The Renault Formula One team has confirmed that former F1 driver Robert Kubica will be undertaking his second test for the team in the very near future.

After his initial test for the team at the Valencia circuit in Spain on June 7th, Robert will now progress to the V8 powered 2012 E20 where he will undertake a special programme at the Paul Ricard Circuit in France that will extensively evaluate his driving capabilities.

The Polish driver has already admitted that he believes he is ready to return to the pinnacle of Motorsports after a rally car ended his F1 career many years ago, but admits there is still a chance he won't be able to do it.

"If you asked me how much I was realistically thinking that coming back to F1 was possible, I would have put myself up to 10 or maximum 20 percent chance," he was quoted as saying in Auto Express. "Because the clock is ticking, not just the classification, but also I am getting older. F1 is going so fast that some people forget, not everyone, but some. Because I'm very realistic, and I'm keeping my feet on the ground, I'd put (my return) at 80 or 90 percent."

Whilst the first day of testing at Valencia was no more than to let Robert get reacquainted with the feel of driving again, this second test will be to assess his capabilities to return to the highest level of competition,” explained Cyril Abiteboul, Managing Director, Renault Sport Racing.

“This is a new phase in his personal and professional journey and we are proud to support him in the form of lending our infrastructure at Paul Ricard that is suitable for professional and non-professional drivers. There are still many hurdles for him to overcome, and he knows better than anyone else that only his performance will determine if he can one day return to being a professional driver.”
