Robert Kubica thread

[Mariusz]

RK WRT is not registered as team for 2015 so it wouldn't matter, but that kind of system wouldn't help to attract more WRC private teams. Is there actually a rule now that a WRC team can skip one event without consequences?

[pantealex]

MT teams can skip, but M teams not

MT = VW2, HyundaiN, Jipocar and Fuckmatie
M = VW, Hyundai, Citroen and M-sport

"Maybe one day I will become more rally driver than racing driver..."

I'm not sure these are particularly new quotes but it's interesting to hear Kubica say that. It doesn't sound like a guy who is ready to walk away from rallying.

Kubica is not going to leave WRC for antother 5-10 years. He can stay a privater as long as he wants basically because his sponsors will never drop him.

Do you really think there are sponsors who are willing to pay for another 5-10 years to see Kubica's endless crashes? Especially in such a poor country as Poland?

Yes.

Poor ? Poland?? You are kidding us, Jarek, don't you ?? Compare to Slovenia, Croatia, not to mention Greece your conutry is Dubai.....I'm working on a regulary basis with Poland and it is unbelivable, how much mony is in your country, how strong is your economy....

Speaking for rally : compare entry list from your national rally with one of above mentioned. Everything clear?? So, don't tell me you are poor....

[N.O.T]

Kubica is more of a laughing stock than a WRC driver... i do not know if he wants or can stay for another 10-20-30 years but with so many accidents his career will end by either hurting himself again, hurst his co-driver or hurt spectators...

there is a saying "Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error."

Plus his physical appearance doesn't help him much to stay in the sport.

The GPD per capita is significantly higher in Slovenia than in Poland. Of course the GPD for the whole country is higher in Poland which is clear because of it´s bigger country size. A national championship in a small country like Slovenia can´t be more attractive than in countries like Poland, there aren´t as many possible sponsors. But back to topic: I´m sure that LOTOS will sponsor Robert as long as he wants to compete in the World Championship.

I'm not. I think the reason why Kubica have his sponsor is due to his popularity because he was a former F1 driver. This was very good latest years and is still working but it can last forever. Last two years you could see more article and attention towards him. Now it is slowly fading away due to his lack of results and all the accidents.
