British schoolgirl has become one of the youngest drag racers in the world - just a day after turning eight, the Daily Mail reported.

Petite Belle Wheeler qualified for UK National Finals less than 24 hours after taking her drag racing driving test.

She is still nine years away from the UK's road-driving age limit, but in the meantime the tiny blonde can speed down tracks as the minimum legal age to get behind the wheel is eight.

Her dragster can accelerate to 50mph in just 12 seconds.

Until she turned eight, she had never driven a dragster, but after just an hour's tuition she sped through her test.（點(diǎn)擊英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》查看原文）
