Which golf's have been used in motorsport?
« on: 15 June 2004, 19:36 »
Just remembered this... which of our cars have been used in motorsport?

I say this, because I now know that the MK3 16v was used as a rally car. (according to some vw brochures i got from ebay).

I don't know at what level, or what kind of success it had.


What other models were used, and in what forms?

Does anyone remember the awesome RS200. That was unbelievable. Yes I know its not German, but it sure set new standards.
