- Renee Gracie is adamant that women are not respected in Australian motorsport
- Sport urged to follow F1’s lead and launch all-female academy series
- Gracie, 29, started OnlyFans in 2019, a leading star in the adult entertainment industry
- She also competes in the GT World Challenge Australia circuit
OnlyFans sensation Renee Gracie believes Australian motorsport should follow Formula 1’s lead and create an all-female academy series.
Gracie, 29, who ran the Bathurst 1000 twice before starting her career in adult entertainment, says now is the right time for a change.
Emulating what Formula 1 is trying to do, which is to give women an elite chance to eventually compete against drivers like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, should be applauded.
‘AAfter seeing the F1 Academy and how amazing it was — I mean, if Australian motorsport isn’t copying what they’re doing, it’s clear they just don’t care,” she said Wide world of sports.
Gracie, who is also currently competing in the GT World Challenge Australia, added that there is still a need for AFLW and NRLW-style racing.
“When you really do something for women, suddenly women feel safe, they feel comfortable and they are happy – just like they do now with AFLW and football,” she added.
“If there is nothing in the works and the plan is not to do anything in the near future that is just about women in motorsport, then I think it gives a clear picture of how they feel about women in motorsport.”
In May this year, Gracie stated she would never return to the V8 grid, as she felt disrespected.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think much has changed in Australia for women in general,” she told News Corp.
It is clear that I [personally] I misled myself by having OnlyFans as a sponsor.
‘But that’s perfectly fine…I’m fine with taking the criticism.
“But I have to say that I have been bullied personally, and people still call me fat and ugly to my face.”
She called her transition to adult content in 2019 “life-changing” and has no regrets about the move, which has seen Gracie become a highly polarizing figure.
Gracie also reportedly gets support from her father when it comes to explicit content, as he “manages her business accounts so he knows exactly what’s going on.”
