OnlyFans racing star Renee Gracie confirms career change despite ‘people frowning on what I want to do’
ONLYFANS star Renee Gracie has confirmed she has sealed a deal to return to motorsport.
Gracie, 28, was a former Supercar driver before going into adult entertainment and has been plotting her return to motorsport for a number of years.
The beauty walked away from the sport in 2017 after driving in the Carrera Cup and Super2 events.
Gracie made the decision after not making enough money to continue her passion and instead changed her career to make the most of her good looks.
However, the OnlyFans star has announced that she will be back behind the wheel in the GT World Challenge Australia series.
It’s a major starting point for the Australian as she looks to seal a return to race in the Bathurst 1000 in the next few years.
She has featured in the race, one of the biggest in Australia, twice before retiring to pursue her career in adult entertainment.
Gracie had hinted at a return to the sport last month when it was announced she would star in a new documentary which will follow her comeback to the sport.
Now it’s official and after missing the Bathurst 6 Hour event, Gracie will be on the starting grid for the Perth Supersprint, beginning April 28.
Gracie told the GT World Challenge Australia website: “I started planning a return to the sport in 2021, which is when I started getting serious, talking to people and discovering what was possible.
“The first indication was that there were challenges to find the support within the industry to make it work, so we took our time to plan and get the ideal program together.
“I was very strategic with who I worked with and who I wanted to deal with on my comeback.
“Some opportunities that presented were right and some were wrong, but the stars have aligned to pull all this together.
“Everything has worked and fallen into place and I’m really happy with everyone I am working with and who has been part of this journey.
“It was proof to me that yes, this was the time to get back into racing.”
The 28 year old said it had been difficult to pursue a return to the sport because some motorsport officials have frowned at her ambitions.
She added: “Ultimately it shouldn’t matter who you are or what you do.
“If you want to achieve something and you set your mind to doing it, you should be able to achieve that.
“It’s taken two years to get to this point with some people frowning on what I wanted to do and trying to stop me or discourage me, but the fact we have got to this point shows that it doesn’t matter and it shouldn’t matter.”
The star, nicknamed Devil Princess, once claimed to have made £278,000 in a month via her online uploads.
She started driving as a teenager and dreamed of competing in Nascar.
This is not the first time Gracie has launched an effort to return to racing, in 2021 she supposedly forked out £550,000 trying to make her own team so she could feature in the Bathurst supercar race.
