Is the "Krakow Kid" on the comeback trail
to Formula 1?
As Y'all should know by now, recently ex-BMW Sauber
F1 Team Standout Robert Kubica finally made his way back behind the seat of a
Formula 1 chassis after an agonizingly long six-plus years hiatus, after his
horrific Rallying Shunt Wayback in early 2011.
And as typical here in Nofendersville, hard
to believe it's already been five years since I harvested my last story 'bout
Messer Kubica, who was then suffering from another setback towards recovery,
when re-breaking his leg when slipping on ice.
Yet Robert's since gone onto return to racing
in late 2012 and then promptly win the World Rally Championship's inaugural
WRC2 title in 2013 before moving up to what good 'Ol Awntie Harriet would call
the B-I-G BOYZ', when Kubica became a Fulltime WRC competitor for a privateer
effort prepared by FoMoCo's (Ford Motor Company) Factory M Sport squad, with
mixed results before grinding to a halt last year, albeit reportedly amassing
14 Stage wins during his WRC career.
Next, believe Kubica stirred up anticipation
towards a possible Formula E debut earlier this year. With hopes of contesting
this year's New York event, July 15-16, the current 2016-17 season's
penultimate rounds.
Along with a short lived test outing for the
privateer World Endurance Championship (WEC) byKolles LMP1 effort for this
year's Le Mans, before abruptly walking away.
Now comes word that the likeable Pole' will
participate in this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, June 29-July 2; where
he'll chauffer a 2012 Lotus E20 Formula 1 chassis during the Hillclimb segment.
Hmm? Interesting how all of the speculation over
Kubica's possible return to F1 center round his private test aboard le Reggie's
Enstone base's former namesake's Lotus E20, in a 2012 F1 chassis, presumably
the very same mount he'll occupy at Goodwood, eh?
