crew from Red Bull could go drifting! Mad Mike hits speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour over the course of the road’s six and a half miles, which boasts 47 individual corners at over 3,500 feet of elevation. Scroll down for all kinds of fire-belching, tire-squealing and smoke-inducing action. Or, as Mad Mike himself puts it, “A dream turned into reality.”<\/p>\n
