“That was arguably my longest special stage,” commented the two-time World Rally Champion and Volkswagen factory driver Carlos Sainz after completing his first race laps on the Nürburgring’s legendary Nordschleife.
“And it was really good fun, too,” affirmed the Spaniard with a happy smile on his face. With a Golf GTI, Carlos Sainz and his cross-country rally team-mate Giniel de Villiers (RSA) as well as Hans-Joachim Stuck (A), the Volkswagen Group’s Motorsport Representative since the beginning of this year, prepared for the 24-Hour race at the Nürburgring (24/25 May) in a four-hour race, which they finished fourth in class. At the endurance classic in the “Green Hell” Volkswagen will be fielding three racing versions of the new Scirocco that will only be launched on the market in August.
