With only a few days of ownership of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 T (call sign: MDR-1) the MODE Racing crew took a drive to Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix Arizona to do a quick shakedown event at the NASA Super Lap Battle Time Attack.
The MDR-1 Genesis Coupe was taken out of its trailer ready for battle equipped with only Motul Racing Fluids, Toyo R888 tires, Enkei NT03+M wheels, and an APR GTC-300 rear wing. The driver, Billy Brooks, was ready to see how the MDR-1 would stand up against the other street driven, race prepped vehicles in the paddock. After a quick stint in the autocross course at Firebird International Raceway, Billy Brooks was confident that the car will work fine on the track. More photos and the full release after the jump.
