From press release
Citroen, that will make its WTCC debuts next season, would like Robert Kubica to join the team for at least one round.
During the last WTCC round in Porto, Yves Matton had a press conference following the announcement of Citroen's arrival in the championship next season. Team Principal Yves Matton talked about the driver that could be ran in the team.
"If he was interested, we would certainly like to bring (ex Formula One and current Citroën rally driver) Robert Kubica to at least one round next year," he said.
Testing is planned to begin this summer and the team is looking for a driver to partner Sebastien Loeb who has "extensive previous experience of the WTCC".
"The WTCC is a global discipline and it's very important for a brand like Citroën to be involved in the Championship and in particular the rounds in some of our key markets," he added. "With the new regulations, the budget is very reasonable and the car we will use is a car the customer can identify - that is very important for us."
