I'm actually surprised they finished it.... :lol:

I wonder if they forgot to put anything on the car like an exhaust, brakes, or the usual.

What do you guys think? Do they pose a threat to a podium finish?

Wait... R. millen... is Ryce going or pilot that or is his father? I see an american flag so i would assume its Ryce. I think its great that someone has that much talent to race anything with 4 wheels and be good at it :)

Rhys is driving it. He has done a good chunk of rallying before this.

It's funny because Ken had a car that looked just like that in '04..

I love that camuflage colour scheme!

Rhys is a very real threat to do well. He's a very experienced rally driver before he moved to drifting and film work.

Yeah, Ken was grumbling on the SS or RA forum (I forget which one) about the fact that they're (DVS) a shoe competitor of DC and using the camo sceme :mad:

Damn Matt, spot on of why I said "more competition". Two shoe companys in rally now.

Atleast competitors can narrow down thier sponsorship short-lists now.. just pitch to energy drink and shoe companies.

That's like Ferrari arguing that nobody should be able to paint their cars red because that's "their" color. :lol:
SlideWRX 08-02-2006 10:21 AM

True, but he was just pointing out that a shoe company used an urban camo painted car last year, and now a different shoe company is using an urban camo scheme painted car this year. Not very imaginative, or trying to ride the recognition of the previous car. Certainly, two companies in different markets (say, shoes & energy drinks) could use similar paint schemes different years and no-one would care.

And generally, in the racing series that Ferrari's are involved in, others generally [i]don't[/i] paint thier cars the same red as Ferrari. :)

It isn't like Ken was complaining because there was an urban camo shoe like one from his brand....

It was a comment directed at the fact that they were imitating some of their branding strategy on their race cars...

[QUOTE=OBShahn]It was a comment directed at the fact that they were imitating some of their branding strategy on their race cars...[/QUOTE]
Bingo! :)

And probably also the fact that it's the same make and model car, in the same series...

Thats just Vivid Stealing other companies ideas again.. nothing new... :rolleyes:
WagonMonster 08-02-2006 12:26 PM

Exactly.

Too bad, because Rhys is a nice guy.

Oh well.

Are we sure Vivid didn't have a hand in building that car?

[quote=Rally-America]Car 6, Millen / Sircombe, have returned to service on a tow strap. Co-driver Tony Sircombe reported that it is possibly a clutch problem. "we still have all the gears, but not any forward drive. " The team plans to make repairs and will be running all the practices and the super special on Saturday.[/quote]

DVS has been using this paint job on there Drag Team's Car, [url]http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2006/drivers/J_Lookofsky.html[/url]
Nothing new for DVS.

The plot thickens!?!

I guess it's kind of like the Apple Computers vs. Apple Records issue.

IMO DVS has always copied more than originated. The gang @ DC is far more innovative and creative.

I bet Vivid didn't touch anything on that car. :lol:

when did that car begin to sport that scheme though?... hmmm?


oh well... whatever the case:
I still gotta root for DC; I'm a Pastrana fan from his MX days and I figure anyone that hooks up that guy like Mr. Block did must show excellent judgement and therefore is added to my list of folks to be fans of.

nope, the car was built by techsport.

Cool to see Rhys in a Subaru. :)

Why is Rhys being listed as driving a "2000 Mitsubishi Evo" on all the Rally America results and entry lists?

[QUOTE=psg]Why is Rhys being listed as driving a "2000 Mitsubishi Evo" on all the Rally America results and entry lists?[/QUOTE]


i think they accidentally pulled old data from the last time he ran when compiling the info.

Maybe, but that doesn't explain why the cars are wrong for Iorio/Holter and Richard/Richard too.
lummer shawn 08-03-2006 12:42 PM

simple errors, no conspiracys.
pics of all the cars are up on [url]www.FlatOverCrest.com[/url]
RoundtheBend 08-03-2006 09:33 PM

Rhys' car looks like the scheme was stolen from DC and Pat Richard. The camo cutoff portion reminds me of the Pat's Rocket Rally scheme. *sigh*
