IN the Lanzante shop, who was the offical shop of the McLaren F1 GTR.. that is not any normal shop.. it’s the holy grail of McLaren shops outside of the HQ. A lot of really amazing custom made cars have come out of that shop.. like.. super high end hot rod stuff
@@evilisforbidden3981 hear me out, what if Forza Horizon 6 was in New Zealand?? It’s close to Japan geographically and PGG could use that and make Japan an expansion map. New Zealand has tons of different biomes too🤷🏼♂️
Normally when you see a McLaren of any stripe going sideways, it's not for very long and/or the driver is about to be in a lot of trouble. This is amazing.
Absolutely brilliant, and that run was in the wet and still dam mad fantastic. Fantastic to see Mad Mike succeed in this marathon build. Only fresh to track, with bugger all track time, great to see no real teething problems. Crikey i have been in a 427 purpose built Drift Monaro.... smashed just over that 300km/h in a 50 k Street, have been thru Turn 1 at QLD Raceway, at 200k throwing it sideways..... this is phenomenal feel and by crikey, just look at that grin on Mad Mikes face, it says it all. Fantastic video, chat and demo. MAD MIKE MAKES SURE KIWIS CAN FLY!!!!
This whole video is just wild. An -Australian- New Zealand bloke with a -Bondi Beach- surfers bod, with blonde dreads, who drifts, for RedBull, and drives a 3-rotor swapped McLaren 650S GT3 dresses up as a McLaren P1 GTR, with a complete widebody kit, with rally inspired aero Rotiform wheels up with deeeeep dish wheels in the back, AND the exhaust tips placement… What a mad combination.
Amazing craftsmanship shown... Nothing is impossible for this guy... By far one of the best car builders out there.. Mad Lab... You guys knocked this one out of the park... I loved the Lambo build... But this👌👌👌☝️
Love some of the extra detail about Bruce Maclaren and what the Goodwood Festival means to Mike. Just inspires me to save my money so I can get there one day.
This is build is so insane. I love every bit of it, even though it makes a little sad to see a McLaren P1 cut up and all that lmao but with that being said, the quality and the literal art put into it and the attention to detail makes me say oh what the hell what they did with this is incredible.
They didn't cut up a P1. They took an old 650S GT3 racecar tub and bolted Lanzante's P1 GTR body panels (which they normally use to convert regular P1s into P1 GTRs) onto it. There's nothing from a factory McLaren P1 here.
I laughed when he said not scary just hilarious in a mad way......If hadnt ben raining and mike could of given it the full send in the dry , i would say he would be frightened. 😄
There also using a motor that has no aftermarket everything they are doing has never been done. Sure this has never been done ether but rotary is tried and true.

@@R34Sumo yeh the ECU has very very little to do with the uniqueness or amazingness of this car or the guy. Typical aussies always trying to claim the best parts of NZ as their own.
What an amazing build ! This is truly one of a kind , especially turning it into a pro driftcar.. What they achieved in 100 days is nothing short of spectacular 😮 But every video on it says it's a P1 driftcar... it's a 650s gt3 with P1 GTR bodykit, and with an added rocket bunny widebody. So it never had the hybrid system or the P1 spec engine. Cutting a real P1 into pieces would just be crazy... Man, this thing is CRAZYYYY
This build is extraordinary, it really shows what madmike can drive and really takes it to the limit. It really is outstanding the power the McLaren can push, just shows you how powerful it is and how much boost it has.
Did ya'll hear this man??He said he doesn't show off any wealth he's rich in car's...Now this is a real one he loves what he does and what really got me is the hat to the back.....MAD MIKE you can come to my hood any day to hang out bud you're the man!!!!Down to earth type of dude.....
They did ruin the car. Why ruin a P1 and turn it into a drift car 😂 He could’ve done this setup with any other McLaren, why the p1 man that’s a violation itself. If McLaren was Ferrari they would’ve sued for sure
@@RK-fi8esunless I’m mistaken, it’s not based on a P1 but instead on the white 650s gt3 car they showed in the vid, with some P1 GTR panels. So they’ve “ruined” the GT3 car, not the P1.

People need to stop complaing about what type of McLaren it is and enjoy it
Who are you to dictate what others do? Sit there and shut up.
No. They are completely different cars. A 650s costs 150k and a p1 is 2 mil
Well said mate people need grow up stop moaning and end day it's not up to them

he was scared when he was testing the car in NZ lol
Was gonna say the exact same thing, if it was dry he'd be bricking it
All because of 80's Tamiya RC cars 👍🏽
I loved my Tamiya RC car. Had a Hornet, then upgraded to a Falcon.
But then when Kyoshu cars after that. Better 4wD
Lanzante built three life size running versions of the r/c cars which were shown at FOS about ten years ago
This is what DDE was trying to accomplish for 2.5 yearss and their car is stilll broken down and used for clickbait every 3 weeks 😂😂😂
There also using a motor that has no aftermarket everything they are doing has never been done. Sure this has never been done ether but rotary is tried and true.
DDe didn’t get donated a hypercar and don’t have an unlimited red bull money
DDE are doing it legit, not being gifted one. They also don’t have an army of mechanics and money from RedBull.
Red Bull paying for the build. 😅
