The car on Long Beach Formula D has Nissan VQ engine. I talk to one of RMR crew at Long Beach on 4/9 and he said it is based on Hyundai engine, but apparently he can not say it is not Hyundai engine until it is uncovered by autoblog. Rhys Millen was under contract to complete the car by the first Formula D event and it was not enough time to develope new Hyundai engine to be competitive. RMR is going to use Hyundai based engine from 2nd or 3rd event of the season.

So... Isn't Rhy's Millen's Genesis using a Nissan engine?
Isn't that sort of counterproductive when it comes to promoting the car as a "Hyundai" car?
