Rhys Millen takes to the track in his Ethanol powered 3/4 scale supercar. Notice how fast this thing accelerates. This footage was shot before the Formula D Irwindale event.

Such a tiny car.

Wow!!No angle what so ever…When Rys gets some angle off the second clip he looks like he can’t keep his speed. Boring. He is a “play it safe” kinda driver anyhow.

Yea but its probably still needs more testing but by the way hes driving everytime he does get decent angle hes letting off so hes probably spinning out alot

I really miss the GTO after watchin that…
no angle, hardly smokin the tires, its pretty quick i guess but the GTO had a much more dominate presence… IMHO it seems that the GTO was doing pretty well for pontiac so they just stuck him in a new, rwd coupe, threw a turbo in it, did some suspention mods and said “do your thing rhys” to boost sales of their new product…
poor rhys…

The Solstice is a lighter car and it’s hella sleek, however it’s really lacking in horsepower. It’s nice, But I think that the GTO would still be better to use.

Keep in mind that with a shorter/smaller car the same angle looks much less dramatic, than if it was a longer car.

His driving reminds me of his father at the old pikes peak runs. Nice page.

with all do repect to you all it seems to me they were testing meaning they were tuning and learning about the car. the speed and angle werent going to be wwhat you would expect to see in a competion . the v8 was nice but the weight of that car limited movement the light weight and small areo of this car allows it to hold a drift more comportable and yes the angle is less dramatic because it is a shorter car.
