Global Rallycross is one of the most exciting, and action-packed, motorsports series in the United States, incorporating door-to-door racing with dirt, tarmac, water, and aerial elements. Volkswagen’s decision to jump into the Global Rallycross arena is a major vote of confidence in the sport, as well as an influx of publicity, cash, and prestige. In true VW style, the German giant is also shaking things up not just by participating in Global Rallycross, but also by luring away one of its biggest stars from a bitter rival.
