ROBERT KUBICA HAS ENDED MONTHS OF SPECULATION ABOUT HIS FUTURE BY CONFIRMING TODAY THAT HE WILL REMAIN IN THE WRC IN 2015 AND WILL TACKLE EVERY ROUND OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

In his second full season at the sport’s highest level, the 30-year-old Grand Prix winner will again drive a Ford Fiesta RS WRC, co-driven by Maciek Szczepaniak, with backing from Polish oil company LOTOS. Kubica’s team will confirm later which organisation will run the car for him.

“After analysing the situation I decided to continue in WRC, where the challenge for me is still the biggest,” said Kubica, who admitted in October that he was considering a return to circuit racing.

“It took me a long time to make this decision, but there was no pressure at all. I wanted to be sure about it and I did not want to rush. There will be some more new things to come, but I will announce them later.”

A statement from Kubica’s management team read: “Robert and Maciek know all thirteen World Championship rounds. However, they approach this challenge with humility, aiming for consistency and gaining further experience – which will be crucial to confirm their abilities, already shown in their first full season in the most demanding rallies in the world.”

Kubica’s first competitive outing in 2015 will be at Rallye Monte-Carlo (22-25 January), the event he led this year on his debut in the Fiesta RS alongside Szczepaniak.


No surprise to me !

Place your bets on M-Sport as he has most experience with the Fiesta and I'm sure will be helped by the new paddle-shift ...

In this article from german "Rallye Magazin" it´s written he does the whole season with A-Style:

But I wonder if A-Style could manage the oversea rallyes? It´s a rather small team.

I wonder if we'll still have a gearlever alongside the paddle shift..?? (If the paddle broke, they still able to use gearlever)

Of course they will still have a mechanical gear lever as it's used to be with 2.0l. WRC cars.

Not really true I remember Duval having problems with paddle and had to use handbrake to shift gears then.
