VW is back into World Rally (Polo R WRC)

[serpicowasright]

I want to see a AWD Polo R in the US!

[PSU]

Wishful thinking, but I don't see it ever happening.

Sweet video...and a beautiful car.

It's possible that VAG's return to rallying's top level will re-ignite my interest in the WRC.

This is awesome! It sounds so good.

Anyone know what engine? Is Sainz going to drive it in 2013?

[VW_Hippie]

Finally the VW and WRC. I hope VW brings the polo to north america.

Is Sainz going to drive it in 2013?

Initially it was Sainz but i dont know if he will finally cause we have this man

Sebastien Ogier

[serpicowasright]

It's definitely going to be a 1.6 liter 4 banger, to fit new WRC regulations.

More videos of day 2 testing!

I truly think that Seb Ogier could be the next great WRC driver - I personally think that he was held back by the Citroen/Loeb marriage ... and with Sainz and Ogier developing the car - man, 2013 could be a good year for VW in rallying.

Hopefully this will create some nice R&D to produce some R Model stateside that has the HP range to get to the STI/EVO level.

as they did with Dakar vw will not get into it unless they are sure they can make a difference and bring some good results
at least thats what i m thinking (and hoping)

[Suspekt]

[georgeboole]

how about that?

[georgeboole]

read somewhere that J.M. Latvala will join VW this year (and maybe P.Solberg if they participate with 3 cars)
thats what happens when Ford retires from the WRC

yeah where can you watch wrc races online in general and full runs

[Chrisvw1990]

Usually not many cars run the dash cams, so getting a full run is somewhat difficult, you usually just find clips from certain turns and such, ill dig around and see what i can find though.

[1VR62NV]

WRC has really lost alot of support over the past couple years I am not sure if they even have a TV deal anymore

Thanks mate I appreciate it. I used to be big on rally but when Subaru left, I don't wanna say I shied away, more like I didn't really feel the urge to follow any other team.
VW will be the one for me now probably.

[georgeboole]

for the last 2 years they showed the power stage live on tv over here for each rally.hope they do the same next year too.
if i find a link so you can see i ll post it here
