Robert Kubica thread

And that's why he should go back to ERC? I don't think he care about winning in ERC because mostly there are not enough strong competitors.

Really? All those competitors were better than Kubica back in 2013 when he was competing in the ERC. He couldn't even win one single rally.

[N.O.T]

The positive thing is that he came to terms with the fact he is not WRC material, so the peak of the sport will have one less danger to worry about. I think Kubica will be a nice addition to the ERC and it will be a nice opportunity for him to win events and even the championship.

That was his first proper season in rallying and he was straight out faster than all of them so please... .

I think that if he would not have wasted these two years with his approach, and used them to learn, he could have been ready for a competitive 2016. Maybe he could have gained a manufacturer seat too. What a pity...

I don't think these two years were completely wasted. Last Tour The Course proved that he learn something. If he would agree to do less rallies with more testing it could open chances to gain manufacturer seat.

Yes but what I meant is that he learned this two year later. Maybe if he had this kind of approach from the very first year it would have been better for him now. Let's see how it goes and hope that he will make more step forward in rally sport.

Maybe a WRC2 team next year K&K Lotos Rally Team

That's a crazy idea, but I like it!
A combination of talented, consistent and successful driver plus a rally celebrity, that has no results, but creates much noise for the media - that could work!

I know what you mean, but speed is not everything. Let's be honest. He was competing in 4 ERC rounds in 2013 and won nothing. He has never managed to beat neither Kopecky nor Breen, so how can you say he was faster then them?

1. Rally Islas Canarias El Corte Inglés

Kopecky - 1st overal
Breen - 2nd
Kubica - crashed!

2. SATA Rallye Açores

Kopecky - 1st
Breen - 2nd
Kubica - 6th

3. Tour de Corse

Kopecky - 2nd
Breen - 4th
Kubica - out of the rally after mechanical problem with fuel system

4. Rally Poland

Kopecky - 3rd
Breen - 7th
Kubica - crashed!

There are rumors here and there that Lotos will pull out from motorsport sponsorship next year.

So that would be bad for Kajto, too ...

Yep, but TBH it may be bullshit.
