Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, this woman is quite remarkable. She's the trailblazing Aussie
who at the age of eighteen became Australia's first female
V eight star, first woman to race in the bath
is one thousand and almost two decades. Then there was
an early retirement and she turned to OnlyFans and made
substantial money, one of the most popular people on that site.
But she's back in the driver's seat and re entering
(00:23):
the racing game. And there's a documentary about all of
this called Fireproof, an incredible story.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Renee Gracie, Hello, Hello, good morning, good morning. So many questions.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I know how hard it must or I can imagine
how hard it must have been in such a male
dominated field. Has it been tough to go back into it,
particularly with the only fans interlude, wanting to be to
be taken seriously as a female force.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I feel like the return I definitely had less to
worry about financially stable. I was in a position where
I was confident, happy, I was really in charge and
there is nothing that anyone could have said or done
that would have changed my mind on the wants to
get back into it after everything that I went through.
(01:11):
I felt like I was so determined there was there
was no stopping me. Nothing anyone could say would stop me.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Did the men treat you differently second time round?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yes, I feel like I was a little bit older,
and I think that helped too. I think I was
definitely taken advantage of when I first raced because I
was so young seventeen eighteen. I left at twenty three,
so I was very young. Now I'm almost thirty, I'm returning,
and I feel like I'm a bit more of a
mature woman with a lot of experience under my belt
that I just don't let shit slide, and I feel
(01:42):
like people can definitely pick up on that. So this
second time round has been a lot better and a
lot easier. And I think it's just I'm older, I'm
more mature, and I feel like people just know that
they can't really mess with me anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I've never looked at OnlyFans. Is it all about sex?
Or is it like, does someone say, oh, how do
you do a good burnout? Can I watch you pull
a good burnout without break? Do you ever get that?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah? Obviously I'm known for the explicit side of things
on my Only Fans but I do have a lot
of race fans, and I actually credit my only fans
to my motorsport fans because they're the ones that really
made me start it. In the beginning, I wasn't racing.
I was posting stuff online. They were all messaging me, going,
you should be posting this, or you should start on
only fans. I want to see more. I want this,
(02:25):
I want that, So I thought, how hard can it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Be, Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
But now I'm back into motorsport. My page is a
lot more motor sport orientated. I take photos of cars.
I do photoshops with cars. I talk to a lot
of fans who have cool cars and they're building cars,
and they send me photos of their Porsches that they're
building or their skylines that they have in their garage.
So it's a really cool platform, and honestly, you can
use it for anything. What I use it for is
mainly explicit, but now it's got a cool side to
(02:50):
it that I really enjoy.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Can I ask you this as a female because I
watch the guys when they race, is it different for
a female? What happens you have to go to the toilet,
Because I mean, I've had two children on my bladdery shot.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
How do you deal with that?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's something you have to plan, prepare and be organized.
I stop the toilet through I don't get a toilet stopped, unfortunately,
But you do have to make sure you go before
you get in I did try and go when I
was in the car once. I know this sounds crazy
for some people. It's not overly common, but drivers have
done it. But you can't actually go.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Your muscle's not release enough.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The adrenaline, and just like, you've got so many other
things on your mind, and then you're thinking about how
busting you are. But then you've sort of got to
think about changing gears and turning a corner, and then
you forget about it. And I have tried, and I
was unsuccessful. And by the end of it, let me
tell you, when I got out of the car, I
was running to the toilet.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But you do have to plan for it, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, sometimes you're in the car for over an hour,
so you've got to be organized. You've got to make
sure you're hydrated before you get in, and then once
you're in, you've got to make sure that you go.
And sometimes nerves and excitement and stuff all of a sudden,
you don't feel that you need to go, so you
really have to time it. And we sort of have
to get in the car about an hour before our
race anyway, So yeah, it's quite entertaining. And then you
drink water while you're in the car, but most of
(04:08):
the time you swept that out.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, we have water bottles in there, so you would
have a slug or it's through a tube.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Practice it's through the helmet, yeah, and it goes showed
into your mouth. So you're stucking on that normally for
most of the race. Before you know, you've drunk three
leaders and you haven't gone to the toilet in three hours.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's a mirror. It's when you do a road trip
and you get us ten minutes, I have to stop.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You get a v in a big king size sausage.
Rather do you when you're in your car at the lights?
Because what are you driving right now? I always love
what cars you're driving. You have to get out of town.
Mustang for all.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, so I've had a few vehicles, but my daily
car at the moment is actually a Ram. I have
a big truck. Man, they're out of control.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
How do you park that in.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Sydney, you know, you just park and hope everyone else
has to figure it out around you.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's yeah, you just double park and hope for the best.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But also that would be good for you because people
probably wouldn't see you as much when you're at the lights,
do you That was the other part. If you're in
like say the Mustang, someone pulls up next year like
I hang on this renee Gracie.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, my ram is wrapped in floral yellow, just like
my Mustang is. Unfortunately, so it's pretty noticeable. But people
generally get out of my way and people, yeah, they
don't mess with me when I'm in my ram.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So with the doco, how'd you feel having a crew
follow you around? Is it warts and all? As it work?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It was amazing, incredible experience. We did a lot of
filming it pretty much all of last year, twelve months
of filming. We did big filming blocks four or five days,
twelve hour days, and they really did follow me around
for some of the stuff that I was doing. They
followed my return back into racing last year, so they
came to race meetings and yeah, they get into all
the nitty gritty and at the end of it. I
(05:38):
used to swear they knew more about me than I
knew about me. Some of the stats and some of
the things they would bring up, and I'm like, how
did you know that? Like how did you find out
about that? Yeah, well, you know, we talked to people
and we've done our research. So it was really cool,
really fascinating working on a documentary. I've never had an
experience like that, obviously, and just seeing how it's put together,
and it was an all female team that worked with
(05:59):
me really so that was amazing. And seeing these girls
and how good they are at what they do was
a really cool experience.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Well, that's great, and you're inspirational. A man who's been inspired.
She's going to join only Flans where she makes I.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Make a flan. That's what I make.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Alan.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's still not encouraging me to drive any better, So
it's the only other option I've got.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Renee, it's great to talk to you. The revealed Renee
Gracie documentary premieres on Sunday only on stan.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Good luck with so much to meet you and good luck.
