The Professional
Abbie Eaton is one of the UK's most recognisable racing drivers. Two-time British champion, lead test driver for The Grand Tour and Top Gear, and a race winner in Porsche Carrera Cup GB, she brings factory-level precision and a global TV profile to Car 146.
In 2026 she has led into the first corner at Oulton Park and Snetterton, climbed from 24th to 4th at Anglesey and gone from 10th to the lead in two laps at Donington Park. Give her clean air and a set of tyres and the lap time arrives.

Co-driver & team principal
The Principal
Founder of Clapham North Race Team and a serial builder of businesses. George grew Housing Technology into the UK's leading social housing platform, runs Clapham North MOT, and backs Downforce, bringing a commercial operator's discipline to Car 146.
Racing is also his fundraising platform: every round raises money and awareness for charity, with a particular focus on homelessness and housing insecurity. An award-winning driver, recognised by the BRSCC for services to motorsport, George is a major sponsor of the British Motorsport Marshals Club (BMMC) and a proud club ambassador.
His racing background comes from his father Ronnie Grant, who competed in open-wheel formulae from the 1970s to the 90s. In September 2026 George added a second programme, racing a Mazda MX-5 in the SuperCup and making his Classic Mini debut in the same Anglesey weekend.
