The only time he has done so for a whole event was when winning last years Janner Rally.

What about Sweden, Argentina, Germany, Wales and many more in WRC2?

Yeah, it is easy to go flat out on the well known test "circuit", Kubica should know well from his circuit experience. Not so easy the whole Rally, cut off the "flat" and the only what is left is "out".
I think Makinen's approach to testing with 80% of full speed would be lot more useful for him.

yes in a well known environment like a 2-3km test stage.The bad thing is he is trying to copy it at 200km stages in an environment its not so well known like the test stage.
But to be fair all drivers at tests do the same.
