Rhys Millen on his New Genesis, Poor Judging

Deputy Editor

I got a firsthand look at Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Genesis bodykit packages at SEMA last year, and I thought the car was pretty sweet. From what I can tell, the ride he’s racing in Formula D is sporting the same carbon fiber panels, and in addition to being drift-ready, it’ll be able to handle the Pike’s Peak Hill Climb and run time attack. But while a lot of development has gone into the new machine, Millen hasn’t been having the best season. The former champ is currently running 15th in the standings, and in this clip, he doesn’t sound too happy about the judging. Hopefully, he’ll have some better luck in New Jersey next weekend.

Awesome Genesis, RedBull did an incredible job with the Aerodynamics for that ride. I wanna see that car in action for the Time Attack.

Yeah, that car is awesome, and I love the idea of a Drift car being built for other stuff, as I dream of doing that at a more local “fun” level.

Remember though, when Rhys makes those comments about hopping to D1, it was before the FD had announced the TV deal with VS.
No way he is going to jump ship now…
Besides I can’t find any TV info on D1′s site…

600hp?? thats crazy! and its well-rounded for many types of races, thats pretty cool. Most cars out there are made for one thing and one thing only. and that bodykit is amazing
