GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Fresh off her dominant F1 Academy championship win with nine victories from 14 races, ABBI PULLING stepped into the significantly more challenging GB3 Championship with the more powerful Tatuus MSV GB3-025. While her Silverstone debut delivered a top-five finish and proved she belonged at the sharp end, Zandvoort presented a tougher reality check as she battled just outside the top 10 all weekend.
- PULLING showed consistent pace throughout practice and qualifying at the Dutch circuit, running within seven tenths of the leaders and maintaining competitive lap times in the 1:34.5 range during races—often faster than cars around her. Despite starting P13 in all three races, she demonstrated strong racecraft, avoiding multiple incidents including a dramatic three-car crash at Turn 3 while fighting wheel-to-wheel battles throughout the weekend.
- Her best result came in the reverse grid finale where PULLING climbed to P11 after navigating safety car periods and defending brilliantly in three-wide action at Turn 1. While the P11, P13, P13 weekend results weren’t what she’d hoped for after her Silverstone success, the Rodin Motorsport driver proved she has the pace and racecraft to compete—she just needs time to fully adapt to the step up in car performance and field depth that defines GB3.
