ABBI PULLING Sets Sights on Full-Time Formula E Drive After P2 Women’s Test

November 2, 2025

• ABBI PULLING made her intentions crystal clear at the 2025 Formula E Women’s Test in Valencia, finishing just 0.064 seconds behind leader CHLOE CHAMBERS while working toward her ultimate goal of a full-time Formula E seat. The 2024 F1 Academy champion has been methodically building her case with Nissan, where she’s currently locked into a multi-year deal as simulator and rookie driver—but we all know that’s just the stepping stone to something bigger.
• The progression from F1 Academy dominance to GB3 to Formula E testing shows exactly how the pathway should work when series actually invest in their champions. PULLING’s F1 Academy title wasn’t just handed a trophy and a pat on the head—it came with that fully funded GB3 seat, where she scored points in 20 of 24 rounds and nabbed a podium at Brands Hatch. Now Nissan is betting on her long-term potential, giving her the tools and track time to prove she belongs in the all-electric series.
• The 2025 Women’s Test results tell the story we’ve been waiting to see: genuine competitive depth among female drivers pushing each other to new levels. CHAMBERS topped the timing sheets, but PULLING, BIANCA BUSTAMANTE, ALICE POWELL, and ELLA LLOYD were all within a second—that’s proper racing, not token participation. With only four women having competed in Formula E’s history, including SIMONA DE SILVESTRO’s two-season run with Andretti, the series has a real opportunity to change that narrative if they’re serious about backing talent instead of just hosting test days.
