Robert Kubica onboard (again): Time For Tea?

If Kubica drives like this before the WRC, what will his championship drives be like?

Yes, we know a Robert Kubica onboard video has featured in this slot previously, but this latest clip really is worth a watch.

With M-Sport signing Kubica for a full WRC drive this year, he's clearly deemed it appropriate to get some practice in. This video is from the Janner Rally that took place last weekend in Oberosterreich, an event Kubica won by 20 seconds. He's not exactly got rusty and sluggish over Christmas then.

Watching through the windscreen of Kubica's Fiesta on special stage 18 is proper heart-in-the-mouth stuff. Despite the bonnet being festooned with additional spotlights, visibility is hardly great. Running wide and knocking a spotlight loose doesn't help matters.

But it's the sheer bravery (lunacy?) that astounds. Kubica absolutely on it for the full sixteen minutes despite the conditions. See in particular from 2:45 when he runs completely off the stage, for example. Bonkers.

Anyone who fears the WRC will be dull this year should watch this first. Bring on Monte Carlo!
