According to British magazine Autosport, Robert Kubica would be close to a deal with M-Sport to contest the new European Rally Championship behind the wheel of a modified Ford Fiesta.
After he contested several local rallies in Italy last months, the Pole ran in the Rallye du Var, last round of the French rally championship, driving a Citroen C4. After he easily dominated the event, Kubica finally crashed in the very last stage of the rally following a wrong pace note.
Robert Kubica, who seriously injured his right forearm during a rally crash in Italy bak in 2011, was linked to a future with Citroen, but now it seems he is close to M-Sport that would run for him a Fiesta fitted with a modified gearbox system with the two paddle shifts to be located on the left of the steering wheel.
The new European Rally Championship will be launched in 2013, replacing the Intercontinental Rally Challenge that ran until this year. The first round will be presented quite early in the year, with the Internationale Jänner Rally to be run in Austria, January 3 to 5.
