Abbie Eaton:
If you're a car fan and you hadn’t heard of British racing driver Abbie Eaton before last year, you’ve probably heard of her now. In 2017, the GT racer got the call up of a lifetime to become TV show The Grand Tour’s test driver, seeing off a host of rivals for the role - including ex-F1 racer Mark Webber.
Since Abbie’s father Paul , who used to race himself, brought her to the race track aged just 2 months old Motorsport is truly in Abbie’s blood. At just 10 years old Abbie started Karting & competed for 4 years in the various karting echelons gaining many wins and podiums. Abbie moved onto cars aged just 15 & has since raced in the SAXMAX Championship and the Production Touring Car Championship, where she was the Class B champion. She’s also driven in the Mazda MX-5 SuperCup and was crowned the champion there as well.
After that, she drove in the GT Cup, the British GT Championship and with the Blancpain Endurance Series, where she was the first woman to finish first in her class. And when she’s not doing all of that, she also works as a driving coach at Silverstone.

Abbie puttin the kibosh on that sexism shit. "I want to race the best, and the best are men right now. So I'm going to race them." If girls wanna race, go for it. You might not have other many girls as role models in the sport, but you can still look up to the champions, men and women.
So sad that the GT as we know it is gone. I think they were just finding their pace. I hope that they keep Abbie in the show when they travel.
I wish that too. Although we know they won't.
@@aejae15030 they did Tho didn't they? ;)
I love Abbie . She’s amazing and doing great in the show.
I cringed at the fact she called Abbie 'The Stig', she CLEARLY didn't do her research on a simple fact. She is The Grand Tour 'Driver', not BBC's Top Gear 'The Stig'.
True, but, we all know the thing working with Clarkson, Hammond and May is the real Stig.
Top Gear is still getting enough viewership, and i like LeBlanc, but, it's not the same thing.
Also, she called it 'the Stig role', which you could say is just now just about the technical term for the main tester or lap time driver for the cars.
If another show, let's call it 'Car Lover's Digest', does the same type of thing, and you call that person the 'Car Lover's Digest Stig', anyone slightly into cars knows exactly what you mean.
I re watched it 3 times because I thought I miss heard her not much of her hero doesn't even know what show she's on
S F yeah, duh, everybody here knew that and understood that, but I just explained the most likely reason this happened...
Let's be honest here, TGT is the real Top Gear now, which would make her the current Stig.
DPodDolphin Productions I cringed so hard when she said that tbh
She is a welcome addition to the show though, I think almost everyone disliked the american, the gimmick was OK for 1-2 episodes but old really goddamn fast.
Yes it got old fast, like the stupid names they have for the corners now... or when they fake hating each other so much... A lot of the show is now jokes that fall flat. They seem to force themselves too much. In the old Top Gear, at least until around season 17 they were fine saying they were mates and enjoyed each other's company. Now it feels like, for show, they have to hate each other, it's ridiculous. There are a few moments that I like, that stuff in China last week was ok, but the special in Colombia was awful. I know everything is scripted, but it didn't show during the best seasons of Top Gear. Now you really FEEL like they do stuff that doesn't make sense. A wildlife photography tour ? Huh ?
Hes mike skinner though. Im sure he was thrilled to be on The show and hes a a decent driver from what i have seen in his World Camping Truck series but he wasnt that bad.
If anything the "does that mean hes not coming on then" was way more bothersome than a stereotype American driver
It's a shame she doesn't get to talk in the Grand Tour, tough. I think she definitelly needs more air time on the show.
Yeah, they're still diling in gimics that didn't work, and a "Commie hating" NASCAR driver went the way of killing off celebrities every episode. Still very much a work in progress.
I'm an American who seen every single top gear watcher with Jeremy in it I actually got Amazon Prime only for Grand Tour and I absolutely hated the the American and I'm so glad with Abby I think shes a perfect choice for the show.
Now that was some good chat on conversation street.
FoSTdriver 😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Abbie's a beast of a driver. I think she is a perfect fit to Grand Tour. Well done, excellent example for my daughter who i want to get into motor sports!
Oh yes Abbie is a real task master. It's a shame top motor sports don't think so.
@@philt5782 I wouldnt mind seeing an all womans LeMans team..
The Grand Tour team hit the nail on the head in a recent episode, too many parents think little girls should ride ponies and cars are for boys. Obviously fitness and physical strength play a part over a race but motorsport is really the only type of sport where (IMO) men and women could compete on an even keel. I work in a cycle shop and the amount of times parents try to turn their girls away from a badass MTB and towards some pink, floral granny bike because its cute and 'girly' is shocking. Obviously I do all I can to help, look how well the mountain bike fits her, look how happy she is on it, that sort of thing. Sometimes it even works.
I bought my daughter a red and black Diamondback when she was able to ride on two wheels, it was a solid, quality bike, rugged and fun for her to ride. She got to choose her own bike with no influence from me or her mother. I never did see the value of pushing girls towards the pink bike with the white tyres, shopping basket and bell when clearly the fun bike with the trick nuts was obviously what she was wanting. When she outgrew it, I got her a mountain bike and she passed the Diamondback to her young cousin, he was very happy with it. Not sure any of the pink 'girls' bikes would have survived to be passed on.
As Abby said, I'm tired of this conversation always being about gender, the media is making the big deal about it, the more you highlight it the more the wedge goes in between.
How about Abbys racing history, or favorite car or litterly *anything* else about her, *other* than her gender, very annoying reporting, we know shes a woman already, we want to know *about* her.
Edit, 90% of this interview is gender this and that, only the audiance seemed like it had *real* questions not directed this way, annoying.
The real problem is the words 'Gender' and 'Sex' are being used interchangeably. One does not equal the other.
ian totally agree. That silly wee girl doing host couldn’t even get the facts right about Abbie. That’s blatant disrespect. And these asshole feminists don’t even realise they do more harm. Once you make their achievements about being a woman you devalue them immediately. Abbie is a top driver, period. She’s a class addition to the show because she is right for it as a fantastic driver and not a political exercise in “ box ticking”
@@ULSTERISBRITISH It's not about making their achievements about being a woman. You misunderstand the association being made here: it's about celebrating their achievements for the bulk of the discussion, and then also illustrating that women can do these things brilliantly on individual talent as many men look down on women drivers. It oversimplifies the problem to say the feminists make this situation worse or drive wedges simply by wanting to highlight women talent. If anything, feminism wants a society where women are treated as equals and celebrated as equals. The interviewer actually says the aim is to have everyone working together. If you are tired of seeing people celebrating women achievements, a) get a grip and b) instead blame both the men and women shitting on women. It's interesting that issues around class has been raised in this interview but you haven't mentioned this.
Queen B doesn't belong in the same company as the other two, they are on a complete different world and level to her.
I would liked to have watched this, but the terrible audio pops were unbearable :(
What impressive young women! So refreshing to hear from them. It might just be me, but in the States it seems like the younger generations are either into computers or "ball" sports. Thank you to the parents for supporting their girls into motorsports. They must be very proud. Thanks to these girls, hopefully their situation will become more common.
Here in europe belgium also
Whe are a football country
And a lot off girls are
" interested " in football
They have no idee what is going on they just yell and drink beer
Abbie should just be made a part of the studio segments of the Grand Tour.
It would be a weird and fun dynamic seeing the difference in perspective between a bunch of old incompetent guys and a young racing driver.
I loved that she was in the Urus Review in Season 3.
clerkson is a pretty good driver
The Stig is a Top Gear property, not associated with The Grand Tour.
Only on paper
@@dino130395 the whole point of the Stig is he's an unknown driver. So yes the Top Gear owns the Stig name and the character traits. Atttributing to Grand Tour is a massive legal no no
The grand tour is top gear not that shite on the bbc lol
The BBC doesnt allow them to call their news section 'News' due to copyright. So thats why we have 'Conversation street'.
@@dice1902 I'm not sure anymore. The Grand Tour isn't very good right now, while Top Gear has gotten a lot better recently.
Get the other 2 on a the Grand Tour as well for a special segment on women in Motorsport 👍 would be a great watch and raise awareness
Quite like the idea of GT becoming big trips and essentially specials only, they were always the best episodes, integrate the road testing of the game-changing new vehicles and their personal faves. Abbie clearly could have a role within that, the stig used to have a role in old top gear specials. It's a shame Matt never did a special as part of being on the UK Top Gear.
They're all 10's but when they cut to Abbie rippin the Eboladrone on GT in her full face helmet she's off the charts.
The middle one is clearly on a whole different league, followed by the other girl and Abbie is last. Where did you see the "all 10s stuff"..
You must have low testosterone m8
Man, watching this from over the pond and i find actually so crazy how lucky people from europe and north america are... motorsport is a dream for me from when i was born, i think about it everyday, i dream and breathe everything with a motor almost and only the elite gets to experience anything near that over here... the things ive done with my diesel peugeot 306 lol! In stock form and drive it like im ken block or something haha! Cheers to these girls pushing their way around and i wish at some point before i die i get to experience what they are talking about! Respect!
Abbies driving on Grand Tour wows me, haven’t got to see either of the other two on telly. My favourite part of Abbie is the faster she goes the wider and angrier her eyes, it’s fun trying to guess the lap time from that 😂
Abbie rocks, love her!
She's not The Stig. You clearly don't research your heroes...
Oh, shuuut the fuuck uuuuup, you pedantic twaddlle-puddle of a human being 🙄. You (and everyone that liked your comment) know damn well what she meant when she said that. She was just saying that Abbie took on the some role as the Stig did during TG, no need to write such a resentful comment over it.
she is not the Stig..Stig is different character..but she is awesome :)
Looks like a good Top Gear (Or spinoff) lineup right there. They have good chemistry together, and that's honestly a big part of the formula.
This is a great video, these girls seem to be down to earth. A cars is a car, it doesn't care/know who driving it, if your good enough your good enough.
I think somehow, this trio of women would make a great group of presenters for an all female spin off from Top Gear
fuck that not with every terrible women spin off they have already made.
she is such a breath of fresh air
very enlightening
Stig who? That quiet guy in Abbie's rear-view mirror? (And Jezza's, Crashie-Hammond's, and Continuity-May's)
Katies amazing machines!
Abbie shes the best
I love Abbie!!!!!
I'd be worried if a W series was started. I'd be afraid it would just turn into WNBA or Softball, where it's very niche and not nearly as competitive or popular as the more competitive and more established male counterpart leagues. Just let them compete with guys and see who's the best.
Thing is, with athletic sports the female and male body are very different. There's an inherent physical advantage to the male's build, which would render mixed sports rather unfair.
With motorsports... well, it's in the name, isn't it? The battle lies greatly within the equipment. The physical disadvantage is not as pronounced because the performance is mainly demanded from the vehicle. Might even become an advantage to women as they're generally shorter and lighter.
I didn't think the W series was a good idea either. But now that I think about it, It could be a way to help these women advance in their racing careers so it would be beneficial. I think racing teams want women on their teams because they are marketable. Danica Patrick was highly marketable and just an average driver in Indycar. I hope this W series puts emphasis on developing the drivers for top tier racing leagues.
go abby go!
Abbie is a great addition to GT. Really happy that she took over those reigns.
when they were looking for a replacement for the American, I thought 2 minutes about it. Then I said, they will get a woman, of course, she will be a feminist, and she will be gay, BINGO.
Abbie is one of the main reasons I now love the grand tour, she is a seriously fast driver, unlike "the american" she isn't annoying and she's better than the stig simply because she is allowed to have a personality.
its to bad abbie will more then likly be out of a job due to the change in format for series 4 ownards of the grand tour, she is a pretty good driver
Respect à vous je vous ai regardé avec la testa rossa et la countach du grand art,j’avais jamais vu un essayeur auto torché ces deux voitures mythique,c’était génial bravo
Love watching the ladies drive! They kick major arse! I would love to see more ladies driving fast!
unless they are asians :(
Audio glitch % 1080p that looked more like 360p
I wouldn't mind watching a show with these three, they seem fun !
They just got to talk about cars and not just female problems which sadly most reality tv shows when there is a only female it tends to happen and thus the views goes down.
Fyi, the only driver that was dominating the defunct Group B division was a French woman! She should be nominated as a pioneer and a leader!
Michele Mouton, Abbie Eaton: Role Models
Danica Patrick: Crash Dummy.
Edit - I will say, I've heard Patrick's Indycar career has been much more successful than her NASCAR career. Makes me think she probably is just better suited for staying in open wheel racing.
Danica's Indycar career stat was good just because it was during the CART/IRL split and pretty much all the fast driver was at the other series when she got her only win
The fastest female of all time was Eliska Junkova, closely followed by Michele Mouton. After comes big gap and then I can't think of anyone better than Danica. But seriously, who tf is Abbie Eaton, you would never ever heard of her had she not been in GT. Sabine Schmitz is someone worth mentioning.
WTG All of you!!!
Is that only me think Abbie kind looks like Kimi 😂
You wanna be in F1? F1F1F1F1? Exposure, beat the men, F1F1.
Auz super v8s, WRC, Tractors. Fuckin lol. I love these ladies, they know where the coolest racing is. Especially rallying.
I personally think Motorsport is one of the unfortunately rare areas that people dont look a gender. Its all about your attitude and skill. Hopefully that same perspective will be emulated in all areas. Well done ladies, well done guys, well done Motorsport!
You're kidding me right? Motorsport is so sexist it's not even funny in the 21st century. Abbie Eaton would walk circles around some of the formula 1 drivers of 2019
@@philt5782 you're funny.
None of these women needed feminism to get into the male dominated sports.
Yeah, that's just the thing right. 'feminism', 'equal this and that', 'discrimination', 'we need a 50/50 quote'.
I agree... equal oppertunities all the way and if you're being mistreated based on gender, then that is appalling.
But mostly they're not asking for equal oppertunities, they demand preferential treatment based on gender, rather than on skills or qualifications.
And that to me is just a bunch of bollocks. Indeed, women should have the right and oppertunity to do stuff... but based on the sole fact that they're better suited than someone else. And that's just hardly the case in a world of say motorsports, tech, finance and what not, when women in general just have different interests and pursuits, so you're more likely to find the best already elsewhere in other fields of work.
I applaud the likes of Abbie Eaton, Catie Munnings, Danica Patrick (IndyCar), Ana Carrasco (Supersport champ) and Maria Herrera (MotoGP) for getting where they are today because of their talent and success. But we can't just put a 50:50 quote on the field line-up, because women feel left out otherwise. Earn your spot the right way, everything else is just excuses and whining.
AMEN!
It probably helped though. Who knows what the UK would be like if women still couldn't vote
I couldn't agree more, and as I understand their fathers actually played a large part in their life.
Actually if weren't for the feminism these girls would still be treated as incubators, and they wouldn't even get near a car if unless they were filthy rich. Learn your history people! Compare "women" rights now to 50 years, 100 years in the past, a lot has changed, maybe today feminism didn't make any difference, but the first, second, and third wave clearly help these women get where they are. So yes, they needed feminism to get into "male dominated sports".
I watched it and they're not my heroes, they haven't had it anywhere near as tough as Lewis Hamilton. Lewis is the real inspiration and hero
I'd love to see someone tell John Force's daughters that there needs to be a "W" series in NHRA so that they could be competitive. Whoever said that would be on their ass faster than they could blink, or faster than Brittany Force's reaction time!
bad audio
How about you get the clicks out of the audio before you upload it.
Some say she is the stig’s sister.......any way she’s fast!!!
This puts a very good spin on The Grand Tour as a show. You think it’s a big ol sausage fest and obviously The Stig is a man. Or at least that’s what “some say...” Top Gear ⚙️ is a slightly different beast hence why the driver is called The American 🇺🇸 in the early seasons. I have to confess to not having seen all episodes of the show up to now.
I don’t hear much mention of The Queen of The Nurburgring Ring herself. Whispers “Sabine Schmidt.....”
cute, can drive, and has an accent im sold where do I find her that's a unicorn
Formula One teams spend millions of dollars every year to shave every milligram of weight they possibly can off their cars. All other things being equal, it's more advantageous for racing teams to have women drivers because your average female weighs a lot less than your average male.
From 2019 a ballast is added if you weigh less than 80kg. So that smaller and lighter drivers don't get an unfair advantage
All are gorgeous girls.
The minute the interviewer fucked up on Abbie I thought I can't watch this. reading the comments looks like I did the right thing.
Infamous Stig? Why?
AFK because some say he knows two facts about ducks, and they both wrong
And that he believes Cars 2 was a documentary
Do you know the Stig was created by Clarkson and Wilman so therefore they actually own the rights.
Its good having rich parents that can take you driving when you are young my parent couldn’t even afford a push bike
You don't need money to get into motorsport.
@@ryanwhite9103 most racing driver are rich.so yes most sports is pretty expensive and plus more expensive for people who don't make it to top 3 .
Gender issues are irrelevant here. This person is seriously talented.
Monster Jam anyone? Isnt that a motorsport with more than a handfull of woman drivers?
Abbie is a fucking goddess
Do you need to be hot to be a good female race car driver? Because these 3 are gorgeous
Stig is a gone character Abbie, you are not the Stig. You are the new generation that replaced the Stig.
Abbie didnt replace the stig, thats a different show. She replaced the American
The American replaced the Stig. Abbie replaced the American. A different show yes, but that was GT guys' show. They created both characters.
@Yo Ming That's the best he can do. I reported. Let's forget it mate.
To be fair, Abbie never said that she was the Stig. It was the irritating host that kept referring to her as the Stig.
" Some say he is not the Stig... but all we know its they call her 'The Abbie'! "
I think they should use Abbie as fourth person or the apprentice of the show. I mean i adore the golden trio of Top Gear/TGT but like James May said that Jeremy Clarkson and James May are old but Richard Hammond isn't. Maybe Hammond and Eaton can keep the show running for a decade.
Hammond will be 50 this year
@@ayushtripathi9463 exactly
I like they say women/girls need female role models to go into motorsport but all of them had male role models
I never know That Abbie has a arm tattoo
Abbie is great.
Her economic theories are not
The think stuff like this where females tends to say i made it all the way her by my self is really hard to say specially since all the material things we have now was created by man. Like no matter how much they achieve it will still stay in that stigma that they can't really be winners in any sport because man created it. That's why i think females specially young ones should start creating their own things for people to nob on for life goals instead of just following what man has been doing for years.
But all i am saying is if you want support stop attacking man and actually work together cause no one will want to watch a all female show because it will just be all the same. Like we need a new strategy and that is having both man and women walk together in front and showcasing what both genders can do when they are put in a same scenario. Like heck if one of the 3 guys leaves the show of Grand Tour i don't mind having 1 female on it because at least it will not cause has much problems if it was all man together.
All strong, talented women. And all smoking hot
She didn't replace the Stig, and she didn't beat Mark Webber. Webber was never actually trying out to be the new driver. Does this person know anything other than she's a feminist?
So we have 2 racing drivers( abbie is not the stig, the stig is property of the BBC) Aaaaand, a spoiled rich broad with "street knowledge".
Why the brutal inconsistency in values?
Why are they beautifull and talented and still so normal
I want a date with them :)
And some fun on the track
Not together they would eat my alive 😁
Abbie is a lesbian, s you have no chance with her lol. The others maybe give you a shot
@@JoeJacksonGT3
a lesbian I knew it :D
that makes it even hotter :p
i want here even more now :)
thanks for the hope but i dont have a shot :(
lifelong virgin spotted
14:00 ummm .... so if it's all about everybody helping everybody ... why is this a gender segregated event?
except abbie other two look like divas (3:13)
As much as they are all good they aren't as good michele mouton she can rip them with an og Quattro
She’s only in it so GT can seem equal.
TGK300 Xx Bullshit dude were you even listening, I have a feeling you are one of that 10%
As the stig?? And that wasn’t the only wrong you said. At least have the decency to do your research on people you claim to be your hero. Very disrespectful towards her. She’s is a phenomenal driver and deserves to be more than a feminist tool which your clearly using her and the others for. I couldn’t give a shit that they’re ladies. I respect them because they’re from working class backgrounds like me. All 3 of these ladies see themselves as pro drivers not lady pro drivers. That’s why they get the support and respect. They care about their sport, not being feminist tools. I’m from a matriarchal family. Would die for my mum, sis and niece. My niece, from a working class background is going on to do medicine. I’m her biggest fan. I’m not a sexist. I believe if your good enough that’s all that matters.
But it’s ok to be a man too.
Equality can’t be achieved through discriminatory measures ie woman only things, getting positions just for being a woman, or different race etc.
And that’s balls about sponsors. If I’d a company of course you’d want ladies like this as a sponsor representative. I’ve complete respect and admiration for these drivers.
Am I the only one found it ironic the host saying people need to just listen and learn more paha maybe then she’d know the biggest barrier and opportunistic tool in motorsport is money!! Also she’d maybe realise not one of those ladies have any interest in being used as feminist propaganda yet she insists in steering the talk that way.
That’s why young girls will look to these drivers as role models and inspiration rather than people like the host.
The stig is a bbc character from a completely different show!
As for a women’s only series. I’m against it! Motorsport is one of the places where the field is level so it’s discrimination against the ladies to segregate them. Say football or rugby etc? Of course you have to have separate leagues. It’s not sexist it’s just fact most men will be naturally bigger and stronger. It’s not sexism it’s genetics and cross over in areas with immense physical contact would put ladies in harms way.
But motorsport, the car takes care of the physicality and it’s down then to skill so women and men , should absolutely compete against each other. If your good enough , you compete. It’s that simple
women can drive too,well some of `em
men can drive too,well some of `em
Abbie and Catie are hella cool. Becky....not so much.
I tried. I just couldn't do it. A hen fest is still a hen fest. My American government lied to me. Boys and girls are different. I hope that the Gestapo doesn't come for me now that I've put it out there.
Watch out girls, they don't call her Eat'n for nothing...
ic wot u did m8.
Oof m8
Abbies a grate driver but will never be a stig. and did she say becoming the first woman to be the stig
jake stig is just a man with a stig helmet.. everyone can be the stig.
@@muhammadrayhanzachary7974 no the stig is on top gear she's on the grand tour different shows
state of those tattoos
Awful aren't they.
Impressive enough, but how good are thier sandwiches??
Really shit.
What am i supposed to listen, a woman speaking or crappy music? stopped watching after 30 sec and dislike
Like riding there own motorcycles women driving race cars are hotter it's like getting plastic surgery to make them look better minis all the scares and fakeness that come with it.
But if you stop thinking about having sex with them do you still like women who drives. I mean its sad till this day they can't really achieve anything and if they do its only because they are hot and people want to bang them. That's why i can understand why its harder for females to be in the front lines without being look as sexual content.
@@tylink9966 I think you misunderstood what I was saying basically theres so many women out there who are willing to go through plastic surgery to make themselves more attractive to the opposite sex weather for there physical size or appearance according to society rules and too those I usually say instead learn to ride a bike, drive a fast, run a multi million dollar company, be a comedian. Basically a woman looks more attractive when they dominate what's normally dominated by men. And I say that for 2 reason one I hate that so many woman still feel they have to have surgery to feel attractive ( for none medical or accidental reasons) and I believe in equal opportunity in everything and women shouldn't feel like cant join this particular thing because it's a mans world and only unattractive women do that and so they don't.
As long as women do not push men out of Racing I'm OK with it
I don't think that is actually likely, it is extraordinarily male dominated. But yes, as Ms. Eaton says, no handouts. Race the best, beat the best and become the best. Regardless of gender.
That is a really strange comment, I want the best to win, no matter the gender. I don't think we need protectionism for men, nor should we have it. Just give everyone an equal chance.
What a waste of good fresh air.
So Katie was choosen for Grand Tour because she is a woman and not for her skill ? I dont like it and she shouldnt like it too. Dont get me wrong, but feminism is destroying those strong women, who i like a lot. Especially when they are into motorsports.
What?
Abbie is the Grand Tour driver, not Catie. When Clarkson introduced her he said: "we chose the fastest driver... here she is"
