After making an understated return to rally driving this autumn, Robert Kubica is now set to move up a gear by choosing to compete in two rallies in a C4 WRC this coming November. A new challenge for the track racer, who is above all looking forward to enjoying the thrill of racing in a high performance car again.

Following a prolonged period away from motorsport, the Polish driver gradually began driving again beforereturning to competitive action. After claiming two wins in Italy in September, the obvious choice was for himto decide to move up another step by driving a Citron C4 WRC at the Rally di Como and the Rallye du Var,which are due to be held towards the end of the season.

I cant wait to drive a car that is as quick and has been as successful as the C4 WRC, enthused RobertKubica. Rallying is one of my favourite forms of motorsport. After completing a test session so that I can getused to the car, competing in the Rally di Como will above all be an opportunity to get to a feel for the carand learn more about driving it in racing conditions. The objective will be different for the Rallye du Var. Thiswill be the third time I have taken part, so its a rally with which I am already familiar and where I feelcomfortable. And although first and foremost I want to rack up as many miles as possible and improve in thecategory!

Stage one is therefore due to be held in Erba in the north of Italy on 15-17 November. The rally will feature126 kilometres of timed stages on roads around Lake Como: a perfect warm-up for the following weekendsevent, the Rallye du Var, which is the eighth and final round of the French Tarmac Rally Championship.Gong of Pirelli, like so many before him.
