BIOGRAPHY

Abbie Eaton | British Racing Driver 

 

She spent her childhood at race circuits in the UK watching her Dad compete, and after a lot of pestering, got her first go-kart aged 10. Abbie competed nationally in karts until the age of 15, learning the foundations of race craft and competitive driving.

​

Coming from a working-class background, finances were always challenging, but Abbie remained focused and worked tirelessly from a young age to try and raise the funds to compete, which has been a common theme throughout her 20+ year career.

​

Nevertheless, Abbie has enjoyed great success in various forms of motorsport and would argue that not having been born with a silver spoon in her mouth has made her work harder, be more determined and has definitely played a part in her accomplishments.

​

Highlights include being the Class Production Touring Car Champion, British Mazda Mx5 Supercup Champion, and the first female class winner of Blancpain Endurance Championship.

​

She is also known for being the Test Driver for Amazon’s hit TV Show ‘The Grand Tour’, working alongside Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond setting lap times on the Eboladrome and joining them on their exotic challenges.
