Former F1 driver Robert Kubica finished on the podium in his debut in the Renault Sport Trophy at Spa-Francorchamps this past weekend, helped no doubt by a stint on the Renault F1 team’s simulator at their Enstone factory.
Renault F1 team chief Frederic Vasseur told F1i, “He did spend some time in the simulator at Enstone. It’s not a secret. I have a good relationship with Robert.”
“It was interesting for me to put him in the sim just to have his feedback. And it was also the beginning of the story with the R.S.01. He has a big experience with the simulator because he drove a lot in it with our competitors,” added Vasseur.
The former BMW and Renault F1 driver finished place in Saturday’s Renault Sport Trophy endurance race in the Duqueine Engineering’s Renault R.S.01, which Kubica shared with Christophe Hamon. A day later he finished fourth in the Pro sprint race.
