RENEE GRACIE was at a crossroads in her life.
Struggling with her dream of becoming a success and raising enough money to survive in motorsport, she suffered depression and hated her existence.
But in 2019, she made a decision that would change her life forever. She boldly chose to ditch racing cars for raising pulses with a career in porn.
Aided by a risque OnlyFans site, she now makes a comfortable six-figure salary monthly sharing explicit adult material online.
It has allowed Gracie to live the dream lifestyle she has always wanted – owning a home with a pool, fast cars, and lavish holidays.
That all has come at a cost, with motorsport organisations now cutting her off from the sport she loves because of her racy profile online.

But, it was the pressures of competing in the V8 Supercars Championship in her native Australia that killed her passion and prompted a job change.
“Motorsport is tough, I fought for years to raise money, and get results,” Renee told SunSport.
“It’s hard to perform when you’re not raising enough money for a spot in the top team.
“On top of all of this – training, eating well, being continuous with how I looked and performed.
“I constantly had to prove myself being a female. I had to deal with negative comments, a lot more than what the boys got.
“Being in a male-dominated sport, and a negative environment most of the time, unfortunately I got to the stage where I lost my passion.
“And I wanted out. My mental state was shot, I was depressed, sad and hated where I was.”
Adult material
Frustrated working in a male environment and hitting a brick wall financially, the Brisbane beauty quit racing, which she calls “the best decision I have made.”
She set up an OnlyFans account three years ago, and saw her bank account swell. It was justification for her gamble, and improved her own well-being.
“I love OnlyFans, the concept and how it changed my life,” she said.
“Not because of my success on OnlyFans. But I’m happy, healthy and every day I choose to surround myself with people who bring me up and don’t put me down for my weight, looks or results that weekend.
“The OnlyFans success is just further proof of how much I didn’t like the environment I was in. And now that I’m doing something I love, I’ve tried and become successful.”
Renee has since launched her own VIP website, complete with pornographic material, including 18+ videos where punters pay a £5 fee to join, then around £3 monthly after the first month.
While she has also expanded her social media profile, with thriving Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch accounts, as well as a podcast on Spotify where she openly discusses her life as an adult content creator.
“I’m happy, I love myself and my life. It’s so much more than porn,” she told SunSport.
“It’s where it put me and changed my life forever. That’s what makes it okay.
“My life doesn’t revolve around porn and sex. I’m a normal girl, I have dreams, goals and passions.
“What I do is legal, I pay taxes, I don’t hurt anyone. What I do for work every adult does.
“I just choose to share it and make money from it. It doesn’t make me overly different to any other girl my age.”
She’s in the money
Past reports have suggested Renee is now a millionaire thanks to her sexploits, with some estimating she makes £14,000-per-week.
“I’ll never give away how much money I’ve earned”, she said.
“But I’ve sat comfortably making six figures a month since June 2020.”
Her riches have allowed her to live a glam life many her age would surely envy.
Not only is she a property owner two times over, she has a garage filled with fancy cars.
She is currently building a massive swimming pool for her lavish digs too.
She revealed: “I would say my houses (are my most expensive purchase).
“I have an investment property I bought pretty much straight away within the first six months of leaving motorsport.
“I paid $333,000 (£178,000) for it. And then my current house I live in cost me around $1.33million (£700,000).
“My cars, I paid my Mustang off. I financed it when I didn’t have money. So that got paid off with about $40,000 (£21,000).
“I bought a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT for around $320,000 (£171,000) and my Dodge Ram was about $170,000 (£90,000).
“My newest investment has been my pool, which is expected to cost around $180,000 (£96,000) once finished. And there’s been lots of lavish holidays.”
A future in motorsport, though, is unclear.
“The door has already been closed on this. I’ve been told no from a lot of categories that I can’t join because of who I am and what I do.
“In Australia racing is extremely tight and runs on very old rules.
“There are no people of colour, there are no females. I know first hand how they treat women too. There are no openly gay drivers.
“This is all because of the people and the environment. So to get shut down wasn’t a shock.
“If anything it raised some questions into how the sport runs and operates which could be beneficial for others moving forward.”
