VAG to pull out of Motorsport post 2016

Seems like rather a waste of money when the manufacturer is under pressure to cut costs.

Quitting motorsport programmes is not cost cutting but saving face.

They are going to test in Sweden with Dieping & Gronholm

Depping & Grönholm :)

I think Gronholm is injured and it was reason why he withdraw from Setkani Mistru at Sosnova?

There isn't any logic in remaining the tests or am I missing something?

It's indeed weird, but Smeets stated to make the car 100 % but will never be homologated.

They are going to homologate it as well. Just not give it its competition stamp.

So who says FIA ain´t gonna swap rules in favour for AM to let drive a 2017 Polo in private team?

It was/is the meaning to homologate the car. But the car can't be totally homologated, because you need to be competing with the car to get the stamp.
