The VW Andretti Rallycross Team has a Near Perfect Weekend

Sep 25, 2015

The Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross (VARX) team just celebrated their one-year anniversary of the Beetle GRC’s on track debut with a near perfect weekend of racing. The team came away with four podium victories, including two victories, at the Red Bull Global Rallycross (GRC) doubleheader from the Port of LA.

Both wins were earned by racer Scott Speed, making him the winningest driver in GRC history and put him in contention for the 2015 championship. Fellow GRC drive Tanner Foust had a few successful podium finishes as well taking home second place on Saturday and third on Sunday.

“One year from the Beetle GRC’s race debut, and we get to celebrate its birthday with two incredible results here at the Port of LA,” said a beaming Clark Campbell, General Manager, Volkswagen Experiential Marketing. “Our Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team has matured so much in our short time competing in Red Bull Global Rallycross, but this weekend is the crowning achievement of our program so far.”

The entire Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross team will be back on the track next month for Red Bull Global Rallycross’s International race in Barbados. Stay tuned to the Fiore Volkswagen blog for an update on how they perform.
