Mad Mike's Greek Tour 2026 Was Absolute Chaos

The Red Bull Mad Mike Greek Tour 2026 was an explosive three-stop drift exhibition headlined by iconic New Zealand drifter "Mad" Mike Whiddett.

Spanning late May to mid-June 2026, the tour converted three unique Greek destinations into smoke-filled drift arenas, drawing thousands of motorsport fans..

Stop 1: Heraklion, Crete Island (30 May 2026)

Mad Mike shared the tarmac with top local Greek drivers, Lebanese drift champion Abdo Feghali, and Natalya Haritonova ("Naty Drift Girl")

Stop 2: Portaria Hillclimb, Pelion (6–7 June 2026)

The tour moved inland to the winding, mountainous roads of Pelion. Whiddett showcased extreme hillclimb drifting on the legendary "Mountain of the Centaurs," adding aggressive, high-speed tire smoke to a classic local hillclimb course.

Stop 3: Aristotelous Square, Thessaloniki (10 June 2026)

The grand finale of the Greek tour wrapped up in the heart of Thessaloniki. The tight, urban configuration of the city center square was transformed into a tight drift track for an aggressive final layout.

The tour served as the perfect platform for high-profile motorsport highlights:

Pikes Peak Mazda: Mad Mike showcased his boundary-pushing, custom-built Mazda machinery, built heavily on the pedigree of his Pikes Peak record-shattering builds.

New Partnership: Right at the start of the tour on 30 May, Mad Mike officially announced a new global partnership aligning his fleet with Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil.

Additional Talent: Elite stunt rider Sarah Lezito joined the tour to push the limits alongside Whiddett during the final urban stop.
