I mentioned in one of my Monday Morning Rundown posts that rallycross just might be the next big thing. I am beginning to believe myself more and more everyday.
Hyundai is officially getting into the rallycross game with the help of Mr. Rhys Millen and of course Red Bull. Rhys Millen Racing has built a 500HP AWD version of the soon to be released Hyundai Veloster to be driven in the 2011 American Rallycross Championship. That is another Formula D driver ‘crossing over’ into the ‘the next big thing.’
And to add to the bandwagon, RMR is building a second car to make sure Hyundai has a team to enter into the rally events at this summer’s X-Games. Who will pilot this second car? Robbie Maddison of course. Yet another action sport star getting into the ‘next big thing.’
All we need now is more television coverage of rally/rallycross events in North America. For now I will leave you with a video of Rhys Millen showing off his new toy.
