WEC: Robert Kubica's "crucial" stint puts WRT on cusp of title
The #41 WRT ORECA 07, driven by Kubica, Deletraz, and Andrade, dropped from second to sixth place after being hit by the #23 United Autosports entry, resulting in a time penalty for Pierson. However, the #41 team managed to recover and make their way back to the front of the pack, eventually winning their class by a comfortable 16 seconds. Kubica played a crucial role in the team’s victory by driving during the middle of the race and closing the gap to the race leaders. According to Kubica, managing the degradation of the tires and fuel consumption was key to their success. The win in Fuji puts the WRT team in a strong position for the championship, with their closest rivals not scoring many points in this race. They now plan to execute another clean weekend in Bahrain to secure the championship.
