Confirmed: Robert Kubica in WRC this season in a Citroen DS3 RRC

Despite, Robert Kubica didn't got a drive in DTM this season. It has been confirmed this morning that that Robert Kubica will return to action this season with an entry into the WRC-2 category of the World Rally Championship.



The former BMW Sauber and Renault driver will join the series in Rally Portugal next month having agreed terms on a deal with Citroen that will see do seven WRC rounds this year at the wheel of a new Citroen DS3 RRC.

The former grand prix winner will begin his season with the European Rally Championship's Rally Canary Islands on March 21-23 before starting his WRC2 programme at Rally Portugal on April 11-14.

Personally, this is good news for the former Renault driver as this is another big step back into motor-racing since his big accident in February 2011, were he was heavily injured in a crash on the first stage of the Ronde di Andora rally near Genoa in Italy, were Kubica heavily injured his right arm, hand and leg. Also, I would have liked him be in DTM this season with Mercedes instead of WRC-2, but this is still good news for the former grand prix winner today nonetheless.

End of post/blog for now, new post soon. Bye.
