Renee Gracie insists she does not regret swapping racing cars for pornography as she comfortably earns a six-figure monthly salary.
Gracie was struggling with her dreams of making it in motorsport, with mental health issues beginning to creep into daily life. In 2019, she boldly chose to switch career paths by entering the pornography arena.
By joining racy site OnlyFans - an internet content subscription service whereby creators can earn money from users who subscribe to their page - she now makes a comfortable salary sharing adult material online.
Gracie has a lavish lifestyle, owning a home with a pool and fast cars while she often goes on luxurious holidays.
Due to her new life, motorsport organisations are attempting to cut any ties she has with the sport - but it was the pressure of competing in her home country of Australia’s V8 Supercars Championship that destroyed her passion for racing.
“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.”
Gracie - who hails from Brisbane - insists quitting motorsport was the best decision she has ever made, setting up her OnlyFans account three years ago. She is now happy, healthy and chooses to surround herself with individuals who improve her wellbeing.
She has since launched her own VIP website which includes pornographic material. Interested clients pay a £5 fee to join before subscribing £3 a month after the first month.
Gracie also runs her popular Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch accounts and a Spotify podcast where she openly discusses her life as an adult content creator.
It has been previously reported that Gracie is a millionaire thanks to her new job, with some estimating that she makes an eye-watering £14,000-per-week.
“I'll never give away how much money I've earned", she added. “But I've sat comfortably making six figures a month since June 2020.”
She owns two properties and a number of expensive cars, including a Mustang, a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT and a Dodge Ram.
Thriving in her current job, Gracie believes she will never return to motorsport in the future - but for many different reasons.
“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,” Gracie added. “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.”
