Robert Kubica was born on December 7, 1984, in Kraków, Poland, and is counted among his country’s most renowned motorsport athletes. Like many later professionals, he began his career in karting, where he demonstrated early technical aptitude and racing instinct, making a name for himself in international junior categories. These early years laid the foundation for a career that would take him through various formula series to Formula 1 and later to endurance racing.
Through the classic junior series of the formula ladder, Kubica worked his way up continuously, gaining experience in different chassis and regulations, building a reputation as a versatile, technically proficient driver. After stints in Formula 1 and other racing classes, he found his way into GT3 racing and the FIA World Endurance Championship, where LMP2-class prototypes became his new field of activity. The switch to endurance racing allowed him to combine his experience from open formula vehicles with the specific demands of distance racing.
The greatest documented success of his endurance racing career to date is winning the LMP2 class championship in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023. This title underscored Kubica’s ability to assert himself in a highly competitive environment against numerous experienced prototype drivers and confirmed his status as one of the most consistent drivers in the LMP2 field. The success was also an important milestone in his second career phase after Formula 1 and solidified his reputation in the international sportscar scene.
In the 2026 season, Robert Kubica will once again compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he continues to be counted among the most experienced and respected drivers in the field. His goal remains to build on the successes of recent years and regularly fight for podium finishes and class wins.
