VAG to pull out of Motorsport post 2016

[Francis44]

I think you guys underestimate how much of an impact a WRC project can have, when I talk to friends/fellow workers about rally, even a casual, not really interested in cars and motorsport person, knows that VW dominated the championship, they might not even know fully what Rally but they know it was VW win fest, either by casual headlines on sites or the ads on TV.

Plus, I know many examples of people who did not consider VAG and specially VW cars as "sporty" or particularly "durable and effective" machines, a successful WRC campaign can do wonders on that.

I am also very skeptical about electric cars. Selfdriving cars will be the thing sooner or later but thats understandable because safety is number 1, however there will ALWAYS be a market for people who enjoy driving.
