Rod Millen and his mad-looking Hyundai prototype had a disaster. A gearbox temporarily full of neutrals on the second corner, a spin, and brakes that disappeared towards the end of the run meant a lowly time of 11mins 06secs.

Wow that put it in a much worse light than I heard.
All I heard though was that Rhys and the crew could not find a good set up for the dirt sections of the climb, but for the bitumen section it was cracking.
Bit of a disappointment, but I'm sure he'll be back next year bigger and better.
I didn't hear if the 10min barrier was broken by the 'Monster' Japanese guy, so I'm guessing he wasn't successful in that pursuit, but did win overall.
