Adelaide Rally win for Rullo and Glenney

It was a Rullo one-two in the standings, with Alex Rullo’s father Peter Rullo and his navigator James Marquet in second place, one minute and 26 seconds behind the winning entry.

Alex Rullo and Glenney also took out the Adelaide Tourist Trophy, for the highest-place Competition category crews who reside outside of South Australia.

“It was a really good event for us, the car was on rails all weekend,” Alex Rullo explained. “I was getting a feel for the roads, and we settled into a nice rhythm.

“Of course, there is going to be a lot of learning at an event like this, and with cold tyres, it was super slippery. Once they were warm, however, it was nice and grippy and the car was really comfortable to drive on the limit.

“We had a good gap after Friday so we could relax a little bit through Saturday and Sunday, and didn’t take risks where we didn’t need to.”

Behind the family duo from Western Australia, 2023 joint winners Oscar Matthews/Naomi Tillett were the best-placed South Australian entries in third place.
