Robert Kubica thread

[Fast Eddie WRC]

I heard something about money from Lotos for a 8 rally but it can be kind of rumor from other planet...

Only in WRC2 endurance championship..

Exactly. Let's be honest. Kubica has never made any impressive results in a WRC car. He was good in slower cars only, like S2000/RRC/R5.

But still - good luck to him!

"The Renault guys love Kubica and not only because he is fast and almost error-free but also because there is nothing he would rather be doing than sitting in the garage talking about how to make the car faster.
And if it is not that it will be regaling the mechanics with stories from his karting days or talking about the rally car he competes in as a hobby between races.
When Kubica was a BMW driver he was asked what he would like as a company car and they did not know quite how to react when he replied: "A Mitsubishi Evo 7."

In the recent interview Maciej Szczepaniak (Kubica's co-driver) says that Robert is one of the three fastest rally drivers in the world. Do you think he has lost his mind? Or maybe is Szczepaniak's opinion affected by the fact that he drives with a very slow driver now and everyone looks faster in comparison?

I think it's just pure evidence...

Having an opinion doesn't mean to lose a mind, don't you think? Robert maybe one of the fastest, but he's not the most consistent, unfortunately. And due to his past experience I think he'll never be that kind of rally driver, he's just more the type of Meeke or Latvalla, very fast but prone to mistakes. With the time there will be less and less mistakes, but who knows how much time to gather experience he actually has.

i think he has just never driver with a real fast driver. kubica is fast, but i think a lot of drivers can be just as fast or even faster if they would take as much risks as him.
