Abbi Pulling back with Nissan for second Formula E Women's Test

Nissan's Rookie and Simulator driver Abbi Pulling returns with the team in Valencia this month for Formula E's second Women's Test.

Pulling has plenty of experience in the Nissan e-4ORCE 05, topping the first of these sessions last year before also participating in the Berlin Rookie Test during Season 11. She has also completed simulator work as part of her role, which was announced in June, and attended multiple race weekends with the team.

As well as her responsibilities with Nissan Formula E Team, the F1 Academy champion has been racing in GB3 Championship in 2025, securing a podium during the recent event at Brands Hatch.

“I’m excited to get back on-track with Nissan Formula E Team and continue helping them to prepare for the upcoming season," says the Brit.

"My target for this test is to once again get to grips with the Nissan e-4ORCE 05 and build on my learnings from the Berlin Rookie Test. I’ve really enjoyed my time with the crew over the past year and I’m looking forward to continuing to work together at the test and in the simulator during the 2025/26 campaign.”

Pulling will now tackle her first outing for the Japanese squad of Season 12, the final campaign of the GEN3 era, at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. The test will take place on the final day of Pre-Season Testing on 31 October, with two three-hour sessions, running from 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00 local time (UTC +1).

"We’re very excited to see Abbi back on track after her appearances with the team last season, and to keep working with her and monitoring her progress," adds Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team.

"She has already demonstrated how skilled and professional she is, and we are all enjoying collaborating with her regularly since she officially joined the team back in June. This test is another great opportunity for Abbi to keep building on her experience and knowledge of the Nissan e-4ORCE 05, which will not only benefit her as a driver and in her role with us, but also the team.

"We have an ambitious program for her but she definitely has what it takes to succeed, and we’re all looking forward to having her back in the car."

Testing dates and Women's Test confirmed

This past week, Formula E confirmed all the details for the pre-season schedule in Valencia, including a return of the groundbreaking Women's Test on 31 October, with double the track time for the world's best women racers.

All of the teams on the grid will shake down their Season 12 machinery for the first time over 27-30 October at Circuit Ricardo Tormo with the only opportunity to get on-track collectively before the 2025/26 campaign kicks off with Round 1 from São Paulo on 6 December.
