VW Motorsport - A Toss-Up Between NASCAR and F1

Car giant will decide motorsport strategy in November


VW's possible plans to enter F1, which we told you about back in May, will be 'discussed' in November, according to the company's motorsport representative, Hans-Joachim Stuck - along with the possibility of entering NASCAR.

The German giant (that's VW, not Stuck) has been rumoured to be eyeing F1 when the engine regulations change in 2013, possibly with a Porsche or Audi branded team.

Stuck told the Financial Times Deutschland, however, that he would not comment on the speculation other than to say that a meeting in November is planned "in which the (company's) strategy will be discussed".

He did also say that a VW entry into NASCAR was actually more likely - so VW's future involvement in F1 is far from certain.
