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.（點擊英國《每日郵報》查看原文）

?????? 據英國《每日郵報》報道，英國一名小學女生僅僅八歲零一天，已成為世界上最年輕的短程賽車手之一。

?????? 嬌小的貝爾?惠勒在通過駕駛考試后不到24小時就取得了全英短程賽決賽的資格。

?????? 她還有九年才能達到英國規定的上路駕駛的最低年齡，但目前這個小小的金發女孩已經達到賽道比賽的最低年齡——8歲。

?????? 她駕駛賽車可以在12秒內加速至50英里/時（80公里/時）。

?????? 在8歲之前，她從來都沒有駕駛過賽車，但過了8歲生日之后，她僅學習了一個小時就順利通過了駕駛考試。
