Robert Kubica thread

[N.O.T]

He might be very interesting to see in RallyCross. Might be the perfect combo for him, if he want go back to racing.

Would his arm work in Touring car or GT racing?

are car controls different in Touring cars/GT than a rally car ??

driving with one hand is a challenge in any type of car...

Rallycross is too boring for Kubica. Driving GT car is much easier for him, because there are no hairpins on circuits (except GP Monte Carlo) and you don't need to use handbrake.

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. However, his goal is to be a works driver asap. In his polish interviews he is clear about what his goals are and that's not racing/rallycross/whatever other than WRC.

I think you're very wrong. To me it looks like it'll be over after this season.
It doesn't look like there is enough money from sponsors (absence in Australia), and I can't see some other big sponsors for him.
He said that next year he don't want to continue like this and he won't be a works driver. So I think he'll go racing next year.

I like Robert very much, I support him, I'm big fan of him, have respect....but with his limitation it is more than obviousley, that he is not capable to drive three days event on maximum....he proved to be on some stages in the top-five (which is remarkable compare to the experience he has against drivers like Sordo, Neuville, Ostberg....not to mention Prokop), but on a long term he can not hold the rythem for 300-350 km.
If a reason for this is his right arm or he still does not listen his codriver or he makes bad notes; those are questions on which we will never get the answers.
If he likes this sport so much, there are still possibilities to drive a WRC car (Czech republic, Italy) on one day events.....I know he is very popular in Italy...
On the other hand-if he insists on WRC events, than I'm afraid this is his last season (finger cross that I'm wrong).

I hope Robert continues but I wouldn't blame him if he stepped away.

Every round just seems to be like a hard luck story. Even when he's not crashing or making errors there are issues with the car (driveshaft - Sweden, alternator - Finland, engine - Germany). That has to be demoralising.

[Rallyper]

Is he still in learning mode? My answer is he probably is.

[Mariusz]

Schedule of Australia is kind of unfortunate for private teams because with only one car if something goes wrong then they wouldn't be able to take part in Corsica. This may be also the same reason why Martin Prokop is skipping Australia.

Dmack points system should added to WRC too. For each event non starter -> -25pts

A disgrace such kind of entry list
