Polish driver Robert Kubica has won the first motorsport event he's competed in since the horrific crash he sustained in February 2011, the Ronde Gomitolo di Lana rally.
Kubica, a former Canadian Grand Prix winner in Formula One, won all four stages, crossing the finish nearly a minute ahead of his closest rival, Autosport.com has revealed.
The Pole, who drove for Sauber and Renault – now Lotus – in F1, was at the wheel of a Subaru Impreza World Rally Car.
Earlier this weekend, Kubica revealed his intentions of competing in another Italian rally this coming weekend, as well as his will to stage a comeback in F1 in 2014.
The Ronde Gomitolo di Lana rally was the first step towards a return to any motorsport discipline, and it proved succesful.
