Friday favourite: The “pure enjoyment” Subaru that restarted Kubica’s racing journey

When speaking to Robert Kubica, his passion for all forms of motorsport quickly comes to the surface. So perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that when choosing his favourite car, the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix winner eschews the obvious pick of the BMW-Sauber F1.08 that he drove to his only Formula 1 victory in Montreal. In any case, he regards the 2005 F1 title-winning Renault R25 that he tested at Barcelona after winning that year’s Formula Renault 3.5 title as “the most amazing car I drove”.

For his favourite, Kubica instead picks a rally car but, given the very first vehicle the Pole bought with his own money was a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9, his choice of the Subaru Impreza S12B WRC 07 is perhaps a little unexpected.
