"With the new Golf24 we are continuing our successful commitment at the Nürburgring 24-hour race. The race represents a very big technical challenge...and we want to provide an additional highlight in front of a large audience - right in time for the 35th anniversary of the GTI," commented Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen.
