Robert Kubica's motorsport resurgence continues! Today it has been confirmed he will race in the 2014 WRC with Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport team following his championship winning WRC2 campaign this year.
Kubica will switch WRC2 DS3 for Fiesta
Under the Lotos World Rally Team with Mikko Hirvonen and Elfyn Evans, Kubica will contest every WRC round in the M-Sport Fiesta. Confirmed drivers in other teams now include
Kris Meeke
in the Citroen DS3 and Thierry Neuville in the Hyundai i20. Sebastien Ogier will defend his
2013 title
Kubica has experience in a WRC car having tested an M-Sport Fiesta last summer and then, erm, crashing a DS3 (twice) on this year's Rally GB. But he outpaced the factory drivers in that 2012 and, as our Time For Tea? indicated, there can be no doubting his pace. Exciting times ahead for the WRC then.
Of the signing, Malcolm Wilson said: "I am thrilled that Robert will be contesting next season... since he burst onto the WRC scene earlier this year, we have been very keen to have him onboard and I think we can expect some great things from him in 2014".
