Mad Mike Whiddett was arguably the man of the FoS weekend this year, sliding and screaming up a storm in his 1000 horsepower four-rotor RX-8, giving Lord March the ride of his life and the crowds a spectacular show. He’s famously a huge fan of the Festival of Speed and was hugely honoured by the Driver of the Event award that was presented to him by Lord March on the Sunday.

Video: Mad Mike Shows Us Around FOS 2016
Being such a fan and such a key participant and personality at this year’s FoS, he took a tour of the Festival on camera with Red Bull to give an insight into what his Festival of Speed was like.
In the video, Mike takes us through his significantly updated RX-8 (which hasn’t been at FoS since 2014) which has new turbos and heightened boost. A surprise appearance from Ken Block is interesting too, as the drivers reflect on their FoS experiences as well as each others talents. Mike also reflects on his chauffeur duties with Lord March, and his award at the end. How great was it to see Mad Mike and the Badbul at FoS this year
