“Females nowadays have to see it to believe it, and I never really had that. There wasn’t much female representation and now that’s improving - it’s such a positive time to be in motorsport.”

You may not see women on the track racing in Formula 1 right now, but that’s all set to change. F1 Academy is a brand new all-female series which is helping women progress to new levels of competition. And in this episode we meet one of the women likely to make history.

Abbi Pulling is racing in the F1 Academy for Rodin Carlin, and Paul Haimes - not one to miss an opportunity to visit ‘The Home of British Motor Racing’ - meets her on test day in the heritage pitlane at Silverstone. We also meet Rodin Carlin’s F1 academy team manager Kenny Kirwan, who tells us more about the new Series and how it’ll work. He even takes us for a tour around the garage where we fire up the car the women will be racing in the Series, and find out just how powerful it is.

Rodin Carlin is a long-time customer of PTC’s computer-aided design software CREO. Find out more about CREO here.
