Abbi Pulling

Abbi Pulling is a pioneering British racing driver who has quickly become one of the most exciting talents in motorsport. With a reputation for pushing boundaries both on and off the track, she speaks passionately about her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated sport and the determination it takes to succeed at the highest level. One of her most significant milestones to date is becoming the 2024 F1 Academy champion, following a record-breaking season where she claimed nine wins, ten pole positions, and fourteen podiums - setting a new benchmark in the series.

Abbi’s love for motorsport began early, introduced to karting at the age of eight by her father, a former endurance motorbike racer. By nine, she was competing across the UK and soon established herself as a rising star, winning the Super 1 National Junior TKM Championshiptwice. Her transition into car racing came in 2018 with the Ginetta Junior Championship, and the following year she competed in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge. In 2020, she made her single-seater debut in the British F4 Championship, earning multiple podiums and later making history in 2024 as the first female race winner in the series, triumphing at Brands Hatch.

Beyond her F4 success, Abbi has impressed across several high-profile series, including the W Series, where she scored podium finishes and earned top-seven championship results. Her involvement with the Alpine Academy further underlined her potential, offering her valuable Formula 1 insight and training. In 2024, she topped the Formula E women’s test with Nissan, beating some of the biggest names in female motorsport. For her dominance in the F1 Academy, Abbi was awarded a fully funded seat for the 2025 GB3 Championship with Rodin Motorsport, continuing her upward trajectory in elite racing.

Abbi’s keynote talks blend adrenaline-fuelled anecdotes with real-world lessons on resilience, performance, and breaking through gender barriers. She speaks on important themes such as women in sport, empowering future athletes, and the impact of representation in competitive environments. Abbi Pulling is a powerful role model for young women and an exciting speaker for audiences of all kinds - from corporate leadership conferences to youth-focused events. Her journey isn’t just about racing - it’s about challenging norms, inspiring change, and showing what’s possible when talent meets tenacity.
