Rodacy sa z Toba mistrzu!

The question should not be "Why was Robert Kuica rally driving". The question should be, "What kind of chimps designed and installed that piece-of-shit-barrier." Any motorist could have hit the barrier and been speared just like RObert.

Robert left the hospital today and will continue his rehab in Italy for his hand.

Since 2009, testing during the race season itself has been banned (from the week preceding the first Grand Prix to December 31), with the exception of a small number of straight-line aero tests.

@artyfarty3

The answer why he was driving rally is simple: Formula 1 testing restrictions.

In F1 regulations under testing is following:

"As the sport's technical demands have grown in recent years, so too has the importance of testing. But with the FIA ever mindful of rising costs, since 2009 teams have been limited to 15,000 test kilometres during a calendar year. Young driver training (one three-day test per year) and promotional events do not count towards this tally... (continues)
