Volkswagen to focus on production-based vehicles in customer sport

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

 Volkswagen Motorsport will focus even more on production-based #racing in the future: With the hugely successful #golfgtitcr and the new #pologtir5, Volkswagen is able to offer its customers attractive cars for circuit #racing and rallying. The long-term commitment as engine manufacturer in Formula 3, which has yielded a host of international stars, will end in 2018.

"In the future, we will place even greater emphasis on Volkswagen products. The #golfgtitcr is already an important ambassador for the brand in many #racing series around the world, and we are pursuing the same goal with the new #pologtir5," said Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets. "Both cars are not only attractive propositions for professional customer teams, but also represent top-class cars for talented youngsters. This way, we are also able to continue our long-term philosophy of offering youth opportunities. The many national, regional and international series, in which the #golfgtitcr and #pologtir5 are in action, allow the young drivers to develop step by step at the wheel of a Volkswagen."

"In Formula 3, Volkswagen can look back on a remarkable record. For more than three decades, Volkswagen teams and drivers have enjoyed great success against teams from other manufacturers - we are sincerely grateful to them for this. We will continue to provide our customers with consistent support, in order to bring the 2018 season to a successful close in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship and at the FIA Formula 3 World Cup in Macau," Sven Smeets added.
