Renee Gracie reveals porn request, blasts ‘double standards’ in motorsport

Being a porn star comes with some unusual requests for ex-Supercars driver Renee Gracie, who has hit out at the racing industry.

Renee Gracie on her switch from Supercars to porn

Former Supercars driver turned porn star Renee Gracie has taken aim at the “double standards” in the racing industry and revealed more details about her activity on an adults only website.

The 25-year-old revealed last month she was making tens of thousands of dollars in just days thanks to the added attention she received after going public with her career switch.

Gracie, who said she struggled to make a living in motorsport, is raking in cash by uploading photos and videos to adult subscription website onlyfans.com.

Earlier this week she told The Daily Telegraph she is plotting a return to the sport because he now has “the financial security to get back into it”. But her battle to make it in the male-dominated world of Supercars has been a slog from the beginning.

“When I was driving, people said I only got a start because I had long hair and I was pretty,” Gracie told the Daily Mail. “It was the opposite. I had to work twice as hard as the guys for anything I got.

“In the end that was half the reason I gave up driving. The other half was the cost. I just couldn’t afford it anymore.”

Gracie added it “wouldn’t surprise me” if people within the motorsport industry had subscribed to her onlyfans account and believes she’ll face obstacles if she wants to return, saying: “It’s double standards but I’m used to that. I’ve had to fight for a fair go and equality my whole life.

“I think some competitions like the Porsche Supercup would let me race but I would be amazed if Supercars let me back in. They are very old school. They all know what I have been doing and it would be a big shock for the system.”

Life in the world of adult entertainment comes with some weird surprises, and while Gracie wants to keep her subscribers happy, there are some things she won’t do. The most extreme request — which she denied — came from someone who wanted Gracie to meet him in person and fulfil a fetish.

“He was offering anything, but I wouldn’t do it. That’s one of my rules. I would never meet one of my fans face-to-face,” Gracie told the Daily Mail.

“One thing I’ve learnt from doing this is that everyone has something weird and dark and secretive inside them. At first I was thinking, ‘Whoa, that’s crazy’ but then I got used to it.

“Now I think, ‘OK, I can cater for that’ but if it’s too extreme or outside my boundaries, I shut it down.

“I don’t like people being rude or mean to my other fans and there’s been a couple who have been too weird so I’ve had to block them or restrict them.”

Gracie is confident should she race again, her new-found fame will be a blessing.

“A few years ago I had to scratch around to find sponsors and plead with them to back me,” she said. “Now if I go back with my own team I shouldn’t have any problems at all.

“The adult entertainment industry is huge. Can you imagine how many websites and clubs will want to have their logo on my car? I won’t be able to fit them all on.”

Gracie competed in the Bathurst 1000 before giving up racing.
