World Rallycross Championship a.k.a RALLYX

Also there will be a new Polo roadcar in summer 2017, which obviously they couldn't use just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a totally new Polo Supercar in 2018.

Only if someone pays VW to make one!

WHY ?

PSRX is vw factory team, no need for outsider payer. I´m pretty sure it´s multi year deal between PSRX and VW factory.

It's a factory-run team run as a customer operation.

That was well publicised when it was announced.

"We have been watching rallycross very closely for a while now," Smeets told Autosport.

"Obviously we are already working with the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team in Global Rallycross - where we had great success with the drivers' and manufacturers' championship titles last year - but we were keen to look more at the FIA World Rallycross Championship for 2017.

"Working in alliance with Petter's team and Volkswagen Sweden, we could make this happen.

"Petter will run the team and we will provide technical support.

"We will have technicians at the races and we will engineer the car, but the financing and sponsorship of the operation is all down to Petter and Volkswagen Sweden."
