AF Corse stated that more information about the new relationship with Kubica will be revealed in the coming weeks. The announcement is expected to coincide with the release of the 2024 WEC grid. AF boss Amato Ferrari expressed his excitement about having Kubica on board and believes that his talent and professionalism will add value to the team. Kubica himself expressed his happiness about joining AF Corse, one of the most successful teams in motorsport, and being part of an Italian team once again.
