No evoidence of notability. Prpoded in 2016 but prod removed by Cirt stating "easily able to find lots of secondary sources" but none were added. Searches yield all the standard social media stuff and a staff profile from Silverstone but nothing independent or reliable. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 10:08, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. She's about to become much much better known now she's the new equivalent of The Stig on the second series of The Grand Tour. If this gets deleted now it'll only get recreated again in a few weeks. Ged  UK  12:09, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think that being the test driver for The Grand Tour is notable enough. Plus, she's a female racing driver (notable in itself, considering how few women are racers) who has won quite a lot of competitions and championships already. It's only the first 24 hours since she first appeared on the show; give a few weeks and there's bound to be more information about her. We might not want to rush things too much, too soon. Besides, as Ged_UK mentioned, the article will probably just get created again anyway. Weslam123  (talk &bull; contrib) 15:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Having a TV debut on The Grand Tour IMO is notable enough. Night  fury  23:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment would the 2016 British GT Championship count as meeting WP:NMOTORSPORT #1? She finished fourth overall in that series. She also raced in the 2017 Blancpain GT Series. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 01:02, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet our inclusive and clear notability guidelines for racing drivers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Arguably, Abbie Eaton does make the guidelines for WP:NMOTORSPORT, since both British GT Championship and Blancpain GT Series can both be considered as meeting #1 and #3. Weslam123  (talk &bull; contrib) 10:13, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I just didn't see anything prior to 2016 that was a notable racing circuit with its own article, unless someone can find the appropriate link for "Mazda MX-5 Supercup" AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:15, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter really whether she meets the NMotorsport criteria, she seems to meet the GNG now anyway. Ged  UK  11:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Her role as not!Stig aside, she passes WP:NMOTORSPORT #1 and #3 with the last two years of competition. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:39, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep fair deal of coverage, although more independent coverage would be welcome. Seems to pass WP:GNG and WP:NMOTORSPORT. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 18:51, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Articles from Digital Spy, Metro UK, International Business Times have come out. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:04, 17 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment: Pageviews for The Grand Tour vs. Michael Schumacher vs. Abbie Eaton. 10k+/day.  More daily pageviews than Michael Schumacher.  More pageviews on Friday than the main The Grand Tour had for the first episode on Friday a week earlier.  Earliest cite is a two page newspaper article from 2008. , are your concerns addressed with the current Special:PermanentLink/816024582 revision of the article?  If it wasn't for this, would probably be headed for a WP:SNOW keep. —Sladen (talk) 00:17, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looking for this article is the first idea which comes to your mind after watching The Grand Tour. Hektor (talk) 13:14, 20 December 2017 (UTC).
 * Indeed, that was what I did after watching the last episode lol! Night  fury  13:57, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Does she have a recurring role, or is that just a one-off guest role? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:04, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure she'll have a recurring role, it doesn't seem to make much sense to hire her as the test driver for just a single episode and then scrap her right afterwards. But at this point, we can only specluate about her role (if she's just gonna be confined to the track and having a non-speaking role with none of the presenters really directly referring to her, or if she'll have a character developed and maybe participate in some challenges/races, or maybe something else); it might be better for us to wait a few weeks to see if and how she appears, before making any guesses or conclusions.
