So who do you think will win, and do you think the record will fall?

Does anybody know Why Tajima is called "Monster" ???

This is my guess:

EDIT: sorry i dont know enough to be able to vote...

Depends on the weather that day. Rain, heat, any number of things could ruin the chances at a record.

From the monster sport website:

From his superb wild driving style, his nickname "Monster" was born.

I reckon Tajima will get it, but look at the specs, they go more into Millen's favour. Lighter, better power to weight ratio and a bit more torque than Tajima's car, but you can't count out the monster!

Millen, 'cos he's a Kiwi.

It'll be a damn shame if Millen doesn't win. Hyundai will not be happy.

I just hope both cars are in GT5.

Christ. Those are the two gnarliest race cars I have seen in a long time. I wanna go with Millen on this one.

Millen did help give Hyundai some serious street cred in the states.

If it was Rod Millen we were talking about then yes I would agree Sharky, but I don't find the same feelings of being a fan for Rhys. But I'm a member of the old folks club who remember when it was Rod v Monster.

Also, Monster's cars made it into GT (the Cultus in GT2, the Escudo in GT2/3/4), can't say the same for the Rod Millen & Rhys Millen cars.
