Volkswagen are likely to make a decision after Dakar about their future global motorsport activities and are still considering the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport magazine.
VW Motorsport boss Kris Nissen visited a number of WRC events last year and had several meetings with the FIA about the manufacturer possibly entering the championship.
VW motorsport boss Kris Nissen stated to Autosport magazine:
We want to make a decision after Dakar. We have looked at the World Rally Championship and we have been keen to investigate whether this would be possible, as well as the Dakar or instead of the Dakar.
Volkswagen is one of the world's biggest car manufacturers. International competition is really important - Dakar is international competition but so is the WRC. Nothing is decided yet."
