Oxnard Hyundai Confirms, Hyundai Genesis Coupe and Rhys Millen Racing Partner to Compete in 2012 Formula Drift Series

April 10, 2012 – Oxnard, Calif. – Oxnard Hyundai is excited to confirm, Hyundai Motor America announced its continued partnership with Rhys Millen Racing (RMR) to compete in the 2012 Formula Drift series.

Hyundai will be lead sponsor of the RMR Genesis Coupe driven by former Formula Drift champion and acclaimed stunt driver, Rhys Millen.

Available at dealerships now, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is significantly refreshed for the 2013 model year, with aggressive powertrain and styling enhancements sure to appeal to purist, rear-drive sport coupe buyers. The Formula Drift competitive car has been extensively drift-prepared by RMR, making more than 600 horsepower to create the extreme drift angles and blinding smoke both fans and judges love to see. This race-prepared powertrain is further evidence of the engineering durability of core Hyundai production engine components used, including engine block, heads, and more.

Hyundai will provide trackside interactive facilities where drift fans can check out the latest products, driving games, music partnerships and race fan gifts. With the thousands who joined Hyundai’s interactive area in 2011, Hyundai intends to expand its fan outreach even further in 2012.

In addition to Formula Drift, Hyundai and RMR continue to join forces in the thrilling new motorsport of rallycross, challenging the best from Ford, Subaru, Dodge and Citroen in the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship Series. RMR has extensively fine-tuned the RMR Veloster rallycross car with insights gained from an exciting rookie season in 2011. The RMR Veloster rallycross season kicks off in Las Vegas on April 21.
