RENEE GRACIE was second-slowest in practice on her return to the track after six years out of motor racing.
The 28-year-old took to the wheel of her eye-catching OnlyFans branded car in the GT World Challenge Australia Series.
Gracie has not raced competitively since 2017.
She made the decision to quit the sport and pursue a career in the adult industry after not making enough money to continue her passion.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport earlier this year, Gracie revealed working in a male environment and hitting a brick wall financially saw her initially quit racing.
And since June 2020 Gracie’s career change has seen her make six figures a month.
But the OnlyFans star has been plotting a return to supercar racing since 2021, and confirmed earlier this month that she would be back for the Perth SuperSprint.
However, her first day back behind the wheel did not go exactly according to plan.
She was second-slowest in practice in her Audi R8 LMS Ultra – a car she had not driven until Friday’s practice session, according to The Herald Sun.
Gracie was over three seconds behind the quickest team in the second practice session on Friday.

But Gracie was not disheartened by her return to the track.
She uploaded a snap to her Instagram story sitting on the bonnet of her car with the caption: “Great first day back on the track after 6 years!”
Gracie has previously competed in the Bathurst 1000, one of Australia’s biggest races, on two occasions.
She is now back racing, and has partnered with OnlyFans on her car.
Gracie previously told The Daily Telegraph in Australia ahead of her return: “OnlyFans are really excited to be on board for the full 2023 season and to be part of the championship – and Motorsport in general.
“They are becoming more involved in supporting content creators on their platform with their passions and I’m excited to work with them on this journey.
“It’s all come together in the last couple of months, but it has come together really quickly and they are excited to be at this level.
“I think the car looks fantastic and it just makes it all seem more real as we get closer to going to Perth.”
