Robert Kubica’s DTM race seat looks set to be announced on Thursday.
The well-connected Polish source Powrot Roberta claims that despite BMW’s works DTM concern having overlooked the former Williams driver, Kubica will instead race a BMW-prepared private car in the German touring car series.
35-year-old Kubica, who will also be Alfa Romeo’s reserve driver in Formula 1 this year, will be backed in both F1 and DTM by PKN Orlen.
The source said the DTM announcement will be made on Thursday at a press conference attended by the Polish oil company’s president Daniel Obajtek.
