The 2009 Jetta TDI Cup season is set to get underway. After initially announcing 9 of the 10 venues of the said meet, the 10th and last venue was finally revealed. The last one is the Miller Motorsports Park to the list of venues that will host its SCCA Pro Racing-sanctioned events.
The Jetta TDI Cup’s second season will begin on April 24 at VIRginia International Raceway. During the season, 30 young, undiscovered drivers (between ages 16-26) will compete in ten events on eight road courses around North America in identical factory-prepared Jetta TDI’s powered by clean diesel. The series champion will win $100,000. In addition, each driver competing in the series will earn a Pro Racing license from SCCA at the conclusion of the season.
Last season’s Jetta TDI Cup Champion, Josh Hurley used his opportunity to propel his racing career into a full-time position. Hurley was signed by APR Motorsport to compete in the 2009 Koni Sports Car Challenge Championship, a division of the Grand-Am Series. In addition, last year’s runner-up, Liam Kenney also secured a full-time professional ride in the 2009 ADAC Formula Masters Championship in Europe driving for Ma-Con Motorsport.
