“We’ve purchased the Audi to run for the season,” said Gracie.
“There’s a lot going through my mind, it’s been quite a big effort to get here to say the least. There have been a lot of moving parts in the background to make this happen.
“Obviously, I’ve got all the Stan stuff on the side and I pitched to OnlyFans a few months ago about being potentially involved in the return and they were hugely interested. It was back and forth in discussions with them to come onboard as a major sponsor to do it properly, and to have an OnlyFans car running around.
“When people think of OnlyFans they think of me, so why not have it on the car?”
“It was a big, big job to get it this far and I’m sure it’s going to an even bigger year. There’s lots of excitement, lots of people involved to get it here, which I’m very grateful for.
“I’m so excited and I can’t believe we pulled it off to be honest to be going to Perth. I can’t believe we’ve finally done it and we’re going to be there.
“Mark Griffith has a team and he helps other competitors run their cars. He’s good for transport as he has big trucks to put it altogether and he’s got guys, which will run between our cars, so we’ll be a team of two floating around to all the rounds.”
