50 YEARS OF VOLKSWAGEN MOTORSPORT

Wolfsburg (26 August 2016). Showcasing a spectacular history: Volkswagen is staging a special, interactive exhibition looking back on its history of motor racing at DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum. The retrospective exhibition, decades of motorsport through video, audio and picture installations.

The spotlight is on eight unique specimens from across the history of Volkswagen Motorsport, from the Golf that won the Group A World Rally Championship and the Race Touareg that enjoyed such great success at the Rally Dakar to the current WRC-winning Polo and the twin-engine Golf that made such an impression on the iconic Pikes Peak hillclimb. As well as Volkswagen’s rally legends, circuit racing exhibits will also feature at DRIVE. These include a 1960s Formula Vee single-seater, which kick-started the brand’s motorsport history, and a present-day Golf GTI TCR from Volkswagen’s successful customer racing programme.

Informative insights into teamwork, technology, sound, service, adventure and success make the fascination of motorsport a tangible experience for visitors. Interactive elements guide them through the successful, and at times extraordinary, history of Volkswagen Motorsport. The visitors are led through the exhibition in various stages.
