Geez a lunch break, that's a blast from the past. Do they still exist?

2 of 6th places last year - neither really on merit.
Other than that he was never in the top ten.
Pretty poor for a guy in a COF and with main-game support.

So be it I guess. More of the pie for everyone else. Personally I don't feel it would detract from the show at all, never really understood the want for more cars on the grid, especially when the quality is questionable. Australia's small tracks make smaller grids more practical anyhow

To some in the VASC fraternity, they wouldn't be missed if they didn't continue on

Oh well that's totally OK then.

Its clear he deserves to be on the grid.

[peckstar]

good that the article clariefied his points.

Still well short

Rullo only being 16 years old, and having scored just five Superlicence points in his two full seasons of circuit racing (four for second in the Kumho Series in 2015, and one for 17th in the Dunlop Series last year).

Its potentially more, depending where the accidents take place

Yes for me they do

Yep fingers crossed Andre can pull this off,
Having two underexperienced rookies in one team is a very bad idea I like having alex there he's quite talented imo but I think the superlicense deal is fair he's only getting it on a round by round basis if he's too slow or wreaking havoc he'll lose it I doubt he'll cause any trouble though

Maybe the family promised to run a F4 as well

Percats Wynns ...... no Wait Clipsal car "nearly" Pips Mobil HSV Car as the best livery thus far.

So looks like you can set rules but them change them to suit the field for a 16 year old....yeah yeah yeah bla bla bla dispensation , will be reviewed per race basis.

Half the bl00dy drivers out there could have been shot on a race per race basis on account of their driving standards....

More cars attract more manufacturer interest.

Hopefully a manufacturer buys out LDM for cheap to establish a factory team

I think LDM would take a deal with factory backing if he got it, more money and more potential

[peckstar]

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere but Rullo will be No 62

Agreed but would a manufacturer want to be with him?? His results have been subpar since he established the team but with more funding who knows he could achieve

Manufacturers buying and owning teams is prohibited under the current rules

Really I genuinely never knew that, thanks ( not being sarcastic)

Begs the question why Supercars just haven't added more REC's year on year...

Toyota/Lexus, Kia, Chrysler etc should all be very impressed with the driving standards Rullo demonstrates this year.

Just think, our very own Verstappen!!!!

Rullo isn't a bad driver, I didn't see him take anyone out last year, the supposed 'talent' on the other hand did (Mr Le Brocq)
