As a long-time reader you knew this already, but now we have the official press release.

Hans-Joachim Stuck has been appointed Motorsport Representative for the Volkswagen Group with effect from January 2008.

Stuck’s cross-brand activities include advising the Board of Management on motorsport issues as well as working on the strategic development of new motorsport opportunities for the Group brands. Furthermore, Struck will support motorsport communications and act as the Group representative vis-á-vis motorsport associations, at motorsport events and classic car events.
