This is the first ever Genesisforums.org petition. What's this petition for?

We want to let Hyundai know that we as enthusiasts want to see Rhys Millen in some type of racing avenue (example: Drifting) using the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in 2009.

All you have to do is go to the link below at petitiononline.com and add your signature. Perhaps with our collective effort we can convince Hyundai it would be a mistake NOT to let Rhys Millen drive "The Art of Speed" Genesis Coupe.

Let's make this happen!

Like I already said...this needs to happen

 

[Lord Calvert]

I second that motion, you'd have to be crazy to let Rhys Millen (2008 world drift champion!) slip to another car company.

Hyundai, you would be missing the publicity opportunity of a lifetime, don't let this pass you by. We as enthusiasts of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe want this, to be able to brag on Hyundai and the reprsentative car that makes us all want to own one. I work for one of your numerous dealerships and have for over 10 years. I've seen how this company has grown and gotten recognized. This is just one more step in the right direction. Hyundai has been willing to take chances, which is part of what has gotten them where they are today, don't stop now. We want Rhys Millen to be our representative driver and it's up to you to make it happen.
Thanks

I also would like this car racing. My first Hyundai was a 1987 Excel, 4-door automatic with a sunroof and Panasonic Stereo tape player. I've now come full circle and want to get into a Hyundai again and with RMR racing one people would have less reason NOT to buy a Hyundai. Come on Hyundai!

Hi I registered to vote for this... not many people interested?!?!?!?!? I would really like to see Rhys Millen drifting this. Previously I hoped that Robbie Nishida, Tyler McQuarrie or Daijiro Yoshihara would get this but since two of them are now in Falken Drift team and Rob has an awesome Z33, I'd love to see Rhys Millen doing it for us.

Oh yeah I'm from Sydney, Australia... soon to be in Pasadena CA

 

[Tufast]

Thanks for chiming in rich_hobo & welcome to the site. Haven't I seen you somehwhere B4

 

[Lord Calvert]

Maybe this should be on the frontpage of the site to get more exposure what do you think Sabba, Tufast?

 

[Tufast]

Yeah, I think it should, but leave the poster give away with it, it helps to draw new members.

 

[rich_hobo]

i dunno tufast... have i?

 

[Sebas007]

I agree too. Hyundai has to let Rhys Millen race with his gen coupe

 

[PowerAXEL]

Question? Does RMR want this?

I sure love to see them in race with Hyundai at any event, but we need to know RMR's opinion as well?

 

[Lord Calvert]

Looks like a certain other genesis forum isn't to keen on rhys millen driving the hyundai car for hyundai, I checked to see if there was any replies to it and the thread is gone there now. Oh well!

 

[GenesisFan]

I'm all for Rhys racing in that SEMA Genesis coupe.

 

[PowerAXEL]

To race certain competition, the company must see possibility to achieve the car's best potential by reviewing the regulation in terms of (1) classification (some don't have homologation for this car, since its not officially launched in USA), (2) entry levels like unlimited FR, limited FR, Street FR classes which there are so many cars in this category like Honda S2000 240hp n/a, Acura RSX 200hp n/a, Lancer Evo 4wd 300hp turbo, Subaru Sti 300hp turbo 4wd etc., (3) gross hp vs weight ratio to see any advantages....and on and on...

My experiences are from Korean Automobile Racing Association work under Tuning Committee.

Consider above issues, what if race team do not win once for full year. Oh....I think Rhys is best driver, but car may not be at full potential at the moments. 3.8 may be better advantages starting with 303hp I think?

If the car wasn't born to drift like AE86, it take time to make the car to move drift style which means need car to setup to act whatever driver demands.

Within next 3 months to prep additonal race spec for engine, test, race, I think its very difficult to consider.

Cool guy doing well with Pontiac Solice or something car, don't want to see him suffer w/o good result. My opinion.

PoweRAXEL, I agree, I don't want to see Rhys lose or even do poorly. It would be negative publicity for him & the vehicle, but he built this car & feels that it can compete, at least on some level. He did say that he would drive it, but it was up to Hyundai now to decide that. Being realistic, if he does race this car, he may not do as well as most would hope since this is a new combination for him & the car. I would expect some break in time to allow him to get aquainted with the vehicle, but then it would have to happen sooner or later. I'm not pretending I know anything about drifting or much about racing in general, although I do know some about driving. I'm just looking at it logically & I think it would be great publicity to get Hyundai's name out there on a car with a driver like Rhys. But, if it's not feasable nor is there a possibility of him winning due to the shear mass of this vehicle, then I agree he should not race it. But, I'm hoping that isn't the case.:read:

Thanks for setting this up. Seems another forum had an issue with my thread to sign a petition. It's all good though.

 

[Tufast]

Why is this poll up twice?

 

[Tufast]

Why is this thread listed twice? By the way sabbasaun sent you a PM the other day, did you get it.?
