    I can't wait to see how this turns out. They're throwing lots of money at it and it looks good so far but all you have to do is look at Toyota's foray into F1 to know limitless $$$ isn't necessarily the answer. Toyota poured bucket loads of money into their program and left seven years later with very little result. I suspect VW's WRC effort will be quite a bit more successful. :yesnod:

    Nice video, thanks Steve!

    I think they may do well & I'm very glad that another manufacturer is stepping up to the plate. Looking forward to Toyota & Hyundai coming too. Should be very interesting.

    They have a top name driver and they are going all out for it. I think they will be around the top of the leader board right from the get go. :Thumbsup:

    Interesting how they managed to get a number of sponsors, right at the start.

    I like watching the WRC races because those drivers are just insane.
