Volkswagen enters the WRC


This be-spoilered supermini is the new VW Polo R WRC, Volkwagen’s entry into the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship.

Unveiled today in Sardinia ahead of Rally d'Italia Sardegna, it's a 300bhp, four-wheel drive hot hatch that's going to take on Ford, Citroen et al on the world's toughest mud, gravel and snow Special Stages.
VW Polo R WRC, huh? What happened to those rumours that VW would enter the WRC with a Scirocco?

Just rumours, compounded by VW running a Scirocco course car on 2010’s Rally Deutschland. Instead, VW will enter its Polo supermini against Ford’s Fiesta, Citroen’s DS3 and Mini’s Countryman.

We won’t see a Polo up and running just yet though. Instead, Volkswagen Motorsport will start the development of the Polo R WRC using a Fabia derived from Skoda’s IRC-spec rally car, with the mule appearing at selected rallies towards the end of the 2011 season.

Extensive testing with the Polo R WRC proper will then begin in 2012, before VW finally enters the WRC in a fully fledged capacity in 2013.
What do we know about the new VW Polo R WRC?

The new cost-reducing WRC rules introduced in 2011 have cemented Ford and Citroen’s future in the rallying, and have encouraged both Mini and VW to enter. Tight regs mean 1.6-litre direct injection and turbocharged powerplants, perfect for manufacturers wanting to shout about the downsized engines in their road cars. Speaking of which...

'Clever downsizing at maximum levels of efficiency and sportiness are seen as popular fortes by Volkswagen customers worldwide,’ said VW R&D boss Dr Ulrich Hackenberg. ‘Building on this experience, Volkswagen is set on demonstrating the competitiveness of its products in front of a grand international audience. In return, we want customers to benefit from experiences we gain in the World Rally Championship.’

Reckon on around 300bhp and 260lb ft, sent to all four wheels via a sequential gearbox. The dry weight (sans fluids) will be the FIA-mandated 1200kg, while the blistered body accommodates wider tracks.

More intriguingly, the Polo R designation points towards a future hot hatch to sit above the Polo GTI. To take advantage of the marketing opportunity presented by the WRC, expect the Polo R to utilise the same four-wheel drive chassis being reading for the Audi S1. Bank on at least 210bhp, too.
What does this mean for Volkswagen’s Dakar entry?

Bad news – VW is pulling out forthwith. It's considering running a customer team in 2012 and has had plenty of expressions of interest, but no decision has been made.

As for VW's most famous Dakar driver, two-time World Rally champ Carlos Sainz, expect the fast Spaniard to be given a special advisory role in the new WRC programme.

Volkswagen confirms WRC move

Volkswagen has ended months of speculation by confirming its participation in the World Rally Championship at a press conference in Sardinia this afternoon.

As expected, Volkswagen will base its first ever World Rally Car on the Polo, with the car competing for the first time in 2013. The car was revealed at a packed harbourside launch in Olbia.

Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg (member of the board of management of Volkswagen brand) said: "In the past, we celebrated our sporting success in the desert, in 2009 first manufacturer to win [Dakar]with diesel engine.

"But to the future, we have invited you to entry into the World Rally Championship in 2013. The Polo WRC will compete for the first time in 2013 and we look forward to competing again WRC competitors Citroen, Mini and Ford."

There was no news on drivers at the launch.

Hackenberg continued: "There is almost 20 months between now and our first competition and we will find the drivers who can be in contention for first place.

"Now we must prepare for the task ahead. There is a lot to be done. We look forward to racing on four continents."

Polo WRC will run this year

VW Motorsport director Kris Nissen has confirmed the Polo WRC will be running before the end of this season.

The car will compete for the first time in 2013 and Nissen confirmed it will remain in the World Rally Championship until at least the end of 2015.

Nissen also confirmed Rally Dakar winner Carlos Sainz would remain with the team next season.

"We will be able to run with the car by the end of the year," said Nissen. "We will start testing the car. We have an excellent team [in motorsport]. I am very proud of the team. We will run some events with Skoda [Fabia S2000] to train the team on events and to meet the people.

"This is a five-year programme for Volkswagen. The next two years will be to develop the car and the engine, we will then enter the WRC in 2013, 14 and 15."

Nissen added that he was delighted to retain the services of double world champion Sainz, saying: "When Carlos came to us, the team was not on the level we are now - thank you Carlos. But thank you to all the other drivers as well.

"I spent some time convincing Carlos to stay in the team, it was the easiest 10 seconds ever! He [Sainz] will be my right hand and involved in many things. Carlos promised me not for racing, but for sure we need him for some tests."

Volkswagen confirmed it would be contesting the WRC on the same budget as it had for its Dakar programme. After winning Dakar for three years, Volkswagen will not contest the South American event in 2012 officially, but it is likely the Race Touareg 3 will run in private hands.

Nissen added: "I believe those teams can be competitive in 2012, we won't be there as an official team, but we would like to be there with private teams."

Y en SCCA estuvieron con bastante éxito con Paul Choiniere en Elantras y Tiburones en su momento, creo que Mark Higgins, el mae del video del WRX en Isle de Man también corrió Hyundai...

Oops, perdón por el off topic...

Para comentar algo del tema, espero que a los VW no los vayan a clasificar como forest fire hazards...
