BRITISH RACER PULLING AIMS FOR FORMULA 3 SEAT AFTER TEST RUN IN FRANCE

W Series racer Abbi Pulling got her first chance to sample an FIA Formula 3 machine during a test session at Magny-Cours last week as she evaluates her options.

She drove alongside fellow female driver Hamda Al Qubaisi in the running, which was overseen by newly crowned FIA Formula 3 title winner Victor Martins.

Nineteen-year-old Pulling, who is fourth in this year’s W Series with four rounds remaining, is an Alpine junior driver. She said: “Once you realise that when you go faster actually you get more grip, it’s better. It was the biggest thing to adapt to, getting the confidence to not put your feet off the throttle and keep it in, especially entering the fast chicanes, to get the aero to work, you have to turn in flat.”

The W Series resumes next weekend, alongside the grand prix in Singapore.
