Volkswagen praises Sainz legacy

Volkswagen Motorsport director Kris Nissen has praised double world rally champion Carlos Sainz for raising the level of competitiveness of the team. Sainz won Dakar in a VW Race Touareg in 2010 and remains part of the VW setup as it moves into the WRC. Nissen said it was the Spaniard's professionalism which helped establish VW as such a dominant force on the Dakar, where it took three back-to-back victories.
