The Scirocco R Cup - the partner series for the DTM event - will involve nine races over the course of seven weekends, including a date at Brands Hatch in the UK.
It might provide a great opportunity for those seeking sports car insurance to feast their eyes on a fabulous range of cars.
Overall, 30 participants will make their way to the starting grid and compete for victory.
Commenting on the event, Volkswagen motorsport director Kris Nissen suggested that the occasion will provide a fascinating spectacle.
He stated: "With the new Scirocco R Cup, we will continue our long-standing commitment to promoting young talent and making new marks with innovative biogas power. The DTM with its huge popularity offers an unrivalled stage for this."
The manufacturer claims that the Scirocco R model provides an 80 per cent cut in carbon emissions in comparison to typical motor engines.
As such, the event is said to be the most environmentally-conscious one-make racing series on the planet.
Meanwhile, the new Polo BlueMotion might be on the radar of customers seeking a value-for-money deal, as the vehicle is priced at £14,445 for the three-door edition.
