Ignore the idiotic American's posts in the comments.  I think they are jealous that Hyundai is gaining ground by the day while American manufacturers are slipping into bankruptcy at an alarming rate.  Darwinism?

Absolutely brilliant... Just a few comments (unusual for me)

It goes without saying but his car control is magnificent! Love to see him do Targa Tas in a Genesis  mrgreen

There is no way Targa Tas would get away with having Spectators on the outside of corners like that  icon_eek

Wonder what sort of tyres they used (I want some  icon_exclaim)

Thanks L.D. Riveting stuff  icon_cool

Impressive driving.

With BMW leaving the F1 next year maybe Hyundai should make a bid for all their old gear and start a team biggrin

Hey Dazz, did you see that Eric Bana's movie about driving his car in the Targa is now out on DVD? It's quite good!

Love the Beast is good, but it's the sort of movie you'll only "get" if you love your cars. Probably not many people found it a tear-jerker, but I did.  Cry

I took someone who likes cars but doesn't get attached to them and she thought it (and I) was crazy  icon_lol

That's awesome. First fully filmed run I've seen since Ari Vataanen's Peugeot WRC in the late 1980's.
Actually, they seem to have sealed some of the course and added armco since then. Although, maybe they were selective in the Peugeot footage. Especially worth a look to get some idea of the drops off the side up high. If I can find the link I'll post it up here. I know it's not a Hyundai but for comparison purposes it's worth a look. Try this one.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-K1B4sTX4o
Also I assume Rhys Millen is the son of Rod Millen, a Kiwi rally driver who made the move to the US years ago and made Pike's Peak his own for many years (originally in RX7s).

Yep thats him.  One of the worst accents I've heard, a yank x Kiwi!  icon_lol

Vatanan's video definitely looks a lot more 'white knuckled' that Rhys's.  That sun glare and dust looked killer.

On another note, check out Rhy's Genesis coupe with a Tau V8 mid mounted  Still has a lot of tuning work to go obviously from the figures....

I've always been fascinated the way he casually takes his hand off the wheel, mid corner to shade his eyes.
And the bit where he's lining up for a left hander and his RR wheel almost hangs over the abyss.  icon_cool
