English hopeful completes Supercars test

England's Abbie Eaton has successfully taken the first steps on her path to becoming a Supercars driver.

The 26-year-old got behind the wheel of a Walkinshaw Andretti United Holden at Winton Motor Raceway in Victoria on Tuesday for a driver evaluation day.

It's the first time Eaton has driven a Supercar as she explores options to compete in the Dunlop Super2 support category.

The experienced GT machinery and production car racer said the experience was everything she'd hoped.

"As soon as I jumped out of my first session I had a big grin on my face," Eaton told AAP.
