BRSCC Mazda Mx5 Supercup Final Round Donington Park Onboard Abbie Eaton

The championship went down to the last race of the season. Abbie had to finish 6th or better, or within 4 places of Tom Roche (orange car) to win the championship. Starting P22 from a DNF the previous race due to an engine failure, a new engine put in over night never tested before, it was always going to be tough. Abbie drove the race of her life and made it up to 6th place just behind Tom but then got taken out by Clint Bardwell. From that point on Abbie thought it was all over, the car was too damaged to continue so she pulled into the pits feeling a little down to say the least. However, Tom finished 2nd and didn't secure the win or fastest lap he needed to overtake Abbie in the points and Abbie won the championship by 1 point! What an emotional rollercoaster!!!

    Dont usually comment on videos but this one is def worth a comment. First I want to say how brave you must be not cut that last bit out of the video. You drove a champions drive. You put your head down and marched the field like a women possessed. Even after the spin you didn't give up. I don't know you but I am proud of you. And congrats on the grand tour gig.

    Everytime I watch this last bit, were I'm trying to comfort Abbie by stroking her on her helmet, which quite obviously she won't feel, gets me quite emotional. We all went through the wringer that weekend.

    I was also racing at Donington that day and saw you in Parc Ferme looking a bit distraught. Didn't think it was the right time to come and say hi! All the 924 Porsche racers were rooting for you and were delighted to learn later that you'd won the championship. Congratulations and please keep uploading the vids. Shows the passion that you have for the sport.

    This video was suggested to me today. I did not read anything about it before hand but only knew about miss Eaton having to start 22nd and had to get to the front to win the championship. I was settling in to watch a good overtaking race and so it was. I never expected the shunt from behind and felt really bad about what happened for she was driving brilliantly. Just glad it ended well. Good onboard footage. Nice one!

Not only does she look hot in that racing suit but damn those gear shifts and late braking, those overtakes oh man I love her. I was actually taking notes to improve my driving.

    In races, sometimes in final laps, mediocre and tired drivers make a bend in apex with soft hands and too late braking. I have experienced similar situations while driving karting. Sometimes it made sense to go after the race to go say an idiot to the driver a couple of selected words. You have Abbie a great touch of the car and the track. The driving style is beautiful to look at.

    Do not worry, you still won, you are the best. The twists are your element. Much later you slow down and choose the right trajectory. Car lead to the limit. If The Grand Tour changes the format of the program, it is a pity that we will not see you on the track Ebola Drom
