Racing driver Abbie Eaton on inclusion in the sport: ‘It’s better than when I started but we need to keep pushing’
The driving star on Racing Pride – the sport’s LGBTQ+ charity – competing with her partner Jessica, and her favourite James Bond car.A Renault Clio.
And you know what? I was really sensible. I guess I’ve always saved the speeding for the track.I’m lucky to have a partnership with a BMW dealership in Colchester.
I’m currently driving an X3 M Competition and it’s a pocket rocket. It’s a 503bhp SUV but you don’t feel the size of it.I met Jess before the W Series.
Motorsport is a small world, especially for the female drivers. I remember crossing paths with her at Goodwood and seeing what she was up to but when I came to W Series we got to know each other a bit more, became friends and now we’ve been together for two and a half years almost.We’re always competitive – we’d be rubbish racing drivers if we weren’t.
