A British teenager has been told she "has the dedication and talent to make it very far", after taking part in a special Formula 3 test for female drivers.
Abbi Pulling, alongside Hamda Al Qubaisi, experienced driving an F3 car for the first time on Friday in the testing event at Magny-Cours in France. The 19-year-old competes in W Series alongside fellow Brits Jamie Chadwick and Alice Powell.
Given her age and talent, she is regarded as one of the bright young racers who could blaze a trail for other female drivers. To do that, every experience is important – such as the 50 laps she got under her belt in one of the cars used in this year's F3 championship.
