Video: VW Making a Movie About TDI Cup Racing Series

Undoubtedly, you've heard about Volkswagen's TDI Cup racing series that gives young, upcoming drivers (aged 16-26) a chance to race lightly modified Volkswagen Jetta TDI sedans. Now VW is making a documentary, Racing Under Green, about its race series, now in its second season, and the company has released this trailer.

From the looks of it, there will be equal parts racing and reality-show melodrama (i.e., car crashes, hurt feelings, recriminations). Still, we've always liked the idea of this race series, simply because it doesn't involve the best of the best and the richest of the rich, so we might watch anyway.

Racing Under Green airs on Discovery Planet Green Jan. 19 at 9 p.m. EST and on Discovery HD Jan. 24 at 10 p.m. EST.
