Huge success in open wheelers and they aren't enduros.

He is a German F3 champion for crying out loud... same as a certain bloke called Schumacher.

Apart from the race distances the two are very much different. I'm a fan of Richie and I think a year developing and getting a feel for the series against the likes of Paul Dumbrell and a few wildcards will help, otherwise, there will be the idiotic armchair players who have never driven a race car and will bash him for bad performances, already happening to Rullo, and I think for Rullo he is doing a very good job in the worst car on the grid, yet there are some who think that
1. He is a rich spoilt brat who paid his way in
2. He is too young and doesn't use his brain
3. He is an arrogant person as is usual for younger people.

All three are so far from the truth, he isn't like the Kostecki's who did pay their way in and struggle to run go karts now. He does use his brain and keeps a very cool head when under pressure and being lapped and three, he isn't the slightest bit arrogant from what I see he is a very down to earth person, not as much as Lowndes, Winterbottom or Mostert but still willing to engage with his fans, which I don't see the likes of SVG, Todd Kelly or Rick Kelly doing too well
