GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ABBI PULLING showed she belongs at the top level by finishing fourth overall in GB3’s first official test at Snetterton, just 0.394 seconds off the pace set by part-timer Freddie Slater. The reigning F1 Academy champion for Rodin Motorsport delivered her best lap in the final session, proving she can mix it with the established GB3 field right from the start.
  • BIANCA BUSTAMANTE made her GB3 debut with Elite Motorsport, finishing 18th overall in her first taste of the series. While the gap to the leaders looks significant on paper, she only completed 46 laps compared to most drivers’ 60-80 lap counts, suggesting her pace will improve as she gets more seat time in the new Tatuus chassis.
  • Both women are making significant steps up in their careers – PULLING transitioning from her F1 Academy championship success to British single-seaters, while BUSTAMANTE continues building her open-wheel resume. With testing continuing Thursday, we’ll get a clearer picture of where they stack up as teams dial in their setups and drivers learn the new GB3-025 car.

UPCOMING:

  • GB3 Testing Day 2 – Snetterton Circuit
  • GB3 Season Opener – TBA
