I think Todt has the experience to be able to do a good job as the head of the FIA (whether he chooses to or not is another thing altogether).

He started out as Guy Frequilan's (spelling) co-driver in the Talbot-Lotus Rally team in the early days of the WRC (Guy eventually becoming the head of Citreon-Sport). After that he ran the Talbot-Peugeot Rally team who won multiple Championship's with multiple driver's (Ari Vatanen being one driver he employed) as well as Dakar rally's before he moved to F1.

Given all of this he is capable of doing a good job but nobody really knows what has been done behind the scenes to get him to this position.

You forgot to say that Todt managed Peugeot's Le Mans effort too, which also ended with the team wining the 24hours race!

So he is the most successful all rounder team boss in motorsport:
rally championships, Rally raid wins in Paris Dakkar, Le Mans 24 hours wins and 6 drivers + 7 constructors F1 championships.
