Michael Andretti and
Volkswagen have both been involved in
Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and
there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there
were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp
Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer
Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the
2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for
IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro
Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII
Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the
Chicago Auto Show on February 6.
