Regarding the "Racing Packet" on the Clubsport what does SOP week 48 2021 mean? Does that mean its not available till then or something else?

Well I know SOP is Start of Production but I’m actually guessing that wk48 of 2021 is by Calendar year and so this won’t appear until Nov 2021.
I say that as I’ve previously read that VW tends to do model year changes from wk 22 of a given year and that is May time. So I think it’s for this time next year.
Also the German configurator briefly had some extra wheels showing and when you clicked on it it came up for a reference with Edition 45. I posted a thread with a picture in Mk8 forum of VWROC site. Maybe it’s too early to be putting 2 and 2 together, but this racing package etc might be linked to Edition 45 and they won’t be releasing it now until late next year?
What does anyone think 🤔 ?
