Yeah, lots of people consider every class as a step of the ladder necessary to be taken. But I'm more of the others, which may consider real talent only when it comes to the top level of a championship. There are plenty examples of drivers which are not so good in 1 category and much better in higher category, and of course the opposite (who of course are the majority, but that is where the difference comes - the majority don't become world champions one day). Suninen had 2 chances to prove himself fast so far in WRC car and he did it more than probably 99% of the people expected. Of course there will always be critics of overdriving, offs, luck, and so, so on, but IMO he did fine job getting results and learning as much in the process.
