Kubica to try his hand at rallying

[Tension_36th]

This is now confirmed. It will be interesting to watch Kubica try his hand at rallying, It will surely go well he has great car control like Kimi for this kind of sport.

Stoktos do you have anymore insight into this? Possible pictures when the event happens?

I'm so happy that he can try to race in another series than F1 xD

I know only that 27th-29th November will be next race du Var and Kubica will start there too

[alonso 4ever]

is he thinking to switch (in case we said adios to renault)??

or is it just a hobby?

[stoktos]

i think it's just a hobby, but...he told this year, that after F1 career he want to rallying

[Tension_36th]

There are plenty of teams who will grab Kubica.

But insider information says, Renault is definitely up for sale, it is in an advanced stage and their new buyer's identity will be revealed soon.If this is true then Kubica already knows about this and is certain about the team staying on in an new guise supplied by Renault engines (mecachrome). He won be without guarantees though, if there is a chance Renault cant be saved he will have arrangements to jump ship immediately but time it running out for that.

A decision has to be taken soon.

Kubica rallying is nothing new. He always doing it isnt it? Just like Kimi does. Both kimi and kubica were always talk about rallying long back. He has the same talent just like Kimi, i do ehard from Kubica once, he intend to do rallying after f1, just like kimi. I have never see him rally, so i will have a huge interest to see this event. hopefully sped tv has coverage. Stokos you must keep us updated ok?

[stoktos]

Kubica doesn't rallying, because BMW won't let him. He was karting, because he have own team called RK Team.
Sure I'll updating you! xD

[alonso 4ever]

i didn't know that.. he has his own team, welldone robert :)

thanks for the information stoktos

but to be honest, i hope to see kubica in F1 coz i like him alot and he's very talented

[icegirljenni]

If he can do rallying i would prefer to see him in rallying than in F1.He is not getting a good team in f1. In rallying at his age, he can climb to the top. His handling is powerful, very bright future for rally star.

Kubica is only for 1 year with renault many already know that even if he wont admit to it.

Kubica will go some big places in 2011 after 2010, plenty of seats will again be up for grabs.

Like that second Ferrari seat??


Unlikely, but ever so mouth-watering, lol

[Tension_36th]

Unlikely if Massa has no medical issues.

And no guarantees that Ferrari will be any good next year, Teams like Redbull and Brawn have shown over the season in their own ways they have superior engineering brains without large budgets.

Teams like Mclaren and Ferrari have shown they can only solve problems with many upgrades and spending a lot of money on resources. which wont be possible next season.

Its the reason why Ferrari are so scornful of new teams coming in, because they know they cant rely on money and resources to beat smart cheap and light budget teams with good engineers.

[icegirljenni]

Second seat for Ferrari, after 1 year i can think off is Sebastian Vettel. Kubica , i dont think Ferrari showing a strong interested in him.

[stoktos]

Ferrari were interested in Robert when they looking sb who could drive when Massa were in hospital, but Kubica didn't agree, because he told that he won't learn new car at the end of season

More importantly its a distraction since its just for 2009, its a waste of time unless he is getting a drive for 2010 and beyond, kubica is too good to just be a stand in for Ferrari to waste his time.

[alonso 4ever]

yes, i remember reading that..

kubica and alonso together (DREAM TEAM)

[stoktos]

For me dreama team will be Kubica, Alonso and Raikkonen together xD unfortunetly it's impossible :(

[pete]

the good thing about rallying is that it gives the drivers more control when it slides that what makesFinish drivers so good they are used to driving on ice and the car sliding everywhere and not losing it.

[stoktos]

Today was first part of Taormina-Messina rally. Kubica was 9th and 10th. I think it's very good for first time and in not so good car :)
Some pics:



He looks like in Brawn GP suit xD

[Tension_36th]

How many competitors where there?
