Renee Gracie Delivers Scathing Verdict on Supercars Career
Controversial racing driver Renee Gracie has issued a brutal assessment of her former career in Supercars, emphatically stating she has no intention of ever returning to the category that once defined her professional life. The 30-year-old, who made history as one of the first women to compete full-time in the Supercars Championship and raced at the iconic Bathurst 1000, has drawn a definitive line under that chapter.
'Supercars Is Done, They Are Dead to Me'
In a candid interview, Gracie told News Corp, 'Supercars is done, they are dead to me.' Once touted as a trailblazer for women in Australian motorsport, Gracie's career stalled after she was unable to secure the funding needed to remain competitive. She walked away from the sport in 2017, admitting she had been left in a 'dark place' after dedicating everything to racing.
'I walked away from motorsport really defeated in a dark place, I had nothing, I lost everything dedicating my life to motorsport and it didn't work out,' she revealed. That turning point, however, sparked one of the most unlikely comebacks in Australian sporting history.
OnlyFans Success Funds Racing Renaissance
Gracie turned to the adult content platform OnlyFans, a move that would completely transform her life and finances. What began as a financial lifeline quickly became a multi-million dollar enterprise, with the former driver revealing she was earning five-figure and at times six-figure monthly income.
'I was broke and it went really well, I was very fortunate,' Gracie said. 'I was very blessed and I had so much financial success on the platform and it changed my life and then I was able to live again.' The financial freedom allowed Gracie to rebuild not only her personal life but also her racing ambitions, this time entirely on her own terms.
New Home in GT World Challenge Australia
Now competing in GT World Challenge Australia, Gracie has found a new competitive home in the sport, racing under her own OnlyFans-backed program. She says the difference in how she is treated compared to her Supercars days has been stark and profoundly meaningful.
'They don't want me and that's fine, that's just how it is,' she stated regarding Supercars. 'We've separated ways, they don't want anything to do with me and honestly, I know where I'm welcomed and I know what works.'
That sense of belonging has been central to her decision to completely shut the door on a Supercars return, despite previously attempting a comeback in 2021. 'I just feel like to be accepted and to be in the category that I'm in now in the SRO series has been a blessing and I have no desire to be anywhere else in the world,' Gracie affirmed. 'I'll be here until the day I die if they allow it.'
Partnership with Bathurst Winner Will Davison
Gracie's return to racing has not been without significant challenges. Her 2026 season opener at Phillip Island was marred by first-lap incidents in both races, leaving her and co-driver Will Davison fighting from the back of the field. Despite these setbacks, the pair showed strong pace, recovering to a seventh-place finish in Race 1 before being forced to retire in Race 2 after contact caused steering damage.
The partnership itself is a powerful statement of intent. Davison, a two-time Bathurst 1000 winner, joined Gracie's program after navigating sponsor concerns linked to her OnlyFans association, a hurdle she admits made securing a top-tier teammate exceptionally difficult.
'It's been difficult to get clearance from other teams and other sponsors that drivers bring to partner up with me,' she conceded. But with Davison onboard, Gracie believes she now has the tools and the team to push for a championship title in the Pro-Am class. 'I want to show people that I'm here to take this seriously,' she declared. 'I do want to try and win all three. That's my goal.'
Luxury Lifestyle and Polarising Legacy
Away from the track, Gracie's financial success has translated into a luxury lifestyle. She has invested heavily in property, purchasing a $1.33 million Gold Coast home complete with a large workshop space tailored to her passion for cars, a tangible symbol of how far she has come since her lowest professional and personal point.
Nevertheless, she remains one of the most polarising figures in Australian motorsport, a status she openly embraces and challenges. 'I have no shame but not because of anything other than, why does it matter?' Gracie questioned. 'I guess the taboo subject is the sexual explicitly of the platform and the content that's provided, but that's life, isn't it?'
Renee Gracie's journey from Supercars trailblazer to OnlyFans entrepreneur and back to professional racing on her own terms stands as a unique and defiant narrative in modern sports, redefining success, acceptance, and personal agency in a highly traditional industry.
