WRC-2 season 2013

Congratulations to Robert Kubica and Maciek Baran, the first ever World Rally Champions in the history of Poland! Well done guys!!!

Impressive by a racing driver to become a world champion in Rally - Impressed!!
Would love to see him back in F1, and win there as well. If he can win in rally, you should think the arm could handle racing.

But that he is a huge talent behind a wheel is by this proven. Would be cool to see him defend the title, when opposition will grow in 14!

He will fight Brynildsen/ Giraudet in GB, so lets see how that goes, if the New Autotek Fiesta keeps functioning for him!

First, he can't return to F1. Some slower circuit races - yes. Watch for example today's India race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_EfhXZexs (from 0:33). Also his rally car is equipped with paddle shift gearchanger and the handbrake works in the opposite direction (he pushes it forward instead of pulling it backwards).
Second, he said that in the next season he wants full season with pre-event tests or he will not rally at all, so next season in WRC2 or IRC is probably out of the question.

It's not so easy Sulland! You have much more space inside a rally car to operate with your hand than you have in a tight cockpit of a racing car. I'm afraid Robert's elbow, wrist and palm still don't function well enough to drive a F1 car

But standings say everything about Kubica's performance in a rally car:

In the last three years he went through hell, but today is the time for joy!!!

Congratulations for Robert!!
I know the competition wasn't very strong, but still it's his first year of proper rallying.
Also his determination and "never give up" attitude is unbelievable, a true hero for me!
I wish him all the best, rallying or racing!

I was under impression that Ogier and Ingrassia are the World Rally Champions this year.

Nonetheless, I do hope that Kubica will stay in WRC for the next two years at least. This guy has a huge potential, and is definitely an asset to the championship.

Yes, but the Moto2 and Moto3 categories are much more competitive compared to the MotoGP than the WRC2 and JWRC compared to the WRC. ERC and some national rally championships have a higher level than the WRC2. Remember that Kubica this year didn't finished an ERC Rally.

It is really a joke that the winner of WRC3 can be named World Champion. There was no competition...
