Kubica denies he will quit rallying for a return to circuit racing

Robert Kubica has dismissed new offers to return to circuit racing and stressed his commitment to the World Rally Championship after missing last week's Rally Argentina.

Sources have admitted that since the Polish ex-Formula 1 driver's decision not to tackle the Argentina WRC round, he has been approached with more potential seats in racing cars But Kubica laughed off any suggestion that his absence from the rally was a sign that he could leave the WRC.

"I can tell you for sure that I really missed not being in Argentina competing and I will be driving again in the Rally of Portugal," he said. "Like I said, we'll work on the team and the structure and we'll come back for round five."

Kubica and the A-Style team that ran his RK World Rally Team on the first three rounds of the season are currently in discussions over the best way forward. Relations between the two parties are understood to have been strained, leading to the decision to miss Argentina.

A-Style will be supplied with one of the all-new 2015 Ford Fiesta RS WRCs for the Rally of Portugal later this month, but it remains to be seen whether the Italian team continues to run Kubica or hands the car to him to use.

M-Sport has confirmed to AUTOSPORT it would not be possible to build a sixth Fiesta in time for Portugal's May 21 start. It remains a possibility that Kubica could return to the M-Sport fold and be run by the factory squad.
