Maree said AfriForum Youth intended to approach the Equality Court should VW not let go of its race-based acceptance requirement for this competition.
VW spokesman Matt Gennrich said on Tuesday VW had received the letter.
“We will study its contents and respond to AfriForum Youth.”
Gennrich said the driver search was in its third year.
He said due to the high cost of entry into motorsport‚ the majority of people who participated in motorsports were white.
“What we have designed with this driver programme is to attract non-white people into the sport. We believe that this programme is good for motorsport development‚" Gennrich said.
The inaugural year in 2016 saw Jonathan Mogotsi win the Volkswagen Driver Search competition‚ in which the company tries to find the cream of the crop of the country’s previously disadvantaged drivers.
In 2017‚ Raais Asmal won the competition and joined Mogotsi in the Engen Polo Cup championship with 22 other competitors.
VW described the Engen Polo Cup Series – now in its 22nd year - as a one-car-make series competition where performance is kept equal to provide entertaining and close motor racing.
