Just found this photo of the RX8 drift car recently built for 'Mad Mike' to compete in our D1 series . Will endevour to find out more . I have worked on this car when it was in the production class series last year but only just twigged it was the same car .

 

sexy

 

just found this link on the build . Aparently they tried it with the stock motor to start with and found it to be lacking .....

no mazda sponsorship?

interesting.

 

Don't think drifting is something any of the dealers sponsor over here ...

 

yeah, but mazda co. should want at least some sticker if the car is going to be seen by the public, i would think...

it's finished !!!!

 

Can't wait to see the widebody

 

damn I never thought I'd say this but that 8 sure looks sexier than its brother

 

omg its pure sex for my eyes to look at that car

 

need video

 

stole this from another thread

DAMN! Pure Hawtness right there! Wish I could drive like that...

 

Yeah under the hood looks great, but watching the video...I get that the suspension is stiff, but the form looks off when he enters a corner bouncing like an old school stroller. Doesn't quite look right to me.

 

I also no longer wonder why redbull costs a bazillion dollars a can....they sponser...EVERYTHING.

 

Sick to see mad mike in an 8, but that 26b FD will be missed. That thing was nuts, especially at WDC. It absolutely plowed through those barriers and didnt stop for anything.

 

nice bull...
