WATCH: Lawson, Van Gisbergen and Mad Mike go head to head in wild rural motorsport showdown

Three of New Zealand’s fastest and most fearless drivers go wheel-to-wheel in the ultimate rural motorsport showdown.

In this epic YouTube special, Liam Lawson, Shane van Gisbergen, and Mad Mike Whiddett tackle three wildly unpredictable challenges — from airborne ProLite truck racing over grass and jumps, to a precision drift target test, all capped off with a no-holds-barred lawnmower race finale.

These aren’t circuits they know — this is raw Kiwi turf, zero runoff, and all-out chaos. From F1 and NASCAR pedigree through to drifting legend and off-road bravado, it’s world-class talent thrown completely out of its comfort zone.

Who adapts fastest? Who sends it hardest? And who walks away with bragging rights? Dust, horsepower, carnage — and answers — await.

Watch the video below:
