Young racing talent set for full season campaign with reigning champions
Mundelein, Ill. – Turn 3 Motorsport is thrilled to announce Alessandro De Tullio has signed with the 2024 championship-winning team for the 2025 USF Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire. The 18-year-old Miami native joins the team following an impressive debut in the final three races of the 2024 USF Pro 2000 season, where he qualified and finished in the top 10 in his first outing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, earned a stellar fourth-place finish on the streets of Toronto and capped off the year with another top-10 performance at the Portland International Raceway season finale.
De Tullio, a rising talent in American motorsport, brings an impressive resume to Turn 3 Motorsport. His formula car journey began with notable success in the USF Juniors series in 2022, where he finished fourth in the championship standings. His season included five wins—three of which were a clean sweep at Virginia International Raceway—four additional podiums and five fastest laps. Beyond open-wheel racing, De Tullio has made a name for himself in both karting and Esports. He is a Road to Indy eSeries winner and was a formidable competitor in United States F4’s Esports Championship.
After his USF Juniors campaign, De Tullio returned to karting, finishing sixth in the USA SuperNationals for X30 Senior karts in 2022 and becoming the SKUSA Winter Series Champions in both X30 Pro and KA100 Senior karts in early 2024. His diverse racing background, blending real-world and virtual racing success, underscores his adaptability and potential.
De Tullio’s off-season preparation with Turn 3 Motorsport has been nothing short of impressive. During the USF Pro Championships Fall Combine in October, he consistently posted top-five times, concluding the final session with the second-fastest lap time. Further testing at NOLA Motorsports Park and Sebring International Raceway these past couple of weeks saw De Tullio consistently among the quickest drivers on track, solidifying his readiness for a full campaign in the highly competitive USF Pro 2000 series.
Alessandro De Tullio:
"I’m very excited to be joining Turn 3 Motorsport for the 2025 USF Pro 2000 season. We’ve had many positive test days, improving and having good pace at different tracks. I can’t wait to show what we can do together next year! I want to give a huge thanks to my partners DTI Group, Sport Summa and Inter MS for making this possible."
Peter Dempsey, Team Owner of Turn 3 Motorsport:
“It’s great to have Alessandro (De Tullio) with us for the 2025 season. He is a driver I have watched for a few years and always felt he is very talented, and his resume backs that up. He has settled in very well to the team, and we have improved at every test we have done together so far. We are really looking forward to seeing what he can for us in 2025.”
Turn 3 Motorsport heads into the 2025 season with high expectations as it continues to build on its strong foundation. With Alessandro De Tullio joining the team, Turn 3 Motorsport is poised for another successful campaign in the USF Pro 2000 Championship.
