You are the one that always starts these arguments instead of just letting people have their point of view.
I rest my case.

Did you know there's a new rule for 2017? The cockpit need full padding on the roll cage! Better safety we take bigger risk :) #WRC #R5

Seemed to be more Kubica-back-to-WRC momentum picking up after the Monte. Interesting to see he's entered Le Mans and the WEC in LMP1. Albeit a non-competitive car.
I'd say that has to rule him out of any significant rally programme this year. Even if he is currently testing the Abarth.
There wasn't any chance for a significant rally program for this year, especially after VW exit and three better names on the market. Robert hasn't done anything towards rally program over last few months.

He already ruled out private entry after Wales 2015. You can't compete with 10-12 people team against over 100 factory crews. With no manufacture drive offer on the table, we won't see Kubica at WRC level.
It's a shame. I still believe he's able to win WRC round, at least on tarmac with a decent car. It would be some achievement to win both WRC rally and F1 race.
If i remember correctly, Kubica wanted to participate but lost his main sponsor LOTOS?
Yes, he still wanted to do few rallies with better preparation in 2016 but due to pollitics Lotos management has changed and the sponorship was shut down. Sadly Lotos wan't as loyal as Kubica after 2013, when he turned down Citroen offer with WRC drive.
Even second Lotos driver Kajto (2x ERC champion and 4x Polish champ) has difficulties with a proper rally program. By proper I mean ERC or WRC2 season.
After having tested Fiat 124 yesterday Kubica will test Hyundai R5 today.
I also have heard about him participating full time at WEC not only first round. I hope that.
