He has earned championship titles in the 2014 Australian Formula Ford Series, 2017 Toyota Racing Series, and 2020 Super2 Series. Among his honors are the Mike Kable Young Gun Award (2018), the BRDC Innes Ireland Trophy (2020), and the Peter Brock Medal (2023).
Karting
Prior to entering single-seater racing, Randle demonstrated strong performance in Australian karting, capturing the Junior Clubman category at the 2012 Australian National Sprint Kart Championship as well as winning the Rotax Junior division at the Australian Rotax Nationals.
Formula Ford and Formula 4
Randle’s single-seater debut came in 2013 with Evans Motorsport Group in the Australian Formula Ford Championship, where he finished seventh overall, achieving two podium finishes and scoring points in thirteen races. The following year, he switched to Dream Motorsport and narrowly clinched the championship by just four points over Jordan Lloyd.
In 2015, continuing with Dream Motorsport for the inaugural Australian Formula 4 Championship, Randle ended the season as runner-up to Lloyd, despite winning five races, finishing 54 points behind.
Formula 3
In 2016, Randle relocated to Europe to compete in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship with Douglas Motorsport. He secured wins at Rockingham and Spa-Francorchamps circuits and concluded the season fourth in the overall standings.
Formula V8 3.5
That same year, Randle made his debut in Formula V8 3.5 at Jerez, driving for Comtec Racing.
Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0
In 2017, Randle participated in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series with AVF by Adrián Vallés. He scored points in nine out of sixteen races and achieved his best result of fourth place at Red Bull Ring, finishing 14th in the championship.
Super2 Series
Randle progressed to the Dunlop Super2 Series in 2018 behind the wheel of a Ford FG X Falcon for Tickford Racing. He ultimately won the title in the 2020 Dunlop Super2 Series season.
S5000 Championship
After being unable to secure a seat in Super2 for 2021, Randle switched to competing in the Australian S5000 Championship with Team BRM, piloting an Onroak Ligier JS F3-S5000.
Supercars Championship
Randle commenced full-time competition in the Supercars Championship during 2022 with Castrol Racing, concluding his rookie year ranked 21st in the Drivers Championship. In 2023, he achieved his maiden Supercars podium by finishing third at The Bend, followed by earning his first pole position and a second-place finish on the subsequent day. He ended that season with a total of four podium appearances.
Personal life
In January 2020, Randle was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He is also the founder of Dream Simulation, a company providing sim racing rentals and coaching services aimed at enhancing drivers’ abilities across various motorsport disciplines.
Randle is pursuing university studies in Mechanical Engineering and has interests including volleyball and piano. In 2025, he appeared as a contestant on ABC’s television program The Piano.
