Robert Kubica back in a racing car

Yesterday, was the first time that Robert Kubica had driven a high-specification racing car since the horrific rallying accident in February 2011 that left him with multiple fractures and a partially severed right arm. Robert Kubica driven a 2012 spec DTM Mercedes AMG C-coupe around the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. Kubica completed 114 laps of the Spanish track, in wet conditions before the track dried up.

Recent rumours that Kubica is working towards a European Rally Championship programme this season in selective rounds in a Ford Fiesta RRC, having already won national-level rallies in Italy from last season. Personally if we don't see Kubica back in Formula 1 for the next few years and his doing a few rounds in the ERC and possibly a full time drive in DTM each year, that will not be a bad option for the former F1 race winner. And remember these two things, Robert Kubica is still only 28 still a lot of time to have a career still in Formula 1 if it still happens. And finally remember Paul di Resta did won the DTM championship back in 2010 and went into Formula 1 the next season. That is not bad option for Robert Kubica, if that does happen.

Meanwhile, former Murussia and Toyota F1 driver Timo Glock will be a DTM racer this season with BMW which has been confirmed this morning. After Monday's announcement that Timo Glock was dropped from Marussia team for 2013 for finical reasons, which got him the drive from BMW to drive their race winning BMW M3 DTM race car for this season. So good luck to Timo Glock in his new career.



Things are looking much better from these former F1 stars.
