Alpine drivers Abbi Pulling and Josh Idowu talk careers in motorsport with Grace Webb.

MOTORS is the headline sponsor of The British Motor Show. We'll be at the show in Farnborough from 15-18th August 2024 where we'll be hosting the MOTORS Family Zone and Kids Stage.

Grace Webb will be at the show hosting her new show, Grace's Green Gadgets, and a panel where she'll be speaking to kids involved in motorsport. To prep for the show we sent Grace Webb down to the BWT Alpine F1 Factory in Enstone to meet two young people who are very much involved in the world of motorsport, Alpine Academy driver Abbi Pulling and Alpine Sim Racing driver Josh Idowu.

Abbi Pulling discussed how she prepares for a race and told Grace about some of the departments and roles within the Alpine F1 team - she also spoke about Alpine's Race(H)er program which is designed reinforce meritocracy across genders across all areas of the company. Josh Idowu spoke about how he got into esports racing and also gave Grace a bit of coaching on how to set a hot lap around Silverstone in one of the Alpine Sim Racing Team's rigs.

Grace headed down to the factory in the Alpine A110 GT - a 2-seater sports coupe with a 1.8-litre turbo-charged engine pushing out 300hp in a package that weighs just over 1,100kg!

Alpine Sim Racing will be at The British Motor Show with some of their simulators for visitors to experience. So why not pop down to see MOTORS in the Family Zone - you can meet Grace, watch her Green Gadgets show and listen in as she hosts a panel with young drivers in motorsport - then head on over to Alpine to see if you can beat her lap time!
