Aleksander Ruta (born 6 August 2008) is a Polish racing driver currently competing for Van Amersfoort Racing in the Italian F4 and E4 Championships.
Career
Karting (2022–2024)
Ruta began karting in 2022, competing until 2024.[1] During his short karting career, Ruta most notably finished second in the 2024 Rok Cup Poland's Senior Rok standings,[2] and also participated in the 2023 Rok Cup Superfinal, also in Senior Rok.[3]
Formula 4 (2025–present)
2025
In early 2025, Ruta made his single-seater debut by joining Cram Motorsport to race in the Formula Winter Series.[4][5] After scoring his first points in race one at Aragón by finishing tenth,[6] Ruta switched to Van Amersfoort Racing for the season finale,[7] where he scored points again by finishing 11th in race one, en route to a 21st-place points finish.[8] Despite being set to race in Italian F4 for Cram,[9] Ruta elected to continue with VAR to race in the series,[10][11] as he started off the season with seventh- and eighth-place finishes in races three and four in round two at Vallelunga, as well as a rookie podium in the former.[12] Ruta then scored two points finishes between the Mugello and Barcelona rounds,[13][14] before ending the season with a pair of ninth-place finishes at Misano to end the year 23rd in the overall standings.[15] During 2025, Ruta also raced with the team in the E4 Championship,[16] in which he scored four rookie podiums between the Le Castellet and Mugello rounds, including a best overall result of seventh in the latter's race one to take 13th in points.[17][18]
2026
Remaining with Van Amersfoort Racing for 2026, Ruta raced with them for a triple campaign in the Formula Winter Series, Italian F4 and E4 Championships.[19] In the Winter Series, Ruta began the year by scoring points four times across the Estoril and Algarve rounds,[20][21] before finishing on the podium in all three races at Valencia, which included his first-ever career win in race two.[22] Ruta then finished tenth in race one in the following round at Aragón,[23] before skipping the remaining two races and the season-ending Barcelona round after injuring his hand in said race.[24]
