with Jost Capito headed for McLaren, Volkswagen has named a successor to Director of Motorsport. And while he was at home, the German outfit moved a few other posts in his team to the Championship of the World rally as well.

rather that in someone from the outside as it had with Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport has promoted from the inside. The top job will now go to Sven Smeets, who has been with the team for 2012 and now serves as its athletic director.

predecessor and former boss Jost Capito Smeets joined Volkswagen in 2012 after a decade running the car division of Ford and orchestrated the current dominance of the World Rally Championship VW.

with his successor in place, Capito is now free to leave to McLaren, where he will serve as CEO of the troubled F1 team, but famous. Well its responsibilities have yet to be specifically listed, it will probably take most of the responsibility by flying over when Martin Whitmarsh was canned, in collaboration with race director Eric Boullier and reports to the President of the Group Ron Dennis.

so that the promotion of the Smeets, Volkswagen Motorsport also announced Lukasz Urban to serve as Commercial Director to replace Kirsten Zimmermann, who moves at the Headquarters Office and appointed technical director François-Xavier Demaison and Chief Dr. Donatus Wichelhaus to the Board of Directors of the division of motor racing.
