Alex Rullo has made his first move in life after Supercars, confirming he’ll test at BTCC car at Brands Hatch next week.

The Western Australian teenager, who was left without a drive after parting ways with LD Motorsport team ahead of the last Supercars round at Pukekohe, will head to the UK next week to test one of the Power Maxed Racing’s Vauxhall Astra’s on the 23rd November.

“It’s a long way to travel for one day, so naturally I wanted to test with a developing top team,” said Rullo.

“I have thought long and hard about my options for 2018, the BTCC is an incredible series and could be the way to go for us in 2018, so when we contacted Adam Weaver and then he subsequently offered me the opportunity naturally I jumped at it,”.

Power Maxed Racing are currently assessing their drivers for the 2018 BTCC season and are interested in seeing how the Australian goes.

“Any testing days done give us further information on the car, and allow us to start thinking about what kind of drivers we might want to bring in and set up required to help us get pole positions and hopefully therefore more podiums next year.” said Martin Broadhurst, Team Manager for Power Maxed Racing
