Volkswagen Motorsport will continue into 2021 with the long standing Polo Cup Race Series for national level racing, which sees some 22 cars competing in this Championship. The all new Supa Cup race series, which began in 2020, has gained a few more drivers for 2021 and will compete in the GTC series as the second tier in the category, having its own Championship. Jonathan Mogotsi will continue to drive for Volkswagen Motorsport in this Series in 2021. The Golf8 Race car that was launched in 2020, will not be competing in any form of championship for 2021, but instead it will participate at some high profile events, for both motorsport and passenger brand, including the ever popular Knysna Simola Hillclimb and a few selected Endurance events. Daniel Rowe and Keagan Masters will continue to pilot the Golf 8 GTI’s in these events.
