Abbi Pulling will be back in the F1 Academy next year and she has also signed up for the British F4 Championship.
The Gosberton motor racing starlet will be back competing for the Robin Carlin team in both the series.
In the F1 Academy she will actually be racing in the livery of Team Alpine.
That’s because she’ll remain in the Forumla One team’s academy for the new season and is one of 10 officially part of the academy.
Abbi stormed through the season taking a total of seven podiums and two pole positions on her way to fifth overall in the standings.
Always finding herself firmly in the mix, she pulled off multiple fantastic overtaking manoeuvres and has established herself as a front runner going into her second season.
Pulling becomes the first driver in Rodin Carlin’s F1 Academy line-up to be confirmed which will support the F1 calendar for selected rounds following a change for the 2024 season.
The sophomore year will seethe field challenged with a brilliant calendar taking in exciting new circuits such as Singapore, Miami and Qatar.
Pulling will run a programme with reigning Team Champions Rodin Carlin in the ROKiT F4 British Championship alongside her F1 Academy season as she continues to get as much experience behind the wheel as possible.
Pulling said, “I’m ecstatic to be coming back with Rodin Carlin in 2024.
“We had some highs and lows in our 2023 campaign, but it was the best group of people to work with and learn with; it really feels like a second family.
“We’re pushing hard for 2024, and I think we have an exciting year lined up.
“We’re going to quite a few unknown tracks such as Jeddah and Qatar so the limited track time prior to the new events will be a good challenge together as a team.
“I’m honoured to be representing Alpine for another season in the F1 Academy and thank them for their continued support with my development.
“It’s also going to be really great to be head back to the British F4 Championship there’s certainly some unfinished business there and I’m pleased to be able to race in such a brilliant championship with Rodin Carlin where they have such a great history – I think we’re in for a great year together!”
F1 Academy Team Principal Stephanie Carlin added, “I am so pleased that both Abbi and Alpine have put their faith in the team again for the 2024 season.
“Abbi is a delight to work with and her speed behind the wheel and general work ethic is fantastic. Not only that, she’s a fantastic role model for other women in motorsport.
“Abbi was a star to watch last year and I have no doubt she will be a championship contender in 2024. I’m also pleased that she will be taking part in selected British F4 rounds which will give her even more time behind the wheel in another competitive championship.”
