in the World Rally Championship in 2013. There has been a plan to campaign as many as five Polos in the WRC next year, but the team plans to add a third car later. 

"There is a plausible scenario to get even a third car at the start. But only if one has everything under control and everything works the way we imagine. When that happens, whether in 2013 or 2014, really depends on how the progress is within the whole team.

"There is already a growing new generation of young talented drivers. An example is Andreas Mikkelsen, he is a very great talent to the IRC. We are currently working with Andreas Mikkelsen, Kevin Abbring and Sepp Wiegand, but we do not pull three drivers up [at the same time], but one-by-one instead," VW Motorsport director Jost Capito.
