Michael Caruso is an Australian professional racing driver who competed in the Supercars Championship between 2019 and 2024. Across six seasons and sixteen starts, he finished without wins or podiums, averaging a classification position of 13th. His most recent racing came in 2024, when he competed in two rounds before retiring from the sport.[1]
Caruso's record in the Supercars field shows him as a mid-grid competitor. Among his most frequent rivals were FIA Gold-graded drivers including Jack Le Brocq, Scott Pye, Will Davison and Lee Holdsworth; Caruso finished ahead of Le Brocq more often than not across fourteen shared races, but struggled against the others, particularly Holdsworth, whom he beat on just three occasions in thirteen encounters. Against Nick Percat, a comparable professional, he achieved an even head-to-head record of seven wins to seven losses. He showed occasional competitive moments against stronger drivers; he finished ahead of FIA Platinum-graded Scott McLaughlin once, and recorded three victories over FIA Gold champion Brodie Kostecki across their limited meetings, though these represent isolated results rather than a sustained pattern. Most of his racing came with DeWalt Racing, where he accumulated fourteen of his sixteen starts with no success at that team, and his final appearances came in endurance competition.[2]
