I'm sure Rubens doesn't need a paycheck at this point in his life. He's no doubt doing this because he likes to drive and he likes to compete. Although some would consider this a step down from F1, it's still a challenge to drive one of these cars and Rubens will probably enjoy the lack of the bull**** any driver deals with in F1, and no doubt he'll enjoy the attention from the media and the fans. It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up liking racing in the US more than his post-Ferrari career in F1. If the team can put a decent car under him, I think he'll do well. He's a lot more talented than his results would indicate. He also seems like a decent guy. I ran into him at an airport following an F1 race a while back and he was quite happy to spend a little time with my son, which made his day.
Cheers,
JR
