Liam Lawson snagged the win in a wild red bull drift cart showdown down in Australia, beating out Isaac Hadjar and a couple other hot shots. This off-track fun had the racing bulls-drivers testing their skills on a custom track built by drifting legend Mad Mike Woodhead. Lawson topped the field after nailing every slide like a pro. The challenge packed and clipping a close wall, ripping a tight clockwise donut, threading a figure eight through a slick water balloon zone, and parking smooth in a con spot. Joining Lawson and Hadjar were supercars, champ Will Brown and Aussie DJ Fisher as the wildcard. These red bull perks let the races flex in drifting far from the usual formula circuits. Hadjar caked it off first with a rocky wall hit, but crushed the parking. Lawson admitted he was straight up nervous watching that, saying it got his nerves firing more than recent races.

1:00Brown and Fisher ran solid heats too, keeping the energy high as the leaderboard heated up. Lawson cleaned house through the course, racking up 1,400 points to lead over Brown 750 with Hadjar and Fisher. Tied at 350, everyone hyped on how tricky the steering lock and four wheel slides fell. In the grand finale tandem battle, Lawson shadowed Brown's every move perfectly to seal the victory and grabbed the trophy. He called it unreal fun, way more nerve racking than track days, proving these side gigs keep the drivers sharp and smiling.
