Video: Jump aboard as racing driver Abbie Eaton makes her Revival debut

It's not just Eaton's first time at Revival. It's also her first time driving the 'Cuda, a car that, as owner Duncan Pittway readily admits, is too well-engineered and, indeed, too heavy to have a realistic chance of winning a race that features nimble Minis and Lotus Cortinas, as well a big-bore Ford Galaxie firepower.

Thankfully for Eaton and Pittaway (better known as the owner of the Beast of Turin), the British weather does its thing dowsing the track in a thick layer of water for much of the weekend. Surprisingly, this suits the Plymouth, levelling the playing field between it and its lighter or more powerful rivals.

As comfortable as an old slipper to Pittaway, the Barracuda is all new to Eaton as she manages brakes fade and gets to grips with her Stars and Stripes machine's portly posterior. 

Can the pair better their 14^th-place target? Can the rain turn the tables enough to bring home victory? Watch the video to find out.
