Hyundai meet/show with RMR at rallycross event
OHH MAN!!! ^^^^ That was very true!!!! Found out Alot about the Veloster, Alot about Rhys him self. Told us that the Veloster for the second event EVER, and Even after breaking his sequential gear box and running the last heat with only 3 gear, that the Veloster with all its issues and bugs not even completely worked out, "Is his favorite car"!!!

It started really rocky but after it was all said and done it turned out great. Found out a lot of unpublished things about the Veloster and RMR, but honestly I think I'm gonna sit on some of the info because while we weren't asked not to repeat it I sort of got the impression some of it was somewhat secret.
It says a lot that this is Rhys Millen's favorite car. His ear to ear grin talking about it said more lol.
It's cool how many parameters the tech crew are monitoring on the rally car. There are 4 sensors on the transmission alone. It takes the crew two and a half minutes to change a clutch, or five minutes to change a transmission. I want my car to be like that. Although they did say that they could convert a Veloster to AWD for me...

I also Took awhile carefully studing the Pictures i got of the Veloster, I found a few things about the car that were kinda beat around the bush answers, but the pictures from My T2i Opened them up nicely!
Yet, I also am going to keep the peace of mind with Hyundai, and dont wanna ruin my Rep with Mr. Millen and crew, look forward to D1, and hopefully a neat setup this time around!!!

This was my third time meeting Rhys, but by far the best time. It was organized enough that he knew who we were, seemed genuinely glad that we made it out to the event.
I didn't get any word on WRC. I should have asked. If anyone knew it would have been these guys.
