Rhys Millen and Hyundai Genesis Coupe Formula Drift at Irwindale Speedway
ID: 34247
Watch Rhys "Mad Skilz" Millen take second place at Formula DRIFT Round 7: Title Fight, in his 650HP Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
After placing 5th in qualifying, Hyundai and Rhys Millen Racing had an exciting weekend of close races and intense competition. Rhys pushed his Genesis Coupe to its limits around the banks and hi-speed turns of Irwindale Speedway in front of a sold out crowd. After making it to the finals taking on Tyler McQuarrie and the Falken Tires 350z, Rhys pushed a bit too hard and touched the bank which cost him the 1st place win. We're very excited to end our 3rd season of competition in Formula Drift on a high note and look forward to coming back next year and continuing this momentum.
Thank you to all our fans for coming out and supporting us!
