BORN IN THE USA…
Jost Capito, Volkswagen
Motorsport Director: “As
it celebrates its 50th
birthday, Volkswagen is
better placed on the
motorsport scene than ever
before. And it boasts a very
well-balanced programme:
a global commitment with
the Polo R WRC in the
World Rally Championship,
in circuit racing with the
young drivers in Formula 3,
and with the Golf GTI TCR in
the various international
TCR series. We are also
well-established in the USA,
with the Andretti Autosport
team enjoying success on
the Rallycross scene – a
modern and emerging form
of motor racing. As such,
Volkswagen enjoys a solid
and future-oriented basis in
motorsport. That is cause
for celebration. At the
same time, it is also an
obligation and motivation.
We want to be successful,
wherever we compete.”
