Polo R WRC takes FC Schalke 04 footballers’ fancy
Volkswagen recently showcased the Polo R WRC to the FC Schalke 04 football team, during preparation for the forthcoming season. Thirty-five squad members took part in a road safety training course at the invitation of Volkswagen, a partner sponsor of the team. Goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall and others were allowed an outing in the Polo R WRC car, taking the role of co-driver for test driver Dieter Depping. Volkswagen Motorsport enters the FIA World Rally Championship next year, with up to three fully-tested examples of the aggressive four-wheel drive, 300bhp rally car.
