Abbi Pulling will be back in action for the Nissan Formula E Team in the upcoming FIA Formula E Rookie Test. Returning to the wheel of the Nissan e-4ORCE 05 on Monday 14 July at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.

Reigning F1 Academy champion Pulling impressed by finishing top of the timesheets at the all-women’s session in Jarama last November. This will be her first on-track appearance with the Japanese outfit in her new role as Nissan Formula E Team’s rookie and simulator driver.

Abbi will be testing alongside Gabriele Mini and both will take on two sessions at the 2.343-kilometre circuit, which features 15 corners and runs anti-clockwise. Drivers’ tire management will be tested by the famously abrasive surface, which will add another level of difficulty for the rookies.

On-track action begins at 09:00 local time (UTC+2) before the checkered flag at 12:00. Testing resumes with the second three-hour session at 13:00, running until 16:00.

Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team:

"We’re very happy to have Abbi and Gabriele with us for the Berlin rookie test this year. It will be Abbi’s first on-track action since joining us as our rookie and simulator driver, and we’re happy to welcome Gabriele again thanks to our close collaboration with Alpine Racing."
"We’ve worked with them separately in the past with a lot of success, so it will be great to see them teaming up for this test. They’re both very talented drivers and for us it is great to have continuity with our rookies, so they can keep developing at the same time as doing a better job for the team every time.”

“I’m really excited to get out on track and to work with the team again. I’ve driven street circuits before but never in such a high-powered car, so it will be an amazing opportunity. Berlin looks like a fun track - Gabriele has been there with the team before, so it will be interesting to work with him and get up to speed from his previous experience."
"I’ll be there for the race weekend prior to the test as well, so my goal is mainly to pick up as much information as possible, improve my understanding of the car, and make the most of the experience for both the team and myself.”
