Alex Rullo has been dropped by Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport and will be replaced by Jack Perkins with immediate effect.
LDM and Rullo came to a mutual decision yesterday afternoon to terminate their contract and go theirย separate ways.
This means that Jack Perkins will be part of the team's line up at Pukekohe for the ITM Auckland SuperSprint this coming weekend.
โWe couldn't come to an agreement regarding next year, so both partiesย decided it was best to split now,โ said Lucas Dumbrell about the decisions to terminate Rullo's contract. โIt was a mutual decision. We thank Alex for his efforts this year and I wishย him all the best for the future.โ
โIt's good to have Jack (Perkins) back on board. He's been a friend of mine forย a long time and is a notable back up, having filled in for us before.โ
Perkins last substituted drive was in 2015, when he replaced anย injured Nick Percat at the Sydney 500.ย Jack will also take on the challenge at the Coates Hire Newcastle 500 fromย November 24 โ 26.
โI'm looking forward to having a drive in the car and any chance to cut someย laps in this category is great,โ said Perkins โPukekohe is a circuit that I have had great results at in the Supertourers (inย New Zealand). โHopefully we can push for some improved results for the team.โ
