Abbi Pulling will return to the track for the Nissan Formula E Team next week in the upcoming Rookie Free Practice session, as Formula E heads to the Miami International Autodrome.

With two cars allowed to run in FP0 for the first time, Nissan Formula E Team has decided to take advantage of the extra running time to better prepare for the first-ever Formula E race weekend at the venue. This opportunity also allows the team to continue building its relationship with Abbi giving her more valuable experience at the wheel of the Nissan e-4ORCE 05.

As the Japanese squad’s rookie and simulator driver, Abbi is not a stranger to GEN3 Evo machinery -after competing in both all-women’s test sessions, finishing first and second respectively across the tests. She also completed the Berlin Rookie Test last year for Nissan, managing 98 laps over the course of two three-hour long sessions around the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.

Abbi's role has seen her attend multiple race weekends with the team, alongside her extensive work supporting the Japanese outfit in the simulator -which has contributed to the team’s success and further development.
Abbi also has experience of Miami International Autodrome, clinching two victories there on her way to the F1 Academy title in 2024.

Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team:

“We’re pleased to continue working with Abbi and Gabriele at the upcoming Rookie Free Practice session in Miami. It’s the first time Formula E has allowed teams to have two cars in FP0, so we wanted to maximize that opportunity. It’s a brand-new track, which means having as much data as possible will be massively helpful as we prepare for FP1 with Oli and Norman. Both Abbi and Gabriele know the car and are familiar with the team, so this continuity will be important for them to settle quickly and complete their programs, giving full benefit to the team and adding to their experience.”

“It’s a pleasure to be back on-track with Nissan Formula E Team and I feel very fortunate to be working with such a great outfit. I’m delighted to be trusted with this Rookie Free Practice session as it’ll be the first official running at a brand-new circuit for Formula E so data collection will be crucial. This is now my fourth outing in the Nissan e-4ORCE 05 and, alongside my work in the simulator, I feel like I’ve now got a good understanding of the car.
I’ve raced at Miami International Autodrome before in F1 Academy and, even though the track layout will be different, it will be a great spectacle across the weekend. My goal for the session is to fulfil my run plan to put the squad in a strong starting position to kick on for the rest of the event.”
