Lol... naughty boy.

I hope RK combines a Fabia wrc2 and RX supercar campaign in 16.
He can win races in both, and has a fair chance on the wrc2 trophy imo!

I believe he already have a WRC2 cup sitting at home somewhere.

Some people may say he didn't earn it... Maybe yes, maybe no. I won't dwell on that, but I really hope he doesn't go to rally cross... That would be a massive shame.

His braking skill is insane

Even in F1 his ability to be very late on the brakes was exceptional. Still remember well Australian GP `10 when M.Brundle was shocked by Rob braking so much later than Hamilton numerous times.

AFAIK RX is not possible with his hand.

Someone wisely mentioned that Kubica has his own thread and as a friend of order, I shall deliver my answer here:

perhaps he doesn't always bins it completely, but he makes serious mistakes everytime.

the only rally that can be called good for him, was poland. when he only lost 2 minutes to ogier.


raikkonen did a lot better than kubica. he didn't win stages, but he managed to get results.
kubica had done 39 rally's before he shifted to a full wrc season, raikkonen had done 4.

raikkonen: 59 points in 21 wrc rally's
kubica: 22 points in 24 wrc rally's

yet kubica scored 18 points in 7 rally's in wrc2, so it seems he knows how to drive fast.

Do I need to remind you that Prokop currently has 39 points this season? And absolutely no one... not even die hard Czech fans, would call Prokop a world class driver. I can accept that Kresta in his days was a good driver, but not Prokop. If you call Raikkonen good for collecting 59 points in two seasons, then Prokop must be like god to you.

...and by the same logic, Khalid Al Qassimi must also be a better driver since he has more points (9 vs 8)... c'mon, no one falls for that, a guy that regularly gets beaten by half the WRC2 field is not better.

Kimi was just a hamburger boy and a disgrace... a laughing stock... maybe he was bullied at school as a boy and became like that, i do not know, i hope he wasn't because that will make me sad.

What Kubica tries to do is hard and of course he gets respect for that... the speed is there but he cannot combine it with consistency... it is a bit sad because the hard part is to get the speed right usually.

Rallying at the top level is not a sport for Kubica... he does not have the complete package to succeed so it is better for him to accept that and move on to lesser championships or lesser sports...

Approved by me as Czech fan ;-) In my opinion Prokop would be star in ERC or even in WRC2 (with strategy of collecting points, because nobody can be so insanely quick as Lappi, but Lappi also crash) , but WRC itself is top level. And Prokop and his strategy of collecting points is OK, but not something that would blow your mind. BUT Prokop did his job well this season and that was the target.

BTW. Sometimes I wonder why Prokop even after 9 (or more) seasons in top class is not able to remember some special stage and push just because of fun. Like for example : "Hey, I have done here 17 racing passes thru this special stage and I know it and I like it here, I can push without any risk."

Prokop is a true rally driver, always looking at the big picture and not focusing on the moment. he could aim trophies in lowest levels but since he has the possibility he stays with the top guys. Of course he misses the talent and speed to match factory drivers times but among the privateers he can be called the best.
