Volkswagen could have a decision over whether to enter Formula1 in 2013 before the year is out after team manufacturer’s motorsport representative Hans-Joachim Stuck revealed talks will be opened in November.

Volkswagen has been tipped to make the move into F1 for several years, either in its own capacity or under the banner of one of its subsidiaries. While racing as Audi was mooted for some years, a recent collaboration with Porsche could see the legendary German name return to F1 with backing from Volkswagen.

A discussion over these plans is now scheduled to take place next month, with apossible final decision before the year is out, though any planned debut would be no earlier than in 2013 when engine regulations are expected to change. More immediately, Volkswagen is planning on joining the NASCAR series to bolster its image in the key American market.

Bring it on!

 

I'm still very weary of any VW/Porsche/Audi-badged cars driving in F1 any time soon. I just don't see it happening.

And VW going to NASCAR?! Really?! I mean, I guess it's kinda working for Toyota but come on... That's just silly.
