Apparently teams run by Prokop and Al-Atiya (plus sponsors) both tried to put together the money to run the Polo's in 2017.
They failed and that is why they cant run. If the money was in place in time VW would've homologated the cars ready to go.
After this failure of finance they were never going to be able to run part-time.

So, final chapter on VW‘s WRC adventure. It’s sad for VW Motorsport staff; they deserved to get their new car on the stages, after so much work. Still amazed how rashly a bunch of top VW execs have managed to ruin one of the most successful programmes in rally history.
It’s also a shame to see WRX getting the entry of a private team backed by VW Motorsport, while short sighted WRC officials and team managers refused to let VW M being involved in WRC; it’s bizarre to listen some of those guys saying they don’t understand why WRX is becoming such a strong series…Rally addict since 1982

My eyes are already bleeding reading this seemingly never ending talk about VW
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
