Good news for cross-country rallying. Following the withdrawal of Mitsubishi from all forms of cross-country rallying, VW has confirmed that it will defend its 2009 Dakar victory at the 2010 event. "No doubt, the 2009 Dakar Rally contributed to the fact that the Volkswagen brand is now shining even brighter around the world,” said Prof Dr Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Volkswagen Group.
Giniel de Villiers and Mark Miller scored a one-two finish for the German marque at the event that was held outside the African continent for the first time in its 31 year history. The event was held in Argentina and Chile and will be once more for the 2010 edition.
