Alexander John Rullo (born 15 June 2000) is an Australian racing car and rally driver. He currently drives in the Australian Rally Championship for IntelliSpatial Fleetcare Racing.
He has formerly driven in the TCR Australia Series for Kelly Racing. He has also co-driven with Simona de Silvestro in the No. 78 Nissan Altima in the Pirtek Enduro Cup.
Rullo also achieved a podium place at the 2025 World Time Attack Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park.[1]
Racing career
[edit]V8 Touring Car Series
[edit]Alex Rullo made his debut in the V8 Touring Car National Series at the age of 14, winning a race in his second event.[2] He managed to win four races out of the 15 contested and finished the season second overall for MW Motorsport.

Super2 Series
[edit]Rullo made his Dunlop Series debut for Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport in 2016, driving a Castrol-backed Holden VF Commodore for the full season. Rullo's best race finish was sixth (twice) and he finished 17th in the championship. In 2018 he will drive a Nissan Altima L33 with MW Motorsport.
Supercars Championship
[edit]In February 2017, an announcement was made that 16-year-old Rullo was to make his Supercars debut with Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport, the team which he raced with in the Development Series the year prior.
In doing so, he became the youngest driver in the championship's history.[3] Coincidentally, the previous driver to hold the record was Paul Dumbrell, the brother of Lucas, who debuted in 1999.[3]
It was reported that Alex would run the number No. 62 in which he had raced since his karting days.
Rullo did not qualify for the new-for-2017 CAMS Superlicense, and was given special dispensation to be reviewed on a race-by-race basis.[3]
He competed in the majority of the 2017 season and was a part of the Enduro Cup in both 2018 and 2019 for Nissan.
TCR Australia
[edit]In 2019 he raced in the inaugural TCR Australia Touring Car Series for Kelly Racing in a Holden Astra TCR.[4]
Rally
[edit]
Making the switch to rallying in 2022, Rullo progressed from a production-specification Mitsubishi to a Hyundai i20 N Rally2 for the 2023 season with the backing of internationally recognised rally team, Race Torque Engineering.[5]
In his first full-time season of 2023, he and co-driver Steve Glenney finished 12th in the Australian Rally Championship (ARC), and shot up to fifth overall in the 2024 season.[6]
Also in the 2024 season, he won the West Australian Rally Championship[7] and took victory on tarmac at the Adelaide Rally.[8]
For the 2025 season, he linked up with former World Rally Championship star, Hayden Paddon, to further progress in the series within the Race Torque Engineering stable.[9]
At the third round, Rally Queensland, their combined results delivered Hyundai Australia's first 1-2 finish in ARC history.[10]
