Motorsport star heralds Netflix's new racing series following DtS success

Abbi Pulling won the inaugural F1 Academy Championship in 2023

By Kevin McKenna.

There is a great deal of excitement surrounding the news that Netflix is set to release another mini-series offering a behind-the-scenes look at motorsport.

Following the success of Drive to Survive in attracting a new generation of fans to Formula 1, the streaming giant hopes its upcoming documentary on the all-female category of the sport will have a similar impact.

F1 Academy held their inaugural campaign in 2023, replacing the W series, in a bid to encourage female inclusivity in motorsport, with British driver Abbi Pulling impressing as she finished fifth in the drivers' standings.

"It's not just getting in and out of the car - there's so much more that goes on, arguably 10 times more off track work than it is on track.

“So it's great that it's bringing a light to it, and yeah, just women's sport in general, not just female as a motorsport, women's sport as a whole. And it's a great time to be a woman in motorsport, I think."

She added: "It's very intense, to say the least. You get out the car, and straight away, there's a boom - you're hitting your head on a boom."
