Several appearances planned for the Volkswagen ID. R in 2019

We will have to wait until next January, and the GP Ice Race in Zell am See (Austria) to find out a little more about the future of the ID proto. A, but Volkswagen has already indicated that its 100% electric car, which won Pikes Peak this year with Romain Dumas, will be in action again in 2019.

“One thing is certain: the ID. R is far from ready to enter the museum, says Sven Smeets, boss of Volkswagen Motorsport. Volkswagen has a clear strategy for electromobility and we want to support this goal through our involvement in motorsport. We already have some interesting ideas. »

Volkswagen will refocus its activities a little more on electric vehicles via these potential appearances, and especially after the announcement of the end of the PSRX VW Sweden's commitment to World RX, which constituted Wolfsburg's main sporting program.

The other center of activity will remain customer competition with the WRC (via the Polo R5) or even tourism with the Golf GTI TCR.
