Mazform

This past weekend at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival 2026 was another incredible celebration of motorsport. The wet weather may have dampened the crowd numbers, but it certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those who attended.
It’s a truly unique event where you can get up close to an amazing variety of racing machines — from historic Formula One cars and V8 Supercars to classic race cars and superbikes.
The Mazda Cosmo Sport from the Mazform collection was invited as a display vehicle for Shannons Insurance, and it drew plenty of attention throughout the weekend — alongside many other stunning Mazdas proudly on show.
A personal highlight for me was being part of a rotary photo shoot on a section of the old Adelaide Street Circuit Grand Prix track. With rotary legend Mad Mike Whiddett attending this year’s festival, it was a special moment for all of us rotary enthusiasts.
True to form, Mike didn’t disappoint. Known worldwide for his passion for building and driving extraordinary rotary-powered machines, he was incredibly generous with his time — sharing his story and enthusiasm with everyone around him.
Watching his driving skills firsthand in two of his incredible creations, MADBUL and MADMAC, was simply awe-inspiring.
A fantastic weekend surrounded by amazing machines, passionate people, and the unmistakable sound of rotary power.
