VW Announces Jetta TDI Cup Racing Series

VW recently announced the launch of a new racing series in the US: The Jetta TDI Cup. This is the first all-diesel powered car racing series, and it’ll feature the new TDI Jetta equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. The car will pack 170hp, almost 300 lb-ft of torque, the amazing automatic DSG transmission, ABS racing brakes, a fully independent racing suspension, and a special driver’s side airbag. To help promote the launch, the the VWoA Motorsport Board is looking for 40 drivers (30 drivers, 10 backup) between the ages of 16-26 to participate in the series—and they mean business. After each race, the winner will walk with $1500, and the Series Point Champion will nab a cool hundred grand. As if that wasn’t enough, if the Series Champ is selected for a professional Motorsport series within six months, the prize is upped to $250,000. What an incredible opportunity!
