Factory backing = The marque are pro-active, working on it, pushing in money themselves. That's not what VW does. They get expenses covered. To get the technicians and engineers to the races, the Solberg team have to pay for it.
No you clearly did not understood what I and some others are trying to say. These VW cars are massively better than the rest of the field, which gives both Petter and Kristofferson huge advantage.

You all want to downplay VW knowledge and skills and play it on Petter's hands as he is singlehandedly running everything and of course he's the best car developer in the world. Not quite so, the car is giving them a chance to be in the limelight = more cash. It's all about tech these days and VW was the best in WRC and is the best in WRX. Simple. It's a good deal for Petter!
