His next step will be competing in a Citroen DS3 WRC car, in the top class, at Wales Rally GB in November.
Kubica said: "This one-off outing for the works team is a great opportunity for me, but it’s also a huge challenge. Wales Rally GB wasn’t part of my original programme, so I’m very happy to be able to have this precious experience. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my partners, and especially the Lotos Group and Citroën Racing for having made this possible."

To return to competition and be successful is astounding, and to be elevated to WRC is testament to his fortitude as a person. F1 lost a real character, but WRC has gained one.
The Wales Rally GB will take place from 14-17 November. It has moved from South Wales to its traditional territory in North Wales. The service park is in Deeside, Flintshire.
