Controversial racing driver Renee Gracie has delivered a brutal verdict on her former career in Supercars, declaring she has no intention of ever returning to the category that once defined her.
‘Supercars is done, they are dead to me,’ Gracie told News Corp.
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 Bathurst 1000, has drawn a definitive line under that chapter of her life and she isn’t looking back.
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 said.

OnlyFans success funded her racing comeback, allowing Gracie to return on her own terms without relying on sponsors
That turning point sparked one of the most unlikely comebacks in Australian sport.
Gracie turned to OnlyFans, a move that would completely transform her life.
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,’ she 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 life, but her racing ambitions, this time on her own terms.
Now competing in GT World Challenge Australia, Gracie has found a new 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.
She partnered with Bathurst winner Will Davison, forming a serious Pro-Am title push despite early season setbacks
‘They don’t want me and that’s fine, that’s just how it is,’ she said.

‘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,’ she said.
‘I’ll be here until the day I die if they allow it.’
Gracie’s return to racing has not been without 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 the 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 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 teammate difficult.
‘It’s been difficult to get clearance from other teams and other sponsors that drivers bring to partner up with me,’ she said.
But with Davison onboard, Gracie believes she now has the tools to push for a title in the Pro-Am class.
‘I want to show people that I’m here to take this seriously,’ she said.
‘I do want to try and win all three. That’s my goal.’
Away from the track, Gracie’s success has translated into a luxury lifestyle.
She has invested heavily in property, purchasing a $1.33million Gold Coast home complete with a large workshop space tailored to her passion for cars, a symbol of how far she has come since her lowest point.
Still, she remains one of the most polarising figures in Australian motorsport, something she openly embraces.
‘I have no shame but not because of anything other than, why does it matter?’ she said.
‘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?’
