The Marc VDS Racing Team will no longer compete in any four-wheel motorsport after president ♔Marc van der Straten blasts its 'spirit and values' but und𝔍erlines his commitment to MotoGP and Moto2 world championships.

After threatening to withdraw from all car 💯motorsport at the end of 2016, Marc VDS were lured back with an entry to the Renault Sport Trophy Series in a three-year project, going on tܫo clinch the drivers' and team's titles this season.

However, after enduring further frustration with sponsors and organisers with constant rule tweaks - while Renault confirmed it will withdraw from running and participating in the series - van der S𝔉traten has called time on Marc VDS Racing Team's operations in car motorsport in a damning and honest statement.

"Car racing has long been my great passion. A passion that my father had conveyed to me as he passed on to me many values," van der Straten said. "For ten years, initially as a sponsor with Tony Gillet and his Vertigo, and then as a stable boss, I gathered around me different people from whom I got many successes including this fantastic victory at the 24 Hours of Spa in 2015. This year again, ꦉwe shone in the Renault Sport Tophy.

"Unfortunately, I have just been disappointed🐲 by what has become car racing. Rules that vary according to the whims of each other, competitions that disappear as quickly as they were cre🔯ated, sponsors who do not keep their engagements, people without morals, profiteers.

"I no long𝓀er recognise the spirit and the values that I knew and that I find today in mo♊torcycle sport with the fabulous men who surround me.

"That's why I decided to put a definitive end to the commitment of the Marc VDS Racing Team in car motorsport to dedicate my activity in the motorcycle world chaꩵmpionship. I thank all those who helped us shine on four wheels during these ten years, and I wish them all the best for the future."

Marc 🌠VDS threatened to leave four-wheel motorsport 12 months ago after a clash of morale and distrust with team managers.

In 2013, Marc VDS were crowned Blancpain Endurance Series as a 'Pro Cup Team Champions' and two years later won the prestigious 24 Hours of Spa-Francor๊champs.

Marc VDS🐽 Racing Team will continue with its commꦬitments in MotoGP and Moto2.
