Nissan Formula E Team will continue with Abbi Pulling as its rookie and simulator driver for the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The British female racer will join Oliver Rowland, Zane Maloney and Sam Bird to complete Nissan Formula E Team's driver roster.

Pulling began her rookie and simulator driver role in June 2025. The knowledge of the Nissan Formula E powertrain that she has developed throughout her time with the team will be a valuable asset heading into the new GEN4 era, as she works with Rowland and Maloney to ensure the squad starts Season 13 in the strongest possible position.

Pulling gained further Formula E experience during the 2025/26 campaign, participating in the all-women's test, Miami Rookie Free Practice and the Madrid Rookie Test.
The 2024 F1 Academy champion is also competing in the 2026 GB3 Championship, taking her first victory at Spa and adding two podium finishes at Donington Park.

Pulling will work alongside reserve driver Sam Bird, as well as working alongside Rowland and Maloney ahead of Pre-Season Testing at Circuito del Jarama, Spain on 16-20 November.

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

‍"We're very happy to continue working with Sam and Abbi for Season 13. As we enter the GEN4 era, having drivers who know our simulator, our powertrain and the way we work will be important in helping us prepare effectively for this new generation.
Abbi has become increasingly comfortable in the Formula E environment and is already adding real value. She'll have the opportunity to take part in test days and continue supporting us both before and during race weekends.
Together with Oliver and Zane, we believe we have a strong driver roster to help us make a positive start to the GEN4 era."

Abbi Pulling, rookie and simulator driver, Nissan Formula E Team:

‍"I've really enjoyed being with Nissan Formula E Team and I'm delighted to continue in my role as we move into the GEN4 era. I've loved my work in the simulator and of course the sessions out on track, which have been the highlight of my time with the team.
I'm looking forward to exploring what the GEN4 car has to offer, starting in the simulator and then hopefully on race weekends. The new car will be a challenge for everyone, but it looks very exciting and appealing to drivers.
A big thank you to the team for the support they've given me so far, and I can't wait to continue into Season 13!"
