The VW Fox as a race car??

YES!!

While here in North America the VW Fox has been treated as an economy, commuter car, back in its homeland of Brazil the VW Voyage [Fox sedans] were raced!  (Not to mentioned used as taxis, Police cars and others!)



In Brazil, there is a category of "Touring N" cars (National cars with minimal modifications and cost). They run in Interlagos (F1) and Jacarepagua (Cart) autodromes located at Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro States.

Nowadays the cars that run in this category are the VW Gol, Passat and Voyage, and the Ford Escort.
Usually the drivers are people like us, who like cars, but they have money to spend on this hobby.


In the picture above is the rear of a white Voyage that has a funny phrase written on it: "Encosta devagarinho..." This means Touch slowly - because the cars hit each other very easily during the races.

Thanks to Marcelo Evangelista for providing me with this information and pictures!  Marcelo owns a 1983 VW Voyage and is in my Fox registry.

Also "thanks" to Rodrigo Marassá Ojeda who sent me the big racing VW Voyage found on this page (the last one, with #17 on it).
