ABBI PULLING Powers Nissan’s Remote Formula E Operations From Paris Base

August 8, 2026

• ABBI PULLING, F1 Academy champion, serves as Nissan’s rookie and simulator driver, operating remotely from Paris during race weekends across global circuits thousands of miles away, sometimes working antisocial hours.
• While male teammates Oliver Rowland and Norman Nato compete on track, PULLING runs the advanced Dynisma DMG-1 simulator as part of a six-engineer team testing alternative strategies and setups in real-time.
• Nissan’s simulator program echoes GT Academy’s legacy—turning gaming into professional racing—though the DMG-1’s five-millisecond response time vastly exceeds PlayStation technology that launched careers like Jann Mardenborough’s.
• The simulator work proves crucial for GEN4 development, with 816hp all-wheel-drive cars hitting 62mph in 1.8 seconds. Virtual testing reduces physical track time needed for increasingly complex machinery.
