The Worcestershire based racer made two outings in the GT Academy last year, including a brilliant double podium in the season opener.\n  <\/p>\n<p>For Barclay, a GT Academy debut marks a welcome return to Ginetta racing. He last appeared in 2019, when he scored multiple race wins in the G40 Cup to record a second consecutive top four points finish in the championship.\n  <\/p>\n<p>Whilst she may be making her car-racing debut this season, Brame is no stranger to the paddocks having spent two years working for teams alongside her studies in Motorsport Engineering.
