WRC Testing

It s a good way for kubica to buy his own car and run you're own team. Then you know were you money is going.

I have experience of more then 30 years in racing. I know how the game works. Some drivers can bring big sponsor budgets and you're (sponsor) money will not be completely spend on you're car, but will be used for other drivers and cars they choose. I have seen it all happen.

Best way is own car own team and know were you're sponsor money goes. Or take a factory drive and only take a helmet with you.

very true

The question pops up again but we discussed the whole Kubica and A-Style - thing already last month, even the issue why not M-Sport and why A-Style instead...
In all negotiations the deal would have been 2 WRC's to run owned by Kubica, probably one test car one event car. indeed this happens many times in Motorsport. Most important thing in my opinion is also: tires and a very good engineer. Hopefully this this is all covered.
But still, it's the A-Style team, they also run the Olivier Burri and Marco Silva Fiesta (R5).

Kubica create his own team. He's bought these two cars from A-Style, some people are from A-Style, but there's also mechanics from Errefe Realy Team.

This is a crash actually, a spin/half spin happens on the road.

That spin is very telling of Kubicas driving style.
He seems to have some difficulty in knowing wich sections, turns or parts of turns to slow down/sacrifice to stay fast AND safe.
Here he carries to much speed in and trough the left hand corner, and this is where the mistake is done.
Because of the speed he goes wide in the left hand corner, and now the entry angle in the right corner will be sharper than if he had managed to "keep in".
Making a corner angle sharper, and having excess of speed, will be risky bussiness.
Kubica is a wonderfull driver, but in my opinion has a circuit approach that needs to be adjusted to varring levels of grip.

Very true. Kubica carries lot of speed through the corner (as a circuit driver) and exiting the corner, which is actually spectacular, but for how long? No offence to Kubica's fans of course This was his major mistake last year. if he continues like this this year, I can only sorry about it.
