Sep 11, 2015

At the Red Bull Rallycross LA doubleheader this weekend, the Volkswagen Andretti team will make it the first anniversary with the VW Beetle GRC when it hits the track at the Port of LA. Rallycross drivers Scott Speed and Tanner Foust will be hitting the track in their No. 34 Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle GRC and No. 41 Merchant First Beetle GRC’s respectively, they will be hoping to bring home a double victory in celebration of the Anniversary.

“After a year of competition and testing, the Beetles are back in Los Angeles for their anniversary,” said Foust. “Volkswagen was fast here last year and I’m looking forward to showing off the Rockstar Energy Drink Beetle GRC through the dynamic elevation changes of the course. It’s time to show the hometown, LA crowd what we can do!”

Speed echoes Foust’s sentiments regarding his excitement of celebrating the anniversary in his home-state of California.

“I am so excited to get back on track for Global Rallycross in Los Angeles,” said the three-time and reigning X Games Gold Medalist. “This was one of my favorite events last year and I’m looking forward to another big crowd. The Merchant First Beetle GRC is stronger than ever and I’m confident that we’re going to put in two very strong races for the VARX team this weekend.”
