Perth speedster Chloe Grant has joined Graham Brunton Racing’s all-female line-up for the 2022 season.
The 15-year-old Perth High School pupil has made her mark on the track after a successful apprenticeship in the karting scene.
Chloe is a member of the prestigious British Women Racing Drivers’ Club (BWRDC) and last season she secured first place in the Saloon Trophy and third in the club overall.
Chloe, who joins Formula Ford graduate Logan Hannah (20) in the new-look team, commented: “My ambition has always been to step up from the karting circuit into single-seater racing, and now I’m taking on the new GB4 series with Laser Tools Racing — what an opportunity for me.
“GB4 is an exciting new championship that will see aspiring drivers progress in single-seater racing and with Laser Tools Racing’s support, I’m really proud to be involved in this new series.
“And to be partnered with Logan, well that’s got to be the dream team!”
Chloe captured four karting championships before winning the Junior Saloon Car Scholarship in 2021.
That opened the door to car racing for Chloe, who spent a year honing her race craft and experiencing the most challenging circuits in the UK over nine events.
Martin Smith, chairman of Laser Tools, said: “We are delighted to sign up Chloe and feel that paired with Logan Hannah’s ability and experience we can continue our ethos of spotting young talent and developing that talent on the race track. We’re confident that we’ve assembled another winning team.”
The Scottish duo sits within Graham Brunton Racing, a family-run team based at Knockhill Racing Circuit.
Team manager Craig Brunton said: “It’s great to have Chloe joining us.
“We’ve seen her progress from karts to cars and she comes from a real racing family with a huge passion for the sport.
“This will be a big learning curve – moving to slicks and wings in the Tatuus chassis.
“But her approach to learning new skills has really impressed us.
“Working with a two-girl team in the Laser Tools Racing branded cars is an amazing opportunity and we can’t wait to hit the track and begin the hard work.”
Chloe, who lives in Perth, has also secured backing from the John Clark Motor Group for the 2022 season.
The GB4 Championship, partnered with the BRDC, will kick-off at Snetterton in early April ahead of joining the British GT and GB3 package.
The series will visit all of the UK’s premier circuits, including Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington Park, and Oulton Park.
