2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup season
Previous: 2008 Next: 2010

The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup was the second season of the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup. For 2009 there were ten races to take place on eight circuits. Both Virginia International Raceway and New Jersey Motorsports Park were doubleheader events hosting two rounds each. There are also 4 new tracks for the 2009 season, Miller Motorsports Park, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Autobahn Country Club, and Road America. Gone for the season are Iowa Speedway and Lime Rock Park.[1]

Also new for this season is a new fuel from Hyperfuels, the official supplier for the TDI Cup. This year all the race cars, as well as all the vehicle/equipment transporters and generators used by the series, will run SynDiesel B5 Biodiesel.[2] Late in the 2008 season, Pirelli announced that they would be the official tire supplier for the 2009 season.[3]
