Abbi Pulling (born 21 March 2003) is a British racing driver currently competing for JHR Developments in the F4 British Championship.
Career
Karting
Pulling started karting competitively in 2013 at the age of 9. She mainly developed her karting career in Britain, winning the Super 1 National Junior TKM Championship twice in 2017 and 2018.[1][2]
Ginetta Juniors and GT5 Challenge
Pulling began her racing career in early 2018, taking part in the first three rounds of the Ginetta Junior Championship for Total Control Racing, with little success.
She continued racing with equal machinery the following year as she switched to the Ginetta GT5 Challenge. She was usually down in the midfield throughout the season, but finished on a high with two consecutive 6th-place finishes at Donington Park.[3]
British F4
In 2020, Pulling made her single-seater debut, racing in the F4 British Championship alongside JHR Developments. She finished the season 6th in the standings with four podiums to her name.
She re-signed for the team going into the 2021 season, with aspirations to fight for the title.[4][5]
Formula Renault Eurocup
In late 2020, Pulling made a one-off appearance in Formula Renault Eurocup at Imola driving for Fernando Alonso's team. She would finish both races in last place as she struggled to find the pace.[6]
W Series
After taking part in pre-season testing at Anglesey Circuit in Wales, Pulling was announced on 11 June 2021 as one of five reserve drivers for the second season of the all-female Formula 3 championship, W Series.[7] She will make her debut at the third round of the championship at Silverstone, where she will coincide with her driver coach Alice Powell.[8][9]
