Volkswagen Group announced the withdrawal of its factory team from the WRC rally series at the end of this season.
Although Volkswagen again won the title in WRC this season, and ahead of schedule, the concern is no longer able to finance its own racing program.
The likely reason for the closure of the rally direction could be "dieselgate", which cost the company significant sums. However, in an official statement, the company said it decided to focus its efforts on developing promising technologies and expanding its lineup of electric cars.
