Top team pledges support for emerging WA squad

IntelliSpatial Fleetcare Racing have announced their support of rapidly improving West Australian rally pairing, Kelly Thomas and Amelia Jordan, for the remainder of the 2025 rally season.

Thomas and Jordan drive a Subaru Impreza WRX in the West Australian Rally Championship and have been progressing together, while gaining experience in tricky conditions in their home state.

As Western Australia’s only all-girl team competing in the 2025 series, they are working hard to rise up the leaderboard and represent the next generation of women in motorsport.

Now, with support from one of the leading Australian Rally Championship teams, their times on the stages will no doubt improve.

IntelliSpatial Fleetcare Racing campaign two Hyundais in the country’s premier rally competition for Alex and Peter Rullo, and this step further cements the team’s involvement in various levels of the sport, including a commitment to young talent in the sport.

“Kelly and her team have impressed us with their professionalism and attitude towards their rallying, and we’re proud to support them in this year’s state championship,” Team Manager, Nigel Malcolm, said.

“Together they’ve achieved strong results and are punching above their weight, and we’re looking forward to seeing their progression, especially as they work on a newer, faster car for future rounds.

“We know that rallying is a sport full of passion and this team exemplifies that. I know that strong finishes are just around the corner for them.” 

A much newer Subaru is being built by Thomas and will be ready for action late in the season, or in early 2026, and will no doubt springboard them up the WA leaderboard, with even stronger results than they’ve achieved before.

Already securing several top 10 finishes in the series, Thomas also has experience in several Australian Rally Championship rounds, both as a driver and co-driver.

She won the 2024 Australian 2WD Rally Championship as a co-driver, and has also driven in national championship rounds in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales.

It’s that experience that is helping them on their progression, while also inspiring young women in their pursuit.

The next round of the 2025 West Australian Rally Championship will take place at the Fleetcare-supported Safari in Grimwade event, on June 21.

Kelly Thomas, Driver

Kelly’s rally journey began the moment she was old enough to get behind the wheel. She cut her teeth in grassroots motorsport and began co-driving for her father, Dave, in 2017.

They built a Subaru in 2018 and her driving talent took her to the 2019 Asia Pacific International Taipei Team Gymkahana Prize.

Her 2024 ARC 2WD Cup title is the highlight of her co-driving career, while her driving performances are continuing to take her up the leaderboard in Western Australia.

Amelia Jordan, Co-Driver

Amelia has proven results in rallying on both gravel and tarmac right from a young age of 16.

She has several class wins on each tricky surface and is progressing with Kelly to the West Australian Rally Championship.

Studying Motorsport Engineering, Amelia is passionate about her rally career and helping other young women get involved in motorsport.
