The vehicle has a super grip on fast, sharp turns and it stays level. No doubt, the driver has to be given credit as well. Marcus Gronholm is an integral element of Finnish motorsports legends. As such, he has an impressive resume. If you\u2019re wondering about his background, his father was a rally driver who was killed in a practice run. His father gained prominence in the 70s and 80s.<\/p>\n<p>They say that the apple never falls far from the tree. That seems to be the case with Marcus. There\u2019s a lot of talent at play here, as you watch him take turn after turn with speed and a graceful ease. Whatever he\u2019s presently doing, or regardless of how many races he\u2019s won or lost, the man has undeniable skills.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Test Volkswagen Polo R WRC 2017 - Marcus Gr\u00f6nholm [HD]\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eUZptH4hDFw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever driven tight, winding roads, you\u2019ll agree that this is an excellent test run of Volkswagen\u2019s Polo R.
