We define p-rank-one connections at infinity for an unbounded set K in MN×n and show that the quasiconvex hull Qp(K) may be bigger than K if K has a p-rank-one connection, where Qp(K) is the zero set of the quasiconvex relaxation of the p-distance function to K. We examine some examples and compare Qp(K) with Qp(K) - a more restrictive quasiconvex hull of K.
