ABBI PULLING Signs Multi-Year Deal with Nissan Formula E Team as Rookie Driver

June 16, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ABBI PULLING lands a multi-year deal with Nissan Formula E Team as their rookie and simulator driver, building on her standout performance during the all-women’s test in Madrid where she topped the timesheets. The 22-year-old’s speed and adaptability to the GEN3 Evo car clearly made an impression, with team principal Tommaso Volpe praising her ability to “adapt incredibly quickly” to Formula E’s unique challenges.
This move comes fresh off PULLING’s dominant 2024 F1 Academy championship season, adding another milestone to her already impressive resume that includes being the first female driver to win a British F4 race. Her diverse racing background across multiple series – from F4 to GB3 where she finished fifth at Silverstone this year – demonstrates exactly the kind of adaptability Formula E demands.
Beyond just driving duties, PULLING will be integral to Nissan’s technical development, working on simulator preparation and helping establish their new Dynisma simulator ahead of Season 12. It’s refreshing to see a team create a comprehensive role that gives a promising driver meaningful responsibilities rather than just token appearances – this is how you actually develop talent instead of just paying lip service to inclusion.
