Also mentioned here that VW Polo GTI R5 production is ending https://dirtfish.com/rallycross/vw-t...es-motorsport/
VW clearly dont see rallying as any way to promote their electric-car future, and I can understand that.
But WRC managed ok when they left it and rally will too. There are still plenty of R5 cars available and more new ones coming.
Once they feel the pain. But they're a big boy, it might take some time!Quote:

Do you think VW would have continued the program if R5 had been chosen as new top class?
Without ever ongoing development the car falls behind its competitors in half a year. Nobody being serious about his rally program would buy such car now.Quote:

Also notice how many drivers switched away from the Polo for this year. Kajto, Veiby, Lindholm, Ciamin...
I heard that the car is pretty expensive to run and not an easy one to maintain. Only talk though, I don't know any owner personally.
