Lord March"s driveway is tricky enough driven straight just ask Pat Doran let alone at a steady and consistent 45-degree angle. But New Zealander Mad Mike Whiddett, known for his love of smokey drifting and rotary-engined Mazdas, does not know how to drive in a straight line. You"ve seen him scare March"s butler half to death in his Trophy Truck, now watch him drive his 1,200bhp quad-rotor Mazda MX5 up the hill at this weekend"s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Sideways, obviously. Mike"s a bit of a FoS veteran. He was there last year, and the year before. But we reckon this year"s run trumps all. The level of sideways on display here is astounding he even gets crossed-up around the Flint Wall and through Molecomb, the scene of many an embarrassing accident. Run of the weekend?Share this page: FacebookTwitterGoogle+WhatsAppMailtoCopy link
