GRC: Red Bull GRC Washington DC Presented by Volkswagen Track Layout Revealed

Red Bull has revealed the layout for Red Bull GRC Washington DC presented by Volkswagen, coming it at just under one mile per lap.  The longest of the 2015 season, this nine-turn layout features a mainly tarmac surface, with the quintessential jump happening at turn seven.  Unlike last year’s event, the 2015 edition will see practice on Friday and competition on Saturday, so be sure to head in early.

Check out more details below.

The second annual Red Bull Global Rallycross Washington DC presented by Volkswagen will feature a brand new, nine-turn layout in RFK Stadium Lot 8. At .980 miles, the new course is one of the longest of the 2015 Red Bull GRC season, while the return of the dirt jump and multiple fast straightaways ensure some of the best racing of the season.

Drivers will start from an offset grid before charging into the first turn of the counter-clockwise course, a slight left-hander that leads into a pair of right turns. This section is followed by turn four, a 180-degree left, and the longest straightaway on the course before turns five and six. The return of the dirt jump leads into a right-curving dirt section that ends with the option to continue straight and take the Kobalt Tools Joker Lap or break left to complete the main lap. Another pair of left-handers, connected by a short straightaway, completes the lap.

Red Bull Global Rallycross Washington DC tickets are still available for both Friday and Saturday’s competition. Friday will feature practice and qualifying rounds, while Saturday is comprised of semifinals, last chance qualifiers, and finals for both Supercar and GRC Lites. Click here for more information.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
