@DrDenisSaralho compared to other forms of motorsport, yes it was. zero carbon output, 95% reduced emissions and 25mpg @ over 100mph on track. let's see any other internal combustion racing series put up better numbers.
$45k is actually pretty cheap for a full season, especially considering what it would cost to do a season in other series. No one ever said racing was cheap (especially road course racing)...
i agree...for a series that gets national TV coverage like this, is arrive & drive, racing in front of ALMS teams, and is supported by a huge manufacturer like VW, it is very cheap compared to say Koni Challenge....but then again, i don't have a famous last name and i don't have rich parents like many of the other guys in the series.
it's about time they made a TDI race car! i've been saying this for years, that the TDI Beetle hands down is one of the fastest cars i've ever driven. always beat everyone to the block and that's from the last of the "not so dirty" diesels they made two years ago. don't be fooled that you have to buy new; the older ones are very fast, too! this is just marketing and it's about time that the rest of the world really knows how much speed and torque these cars have. Go VW!
Only new cars, well that sucks oh well. Some of the older ones can get 350-400 pounds of torque to the wheels and could easily take these. You have to make the playing field fair I guess, oh well...
I got the street version of the TDI Cup Edition, and it's quite speedy! Very fun car to own

For 35k I can build my own car, start a team and do SCCA & NASA regionals.

@Soprano313 you can, but it would just be regionals and you wouldn't have teh type of exposure VW & SCCA pro racing had.

yea uh, its pretty easy to get these up there too, and they start with a lot more HP and torque anyways, if they are the common rail 2.0 TDI.
