From Bathurst to OnlyFans, and back again.
At nineteen years old, Renee Gracie became Australia’s first female V8-Star and the first woman to race at the Bathurst 1000 in seventeen years. Despite breaking records, Renee faced blatant sexism at every turn, until she was pushed out of the sport altogether. Capitalising on the sexualisation she faced in motorsport, Renee Gracie became Australia’s biggest earner on OnlyFans. Now, she’s ready to re-enter the sport she loves, using the millions she made as an Adult Entertainer. But V8s don’t want her back, believing her return is a ruse to promote her OnlyFans. This film uses Renee’s unique experience to examine the greater injustices faced by women in motorsport, exposing the discrimination faced by sex workers in modern Australia and painting a broader portrait of two Goliath companies, V8s & OnlyFans.
