Kubica seems to have the skill to hold the car on the limit, but where he seems to falter is doing that consistently? Ie he can get himself up into a good position and post excellent times, but lacks the consistency of a Loeb or Ogier? And eventually makes a mistake. So perhaps a rally like this one with only 7 stages, is much more of a sprint and therefore suited to his skills?

Don´t forget Jänner Rallye 2014. But it was more than lucky that he finished there.

Everyone must remember one thing before making any conclusion. This is the guy second season ever raling on regular basic. It is like Ogier did karting few times in his life, then one season in some gp3 or other minor series, and next season he would end up in F1 being jugded by F1 funs by comparing him with alonso every time he makes mistake. Not very fair, is it.

Ok, but I think the rule "you have to participate in order to win it" still applies ;P
Not necessarily, you can show that you are fast but erratic (not consistent). He showed that many times, last was Monte Carlo, when he won some stages, and on the long stage he was on pace with Ogier, but ended in a ditch. Fast and erratic.
Not making it completely OT, here are some Kubica onboards from Rally del Casentino:

awesome the last video with best of!
I'm not a fan of bonnet view in the other ones
Imho Kubica on the tarmac is very close to the VW-guys
I found an article of last year about personal setup by Kubica, directly from his f1 experience for tarmac rally

should be interesting to know the differences with common setup adopted
