Rhys Millen – Free Agent in 2013. Next Year It is Wide Open – Unlimited.

Rhys Millen and Team RMR set a new World Record at the 90th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with a time of 9:46.164.

“You have seen the best in the world come over here this year to Pikes Peak with this new surface…Next year, it’s wide open.  I’m a free agent for next year. I have no contract for next year, we are excited…but we want to be in Unlimited.” Rhys Millen.

Nothing can describe what it takes to conquer America’s Mountain. After a week of little air to breathe, early mornings and a Hyundai that did not skip a beat, Rhys Millen and Team RMR sets a new world record with a time of 9:46.164 at the 90^th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“With the newly paved section of the course and the hot weather conditions, a lot of people failed or crashed. Our car’s balance remained the same from practice to race day using these Hankook F200 Tires this entire run. Even on a slick tire and torrential downpour in the last mile and a half, with the heat we were able to achieve in the tires the grip was still adequate and we were able to produce a new world record,” said Rhys Millen after Sunday’s victory from the summit.

2010 Le Mans Champion Romain Dumas and his Porsche 997 GT3-R was Millen’s closest competition, with Dumas completing the course in 9:46.181.This marks a back to back victory over Porsche factory supported drivers for RMR in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Rhys Millen Racing would like to thank everyone at Pulse for their endless support at this year’s climb, Hankook Tires for all the grip, Hyundai for a world class vehicle, Garret Turbo for support on the hill and all the world class sponsors that make for a record setting year.
