Evolution of a success formula: in 2010, Volkswagen again presents itself with a broad-scale motorsport commitment.

It encompasses programmes in Germany, Europe, Africa, Asia and the United States. "From junior projects for rookies in formula or touring car racing and the Formula 3 engine programme all the way to professional commitments in top-calibre sport in the area of off-road rallies and endurance racing Volkswagen proves its motorsport expertise,” says Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen. "By fielding forward-thinking power-train technologies such as TDI diesel engines at the ‘Dakar’, modern turbocharged engines or CNG engines, the motorsport commitment supports the brand’s mission, namely the provision of reliable, competitive and innovative Volkswagen products for a wide range of uses.” The respon­sibility for Volkswagen’s motorsport activities is held by Kris Nissen. The former professional racer is the motorsport director and managing director of Volkswagen Motorsport GmbH.
