Maybe the VW private entry issue it’s better on this topic.



VW plan B to get the ’17 Polo in WRC it’s an exceptional move and it deserves exceptional treatment, not a brainless administrative...

I don’t believe that a third party team run by VW Motorsport would be on VW’s board members minds when they’ve decided to pull out. It seems more a fallback solution, most likely put toghether by top...

Actually sometimes fairytales becomes real, not by magic but trough passion and hard work. VW Motorsport rally staff has both and so has Al-Attiyah. It’d be great having them around, with or without...

I believe Smeets already said their aim is to rent the cars and VW M staff seems available to service them.

Nothing new...that's the rumour that has been around since it was clear that VW would continue the new Polo homologation. If it happens, it won’t be a private team like we’re used to. It’s more a non...

The decision was taken by the management board, not by the supervisory board. Most likely the Porsche’s had no intervention on this.

It’s not a question of not having them doing what I want; it’s a question of seeing the sport I love being disrespected by the way VW is leaving WRC.

I don’t forget that the same board members...

Actually you’re forgetting the japanese, who already defeat the germans on global market and are quite ahead of them on the e motion business, despite keeping a massive presence in almost every forms...

You’re not seeing the bigger picture.

By pulling out from LeMans and WRC and entering FE, besides a simultaneous announcement of a strong electric mobility development, VW is making a clear...

This is a rally forum mate, not UN general assembly.

20 years from now we’ll probably be able to look back and see that VW’s dieselgate was one of the last nails on combustion engine coffin.
