Hermann Gassner Jr. recognizes contacts with Volkswagen


You should be learning the name that appears in the headline, Herman Gassner Jr., because as said the other day promises to be one of the pilots elected to debut the new Volkswagen Polo WRC world Rallye of 2013. The German meets the main requirements and has been subject of rumors for months. Now he himself has acknowledged contacts with the brand.
I think I have a chance, but it depends on me that this will happen. There are many people who want to run with Volkswagen, but I have to do better than them. So I'll just be focused on what I'm doing. After that, what you have to come, will come.
The 22 year-old is currently enrolled in a program in the SWRC at the controls of one of the two Skoda Fabia S2000 Team Red Bull, along with the champion of the IRC Juho Hanninen. It is not the first time that we hear talk of Gassner Jr. even Kris Nissen, director of Volkswagen, has come to assert that it can be the next Walter Rohrl. Those are big words.
