ABBIE EATON Makes History as First Woman to Win Porsche Carrera Cup GB Race

August 3, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

ABBIE EATON carved her name into Porsche Carrera Cup GB history at Silverstone, becoming the first woman to secure pole position and claim an overall race victory in the series. After a challenging debut season learning the GT3 Cup car, her breakthrough weekend delivered both the pole and a commanding win in the second race, proving that persistence pays off when you’re willing to challenge yourself against the best.
Beyond breaking barriers on track, EATON is reshaping motorsport accessibility through her co-founded Rebelleo Motorsport initiative, partnering with Global Karting League to slash racing costs by 96%. Her 911’s livery boldly displays the brutal reality that reaching F1 now costs over $33 million, while her program offers an alternative path that doesn’t require a trust fund to compete at the highest levels.
Her racing resume reads like someone who refuses to back down: British GT GT4 Pro-Am Vice Champion, The Grand Tour test driver, W Series competitor who kept racing despite fractured vertebrae, and Racing Pride ambassador promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion. EATON’s message to aspiring female racers cuts through the noise: “Be tenacious, be determined, and don’t be deterred when doors get shut” – advice she’s clearly taken to heart.
