Eaton to make Revolution debut on racing return
W Series driver Abbie Eaton will make her debut at the wheel of a Revolution A-one in the Sports Prototype Cup at Zandvoort next month.
It will be a racing return for the 30-year-old, who broke her back last October at the Circuit of The Americas during a W Series race.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back into a race car again,” said Eaton, who will share the car with Jorge Calado at the event on 9-10 April. It’ll be my first time on track in a proper race car since the accident, so I can’t wait to see how my physiotherapy and rehabilitation is paying off. I need to learn where I am in the process and what areas are good, and what areas I need to target more to be strong on track again.”
Six-time Olympic cycling gold medallist Chris Hoy will also be racing a Revolution, staying on in the series after taking a victory at Silverstone last year.
