All language subtitles for Renee Gracie - Fireproof (2024)

Since I was 13 years old...

...all he wanted to do was be a racing driver.

And there's a new face to V8 racing.

and is determined to be a force in the sport.

Renee Gracie will make history this weekend.

She is the first woman...

Competing at the top

of Australian motorsport.

The horrendous accident at the top of the mountain.

She is destined to become

Australia's first female V8 supercar driver.

Motorsport is the only sport.

where people can compete, men or women.

You can't tell the difference

between a boy and a girl on the track.

But there has never been a full-time female Supercar driver.

Everyone wanted to know if I was going to be one.

How's it going?

- Good day how are you? - Good.

My name is Renée Gracie.

She used to race V8 Supercars.

I am currently an Onlyfans model.

and I am an adult content creator.

Onlyfans is basically a social media platform.

Think of it like an Instagram, a Facebook.

Except you can set yourself up to have a subscription.

and then that opens up a whole world of explicit content.

I do everything. Solo videos. Boy-girl videos.

I make girl on girl videos, licking armpits, sucking toes.

Whatever it is, it is being done.

Being the former racing driver, the Supercar driver,

turned into a porn star,

I think I can count on two things.

so that my Onlyfans subscribers like it.

And that is me.

I think they like me and then motor racing.

I think combining the two worlds is the ultimate dream.

Good Guy.

The main thing they always ask me is:

on my Onlyfans page is when I run again.

There are many things I don't miss about motorsport.

I think the political side of things,

The media and pressure.

and the expectation of always being perfect.

Drive the car to the absolute point.

where I physically couldn't go any faster.

I was at my limit and that's it,

That's what made me fall in love with motorsport.

it all started

on a family vacation to Hamilton Island.

My sister and my mom wanted to go paragliding.

Fun fact: I hate heights.

Heights are not my thing. Um, so I refused.

I say, absolutely not. I won't do it.

Anyway, my dad, thank God,

I didn't want to get on the paraglider either.

Then he said, "Let's go, you and I, find something to do."

I found a brochure that said:

"Hamilton Island Karting Track".

We left first in tandem, so we could be with dad.

I came back and thought:

Can I go alone? I don't want to go with him.

How embarrassing, it's shit.

So I asked if he could go alone.

and he was right in the cut.

You had to be thirteen but I was only twelve.

They let me go out alone in my own Go Kart.

Renee just walks away, like there's no tomorrow.

So I passed Dad like twice.

I thought this is definitely weight related.

I'm heavier than her, so I have to be slower.

That's all it can be.

Dad looks at me like,

Oh, she must be in a better and faster Go Kart than me.

Something is wrong with mine.

I changed the Go Karts and started licking him again.

So I started trying to chase her.

and I just couldn't catch up with her, and she was very fast.

And I got hooked. I love this.

Like, I don't want to do anything else.

She says this is really good.

Is this a sport? We can do this?

When we got home from Hamilton Island

I bothered dad, can we go Karting?

Is there a Go Kart track nearby?

We actually watched the race.

to see what we were getting into.

That was a real shock.

It was chaos to be honest.

I literally had a heart attack.

The kids were kind of turning around and saying,

expelled from Go Karts.

I looked at her and said, "Can't you be serious?

"You're not doing this!"

I thought, yeah, this is exactly what I want to do.

She's going crazy. She said: This is fantastic.

This is what we are going to do.

She was very excited.

From that moment

was all she could think about,

everything I talked about.

It was just Go Karting.

Mom was not happy.

Her concern was the security side of things,

but he was already obsessed with it.

Then I started scolding my dad.

All I wanted was a Go Kart.

I logged into my dad's computer

and I just typed Go Kart and then hit 'enter'

and then I left it open on his screen, like by accident.

So we decided to dive into

and get a second-hand Kart,

and a second-hand engine.

We didn't have much money for Go Karting.

I remember the first guy we went to to buy his Go Kart.

and he looks at me and says, "Is this for a girl?"

I said yes".

"Sorry buddy, I'm not going to waste it on a girl."

He said, "Oh, okay."

I think we only have a small indication.

of the things we are going to face here.

We started competing at the junior level at that stage.

I was probably one of the only drivers there.

It was just a really intense sport between father and son.

Most of the children who were running

They ran because of their parents.

Their parents wanted them to do it,

where Renee wanted to do it

and she dragged me.

Unfortunately my mechanic for a long time was my dad,

that he is absolutely not qualified to be a mechanic

In any way, shape or form.

My dad is, I call him a pen dealer.

He is an accountant. He didn't have a screwdriver at home.

He has an old bicycle helmet, a cheap suit,

with a damn Kart that was crap -

mechanic for an idiot.

We realized we had no idea what we were doing.

We received a lot of comments at the beginning.

You shouldn't be here, girls shouldn't be on the track.

Wasting your time, wasting your money,

It's not a sport for girls.

The parents could be heard saying, "Don't let her hit you."

Get in front of her.

You could hear them preparing the boys.

be really aggressive.

Put her in her damn place.

The boys wouldn't let me pass.

Basically, people just didn't brake.

and running straight towards me.

They hit me and took me out.

The boys plotted against Renee.

They worked together against her.

She destroyed our Kart.

It was a nightmare weekend.

I think he cried all the way home from there.

Four hours of crying.

And I said, "Well, this is what...

Do you want to continue doing this?

"This is what you're going to face."

She basically just said:

“Just tell everyone to fill up.

"You're not the same as everyone else.

"They don't think you deserve to be here."

Do you want to do it?

Stand up for yourself.

I only knew that I wanted

To give everything I had to go running.

Dad and I had every excuse under the sun.

give up but we decided not to.

We started a race and I think I was fourth or fifth.

And then sure enough, I feel this Go Kart.

Run right over me.

And I just saw red.

I jumped out of my Go Kart. She walked towards him.

She opened his visor, grabbed him by the collar.

and she hit him directly through the visor of his helmet.

The boy's father became furious.

And he abused her for twenty minutes,

him calling her every name under the sun.

If they cursed me, I would return the oath.

I would face them, I would face them.

Push, push, point, shove, flip, whatever,

I would do whatever was necessary.

Those are just the levels and reaches I had to reach.

Never the instigator, always the retaliator.

When she was growing up

Renee was feisty...that's a good word.

Yes. Fighter.

She received a nickname from the beginning.

when she was about two years old.

She has the smile of an angel and the bite of a crocodile.

And that continued.

Every year, from nursery to year 10,

We would have to go to the director for something.

At least once a year.

We go back to preschool.

There was an argument over a tricycle.

and a boy tried to push her off the tricycle.

Then, he pushed her.

She stood up and said, "Yes, you can keep the tricycle."

She picked it up and hit him over the head with it.

So we were always careful

Don't encourage them to do anything bad.

But if someone does something wrong,

Well, you have to defend yourself.

This just grew on me like thick skin.

Always defend myself.

That really changed everything when it came to my results.

I know that if I don't crash...

...I can actually finish.

From that moment

She was practically in Australia's top four.

I always knew he was going to be in charge.

A guy named Chris Jewell approached us.

and he said he thought there was a chance

for a driver to go to car races.

Renee was 14 when she first, uh,

she created our relationship.

Yes, she was fine, we weren't...

Only about 20 minutes or so, so...

She was very green and very young.

but she is very motivated, very focused and incredibly competitive.

There has never been a full-time successful woman

at championship level.

Then, we design a career management plan.

try to get a woman to finally aspire to compete

advanced supercar championship level.

Racing driver Renee Gracie will make history this weekend.

She is the first woman to compete

the Porsche Carrera Cup.

Chris got sponsorship from Fujitsu

and they put her in a Porsche.

The Porsche Carrera Cup, for the first time,

have a full-time racing driver.

Realistic goals are simply to learn.

I don't want to make a fool of myself, obviously.

It was at the fucking bottom.

You just have to learn to swim very fast.

Renee Gracie, the teenager on the Fujitsu team.

This is the first car Renee has driven.

Pretty hard work jumping one of these things.

They are very, very difficult to drive.

I was pretty much immediately, like,

overtake people and be very fast.

Showing great speed.

She then became the first girl to get on the podium.

Also at Porsche.

And that's Renee's first pro class podium.

in her career.

I had the best time

of my entire life in motorsport at Porsche.

He was doing what he loved to do.

I think the first time I probably heard the name

Renee Gracie, it was when she was in the Carrera Cup.

Uh, my name is Damien Smy and I'm the editor in chief.

from Australia's largest motorsports website.

I think what's amazing about Renee's story is

Diversity in motorsport is almost non-existent.

At almost all levels.

So the focus was on her as a woman.

Just a teenage woman at that stage too.

Renee Gracie: Her last Carrera Cup round.

She is moving on to V8 Supercars.

After two years,

the twenty-year-old has become the first woman

since Leanne Tander in 2001 to race V8 engines full time.

She's great. I can not believe it

But I think I've earned my place.

Renee moves into supercars,

Uh, that's a pretty big jump.

Supercars is the pinnacle of Australian motorsport.

It is the most competitive and fiercely contested series.

It's supercars above anything else in Australia.

in terms of motorsports seen on television.

I know why Renee was chosen.

My name is John Ruggiero.

and I am CEO of Push Talent Management.

At that time the sport was rushing to include her.

They needed to bring a woman to that seat.

So, Renee was pushed into Supercars,

because she was the only woman.

It was probably too early.

But they had to do something.

A woman in motorsport in Australia...

He had to prove his ability.

What we haven't seen is a woman.

she really be able to compete seriously,

to fight for a podium, let's say.

There was this incredible fascination

about whether Renee could be that person.

The first time she drove a V8 supercar,

I remember thinking, Oh my God, this is out of control.

The things I used to focus on,

As a Porsche driver, the car could always do.

But when I tried to do that in a supercar

The car didn't do it.

I quickly realized it was a big leap.

and I really should have had another year

of experience under my belt.

I started going to the gym six days a week.

The main thing was the upper body strength to change gears,

fighting the steering wheel.

Leg strength too.

Every brake application on a supercar

It's like a eighty kilo leg press.

I worked very hard to be on par with most men.

I was running against.

Renee has joined

with the V8 veteran and Bathurst champion,

Paul Morris this year and there couldn't be a better mentor.

I always find that women learn much better than men.

The kids think they know everything.

When I started in the development series

He was racing with Paul Morris Motorsport.

Morris, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

You were voted the dirtiest driver in the paddock.

How do you feel about that?

I'll probably have to go take a shower.

My first impressions of Paul

It's that he was afraid of her.

He was the owner of the team, the boss of the team.

He had also just won the Bathurst 1000.

He knew that he loved to fight.

He gets out of the car.

Oh no, he's put the biffo back in the bingle.

I knew it was controversial.

He's picked the wrong guy to mess with.

So when the opportunity arises, I will return the favor.

no problems then...

I feel like that's why he chose to run for me.

He didn't care about people's opinions.

I think all the other guys are a bunch of pussies,

so it's good.

I think the cracks started forming relatively quickly.

I didn't have a driving coach,

I didn't have an engineer, I just had Paul.

Pour the fuel, number one.

It just wasn't enough for me.

because I was learning these cars.

I wanted more information, I wanted to see my times.

and I can actively try to improve while I'm in the car.

I complained a little

and I just said I need more help.

He said, "What you are asking for is too much."

and you shouldn't need that to be a better driver.

The way he made me feel...

He needed everything and it was hard work.

and I wanted the world...

To make it as if it had a lot of maintenance

or like a 'princess' for example.

She wouldn't tell me much,

because she wasn't really dealing with him.

Paying parents can participate,

but parents whose daughters are fully sponsored

They are more of a nuisance than a value, so,

You don't usually go as much as you do,

like you did before.

It was about two weeks before the Adelaide 500,

My first race in a Supercar.

I've never raced here before so I don't know what to expect.

...what you're seeing out there.

Yes a lot. She has lost some weight.

I came from an interview,

go to another interview.

I was texting my mom and I said, "I'm running really late."

And I said, “Can you make me a quick sandwich?”

“Throw it in a Ziploc bag or something.

"And I'm just going to take it and walk away."

She says, "Yeah, don't worry."

I came home and the sandwich was in the kitchen...

...and I say: "Mom!"

My instinct was telling me

that something was very, very wrong.

And then I looked out

and my mom was lying on the floor.

I got a little closer and saw blood.

And I got a phone call from Renee,

It's like a crazy panic phone call,

"Mom has fallen."

The ambulance arrived in about five minutes.

She came to and I said, "Mom, mom, it's me!"

She looked at me and said, "Who the hell are you?"

She didn't even recognize who I was.

It was as if she had never seen a human before.

She was present but she was not a mother.

we went to the hospital

And that's when we discovered it was much worse.

than we could have expected.

They showed us a scan of his brain.

and I just said that this is one of the worst brain hemorrhages.

we have ever seen.

She had had a major brain aneurysm.

on the right side of her brain.

And if he gets out of this it will be a miracle.

That was about two or three weeks before.

Renee's first race in the Dunlop Series.

The countdown to V8 supercars

The first race of the year is underway.

with teams arriving in Adelaide for the Clipsal 500.

Mom had not woken up from the coma,

so we were hoping she wouldn't make it.

They almost told me to do it, man!

We went out to qualify and that was the first time.

being on a track, racing a Supercar.

And then when I came out of pit lane...

...the board remained blank.

I could not see anything. I had no idea what team I was on.

I couldn't see when to shift gears.

You can't see if there is a warning.

She was on the radio practically immediately.

No answer, no answer.

I just remember feeling confused and nervous.

Paul was the one who responded to me saying:

"Yes, I did it like that for a reason,

"Just do it and move on."

So it was programmed so that he couldn't see anything.

once I was out of the pits.

And when I jumped out of the car,

I walked straight towards Chris.

"You turned off the fucking board,

"I could not see anything".

And I just lost it.

Paul came over as I was exploding.

And he said, "All good drivers don't need it,

"So you don't need it.

"You don't need numbers to tell you what to do

"and how to go fast.

"You should want to go fast."

I don't even know where I qualified.

I'm pretty sure it was like last time.

I had to answer to Fujitsu and all my sponsors,

and say why I had such a horrible qualifying session.

And that was the first race we had together as a team.

and that was practically the beginning of the end.

The media and my image began to grow.

The attention on me began to grow.

Renee, how does it feel to be a woman?

Compete brilliantly in a male-dominated sport?

Um, well, I'm always used to being the only woman.

So for me it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Being the only woman, it became evident to everyone.

that there was extra attention on me,

compared to the other drivers.

I'm not going to walk around with a suit around my waist

and in a bikini.

I'm here to run. I'm as serious as any of the other guys.

It was never really something I strived for,

be the only woman.

I didn't really care, but obviously the media did.

The fast and feminine - great woman.

She will take it to the men in the Grand Prix.

Her name is Renée Gracie. There she is.

She was on TV and there were a lot of other people watching.

Appearance was a big part of everything I did.

Renee Gracie looks like she belongs on the catwalk

but it is the racecourse that she calls home.

Renee is also a marketing dream,

and her good looks land her endorsement deals.

He was embedded in me.

that she needed to look a certain way.

That came from my manager, my sponsors.

and all the people internally,

telling me to be this perfect looking woman.

One hundred percent a marketing strategy

for people to come buy hats and products

and get people to come to the racetracks and watch.

It was very clear that Supercars was more concerned about

have a pretty female race car driver in Australia

That was going to make everyone a lot of money.

That was, that was my job.

I have been blessed with some great sponsors.

and some great people.

But that took me away from my Development Series program,

as he was still learning to drive a V8 supercar.

This season,

she moved on to the V8 supercar development series,

but rising through the ranks has not been easy.

She really was starting to interfere with her progress.

Renee Gracie, come join us.

Hello Renee. Now you are behind the wheel.

Tell us what that's like.

And Renee Gracie is in the gravel.

Her education continues.

They were one percent races and the rest was just nonsense.

Nothing was relevant to what I originally loved to do.

and that was running.

This year was a pretty big learning curve.

I finished this race,

Obviously not with the best result.

I think for the best drivers,

background noise doesn't matter.

Elite athletes are not affected

because of what's happening outside.

So I think that shouldn't make a difference.

You have provided...

Chris was starting to get pushy.

and more demanding with my appearance.

One week, I could have come,

and it might have seemed a little heavier

and Chris was like, “Hey, have you gained weight?

"Your face looks chubby."

There will never be a requirement for Renee

be a skinny catwalk model.

As long as Renee can be a girl who weighs around sixty kilos.

She is actually sixty-five years old.

But I'm not going to say that.

'Circa' has bandwidth.

That's the way it is,

you have a little space to play there.

You could see the stress,

The pressure on her was simply enormous.

In the meantime, we're trying to get to the hospital.

every opportunity to see what's going on.

Sue was in the hospital for six months.

They basically said that her chances, um,

waking up without life support are little or none.

There was a slight flicker in the scan of her.

Little by little, over a couple more weeks, she,

She finally woke up.

She lost all cognitive ability.

He has no short-term memory.

I have no balance.

She is in a nursing home.

for people who have brain injuries.

She barely recognizes us when we enter.

We have to improve her memory.

about who we are and why we visit

And, yes, it is very difficult.

Mom before the accident -

stubborn, noisy...

A strong, independent...

Without fear, without fear...

Kind of like me, I guess.

I just grew thick skin to deal with the situation and,

and move forward.

It must have played on her mind and,

And he worried her more than she really did,

She gave me that impression.

Renee deals with a lot of things very privately.

Sometimes it's very hard to get, you know,

what's in Renee's head what's in Renee's head.

I think, personally, it's really a side effect.

of the pressures she was subjected to while she was growing up, in cars.

She is mentally strong.

You simply couldn't have done any of this.

If you hadn't been harsh.

How do you feel about

Being one of the only female competitors?

Yeah, there are a lot of guys around here and, you know,

Sometimes you feel a little alone.

But, um, yeah, that's just part of the job.

and I love what I do and I endure it.

Renee's first year, I hatched an opportunity.

to create an all-female wildcard entry into the Bathurst 1000.

I had such a bad year with no results.

The Bathurst 1000 was going to be my chance

to show people what he could do in the car.

Brisbane V8 driver Renee Gracie

will make history at Bathurst 1000 this year,

when she boards The Mountain.

And welcome to Mount Panorama,

Exclusive coverage of The Great Race.

It is arguably the toughest race track in Australia.

161 laps, seven hours of racing.

200,000 people are expected to cheer him on.

your heroes this weekend.

Bathurst is the holy grail of motorsport.

It's the race of all races, friend.

Go Bathurst!

Fuck you!

The race is an excuse

to get away from his wife and her family.

Receiving almost as much attention,

the scantily clad promotional girls.

Oh, if we stop getting caught in the butt.

I know.

Chris was telling me we have a chance.

To make the Bathurst joker, we need to find a driver,

We are going to make a driver and a female team.

A wild card entry is like an extra entry.

or a single entry.

And the opportunity with wild cards.

is that it attracts more attention to supercars

and it gets more people in the door watching motorsports.

It's extremely exciting, um...

Renee was the only potential V8 driver.

So Chris began searching the world for a female driver.

that she wanted to come run.

...of Silvestro for the first time

on the podium.

Simona de Silvestro is a Swiss racing driver,

highly accredited in terms of IndyCar in particular.

She took a break last year to try Formula One.

Simona really wanted to come and do it.

I've always seen that race track.

I've seen that race and always wanted to be a part of it.

This way ladies.

We became Simona and I, the 'Harvey Norman Supergirls'.

Gracie and her Swiss teammate, Simona de Silvestro,

nicknamed the 'Supergirls'.

The first all-female entry in seventeen years.

It was great to finally have one

comparable female figure in your life.

In all my life I had never spoken

a racing driver before.

There has only been one other all-female team

to compete with Bathurst, back in 1998.

Melinda Price and Kerryn Brewer,

the first Castrol Cougars to take on the boys

in endurance racing.

I think that if you group two drivers together

because they are women, that doesn't make any sense.

Some fans might have seen it as

You put two women in the car because, that's right,

You know, minimize the risk.

Because to be honest, we wouldn't put Simona with a guy.

or Renee with a boy because he's a waste of an entry.

Castrol Cougars too.

I went to Bathurst '98,

It's just... yeah, there's the girl's car.

Are good?

I don't know, I've never heard of them.

So see, where do they come from?

Oh, they're only in it because they're women.

To be frank, then...

Thousands of racing fans

They have already started setting up camp at Mount Panorama,

more than a week away from the Bathurst 1000.

Yeah!

Hi Gracie...

The media was simply out of control.

It's probably sunk to the bottom a little bit.

- A completely new world for me. - A little pressure.

- Difficult to drive. - There's a lot to take in.

I'm kind of the main driver.

no experience in a V8 Supercar.

We both didn't have much experience.

Racing legend Dick Johnson expresses doubts

the first Bathurst women's team

will be able to finish the 161-lap race.

Some have criticized

the inclusion of the exclusively female team,

suggesting it is a ploy to generate more media attention.

I don't agree with how V8 supercars work.

They're throwing money away, you know, supporting her.

Groups of men were shouting things and shouting things.

"You're fucking useless!"

"You should be in the kitchen."

"You should be making sandwiches, not on a racetrack."

"Take out your tits and become a web girl."

"You don't deserve to run."

All those kinds of things were,

They were very common, all the time, all the time.

Danika joins us now with some breaking news from Bathurst.

Danika.

Dave Reynolds is in trouble tonight

after making a sexist comment about the all-female team.

These are the comments

so David Reynolds is under fire.

David, hey, did you distrust the women's team?

Sorry, were you aware of the wagon?

There was a comment calling us 'pussywagon'

and was performed by David Reynolds.

David, interview one, take three.

My name is David Reynolds and I am a V8 Supercar driver.

David Reynolds has won

the second V8 Supercars race of his career in Darwin

and they asked him about his low-key celebration after the race.

I am known as the class clown in my sport.

Well, he more than made up for it on the podium,

drinking from his boot, which may explain

how he got the stomach pains in the first place.

Yes, Dave, um, has a unique talent, you could say,

and he gets into some trouble.

Yeah, it seems like he always screws up.

- Honk if you're horny. - Honk, honk.

Bathurst Thursday is just a normal practice day.

and ended up with the third fastest car of the day.

Then the top three drivers go to a press conference.

And then someone asked:

"Did you see the women-only car out there?"

And then I said, "What do you mean by the wagon?"

That was it.

I loved it, I wanted to run, like, merchandise.

and I wanted it to be my new nickname.

I could look at it like it's something that really...

it could have taken off and it could have been really great.

We were with Ford Performance Racing

and Dave was on the team,

So we used to say all kinds of things like that.

Yeah, we used to make fun of each other all the time.

Maybe about an hour later

one of the engineers on the other side of the room

look up and go,

"Hey Reynolds, are they going to fine you $25,000?"

And I just said, um, not that I know of.

A few minutes later someone knocked on the door.

and there was a Supercar representative

with a paper in his hand and handed it to me.

He said: "Don't challenge it or they will double it...

"...at $50,000."

So that scared me a little bit and made me sign the deal.

And then I was basically forced to

receiving the largest fine ever imposed on a driver.

The fine he received was the largest fine in,

As far as I know, the history of Australian sport.

Comments by David Reynolds

They have been branded as shameful.

- A sexist comment. - A sexist comment.

- For an offensive comment. - A sexist insult.

I thought, am I going crazy?

Am I really sexist?

For a moment I would have said

that Dave's career was over.

Supercars had already told Chris

that then I had to make a public statement,

and I remember telling Chris,

"I'm not going to make any statement.

"I do not have any problem with that."

And Chris turned around and said:

"No, you have to make a statement or

"Supercars will practically build one in your name."

They issued an apology

with my name attached saying it was mine.

I can't even remember what he said.

because I wasn't part of it at all.

It's very, very strange that they can do something like that.

I let them know I had no problem with that.

and they basically said,

"You have to portray our thoughts,

"not what you think and how you feel."

Slightly inappropriate and, uh, yeah,

It's one of those things, the V8 Supercars have handled it,

And Simona and I will continue with our work today.

that she is driving a racing car.

She knew she was a puppet.

When she was in front of the camera, she wasn't...

That wasn't the real her.

And I get it, I get it, I know. I'm in the same sport.

Basically, how in a way

I received information from Supercars,

there was a big thing in the media

about how athletes treated women.

Rugby league is maligned, usually fairly,

as the sporting code of worst behavior.

The NRL has come under fierce attack.

One of his favorite children...

He was found guilty today of sexual assault.

Stalking two women.

Raising his hand up a woman's skirt.

Repeatedly attacking his ex-girlfriend

over a period of eight months.

The supercars were very worried about not being dragged

the footballers are trying

Their wives, girlfriends and girls like this.

And now supercar drivers treat girls like this.

V8 Supercars says comment was disgraceful

and completely unacceptable in sport.

Oh!

Very aggressive driving.

Other drivers have crashed cars,

trying to run over other drivers on the track,

effectively using them as a weapon.

Get away, get away.

They've had fights in the pit lane, punches.

I find it funny,

that I could go and physically hurt someone

and I couldn't get that kind of size right.

Very strange, isn't it?

But I paid with my credit card.

I like telling people about it and I got Qantas points for it.

and I ended up buying it as a nice toaster, so...

Yes, it's beautiful. Beautiful toaster.

At Bathurst 1000 people abused me,

and they spat on me, I had death threats

and nothing was ever done to protect me.

However, a driver, who was a friend

and I thought I was trying to be pretty funny,

makes a comment that they did not approve

and supercars exaggerate it.

It didn't make sense to any of us.

because there were so many other things

what they could have focused their time on.

Clearly it was all just for image.

and they just didn't want to be

dragged into all the other drama

That was happening in sports in Australia at the time.

Come, darling.

It's your ticket to the history books.

No one will ever forget you.

This is the race that means the most.

Lose this race, ruin this,

Well, that's a pain that will stay with you.

for the rest of your days on this earth.

Get ready for the 2015 Bathurst 1000.

It was non-stop media,

Continuous attention from all angles.

Suddenly, you get out and run.

The crowd is ready,

The drivers are configured.

For me it was my time to show

that I deserve to be there.

We are just a few minutes away from starting.

There was nervousness about not crashing,

Don't make yourself ridiculous.

The drivers break loose.

It's chaos as everyone tries to free themselves from the pack.

On the top of the mountain,

to the cheers of the fans awaiting his arrival.

Everything was going well until lap sixteen.

Oh no, we have an accident

and it's the Supergirls entrance,

Renee Gracie on the Forrest Elbow wall.

For skeptics, it takes sixteen laps to Bathurst

It could have been a vindication,

Oh, that wasn't a good decision.

Why the hell did that happen?

Why didn't I slow down? Because he was braking hard.

This is the end of Supergirl's run.

Huge damage. This will require a safety car.

If you have to be picked up by a tow truck

and being towed back you don't finish

and I was kind of inflexible.

I thought there was no way I was going to get back in a tow truck.

Wow, Gracie has managed it.

to remove it from the wall. That is incredible.

My hood was so bent up.

since when I hit the concrete wall

that I couldn't see in front of me.

I could see in my rearview mirror

if I focus in the middle of the road

and just based on my memory of the track,

He drove home to the pits, blind.

Doesn't it turn around? The steering column must be pretty messed up.

after that accident.

I remember feeling stressed, disappointed.

I remember everyone who was sitting in the pits.

looking at me as if disappointed for having crashed.

Simona de Silvestro is not happy.

She can't hide that.

Turns out there was oil at Forrest Elbow

and it was the car in front of me that dropped it.

People started coming back and reassuring me.

that it was not something I did of my own fault -

to make me feel a little better, not that it was.

They have been able to fix the car.

and Supergirl's career is back.

They took them to lap 53 to get the car out.

They have just reached the window to qualify as finalists.

Craig Lowndes achieves his sixth victory

in The Great Race.

We finished twenty-first.

We were able to recover

and I think that made it an achievement in itself.

After we finished and I went to the bathroom,

I saw groups of men.

They were like in the corporate boxes,

talking and pointing.

Don't you know how to brake? Don't you know how to drive?

Don't know where the corner is?

And yes, I threw a beer can, a full VB beer can

Straight to my head.

Something like a blow on my shoulder, neck, head,

like it bounced off me.

I remember just pretending not to look embarrassed.

and it almost seems like it didn't hit me

and he didn't touch me and I just liked to play calmly.

Security knew it, everyone knew it.

They considered him "not drunk."

He was still in the corporate boxes above our garage.

They didn't kick him out.

Just sixteen laps later,

Heartbreak for the all-female team.

Renee Gracie crashed into a wall at Forrest Elbow.

The car was finally repaired.

but the Bathurst dream had been ruined.

All weekend,

I think she really did some damage to Like.

my confidence and it definitely changed and changed

the way I think and feel about motorsport in general.

Even with the accident

The supercars were still happy with the general program.

The value of the entire Bathurst event

It was 62 million dollars

and the media value of Renee and Simona

It was 22 million dollars.

Throughout my entire career in motorsports

I received zero dollars and zero cents.

I was fully sponsored

but every penny would go back into the racing program.

I didn't get paid to run.

I was broke.

After Bathurst I wanted to be closer to Chris,

closer to the team I was with

and reset everything with a new team and a new car.

My dad was very against me going down to live with Chris.

He was telling Renée:

Your father is not interested in you, your father is not,

I'm not interested in your career.

I didn't tell him.

- Oh no? - No.

So he didn't see you come out with everything?

Now.

How did you sneak it out? Was he out?

- Put everything in my bag. - Go out to dinner?

No, I just put it all in my bag.

I would have done anything to, you know,

be a paid driver.

So if anyone wanted to get in the way of that

It was like, okay, I won't listen to you anymore, next time!

And that was dad, unfortunately.

I spent the last six years going karting,

spending damn money.

If that's the case, fuck you!

More or less how the conversation went.

We have been bloody

like in each other's pockets for almost six years.

So, yeah, it was... it was difficult.

I think deep down the passion was really exhausted.

And Renée Gracie

Loses control of the rear of the car.

She's out of business.

I hate this.

I don't want to be here anymore.

The last race I did.

It was about half a season.

I think we had about three more races left.

They told me we don't have money to go to the next round.

And then I remember thinking, hmm, that's weird.

We should keep X amount of dollars

based on sponsorship, you know,

Which I thought we were getting.

Dad was obviously not in the photo.

because I wasn't talking to him.

He didn't have anyone who knew what to ask.

I think it was like the nail in the coffin.

The last kick in the gut.

It was my moment of

Just get out of motorsport in general.

She is replaced by Jordan Boys.

a couple of rounds left

and in five races, Jordan manages to accumulate

more than half of the points that Renée obtained in seventeen.

Ladies and gentlemen

V8 supercar winners!

If you're not on the pointy end all the time

then it's easy to just fade into oblivion.

I think I was probably alone for about six months.

I thought about coming home

but dad and I still had a very broken relationship.

and still disconnected relationship.

It definitely wasn't the same.

It was a very strange moment to realize that: I had no one, I had nothing.

When racing stopped, pretty much everything stopped.

I realized that I was actually very depressed.

and I really hated myself and I hated everyone

and I hated my life

because I wasn't really living a life for myself.

I didn't realize how badly they were controlling me.

or how much they were forcing me to be this thing

that they were making me look like.

I think when I realized I could do whatever I wanted

I quickly felt very good, comfortable, free,

I only have control of my own life.

I'm making my first vlog.

When I took over my social networks

and could actually show a real side of Renee.

For the first time people had seen me outside.

of something like racing equipment.

Suddenly I'm in a bikini,

So I think that generated a lot of interest pretty quickly.

I saw several comments, you know,

You should put this on Onlyfans.

I thought, what the hell is this OnlyFans thing?

On Google, I say, “What is Onlyfans?”, question mark.

And then, obviously, everything came up.

The one I saw was about a girl.

that she was uploading explicit content.

Just bikini photos, basically what she was putting on Instagram.

I thought, oh, I'm already doing that, what do you mean?

Are people going to pay for that? That's ok.

Two days later I made an Onlyfans page.

There really wasn't much of a thought process.

put in it at all, like almost zero.

It gives me something to do,

earn a little extra money,

a couple hundred dollars a month.

And I was like, oh, I better post a picture.

and just as I took a photo - publication.

He went crazy!

I had my notifications on my phone.

and then it was like ding, ding, ding, ding.

My entire screen was filled with these blue squares.

of all these subscribers.

In the first fifteen minutes

I had like 2,300 people on my Onlyfans.

And everyone was paying to be there.

so I also received all this money.

It was, you know, 20, 30 thousand US dollars.

My first reaction was simply: Damn! What should I do?

Every new subscriber had sent me a message,

I had thousands of messages.

Some guys were so direct and crazy and said:

"How much does it cost to see pussy?"

Or "I want to see your anus, how much?"

They got straight to the point.

Well, it kind of took me by surprise.

Many messages of support and love from racing fans.

Those messages made me feel very good.

I didn't think anyone gave a shit.

And I thought, well, I should probably go tell dad.

Yes, she just asked me to borrow $2,500.

put an exhaust on her Mustang.

Then a couple of weeks later she said:

"Oh, some of my fans have said that she might join me in this.

"And you can make some money from it."

I said, "Oh, yeah, okay."

My idea is just a little thing where, you know,

chats with your fans.

I didn't even bother to look into it.

And then she said:

"Oh, I'll pay you back for the escape."

And I'm thinking,

How much money are you making from this?

At that time she had already earned about $80,000.

As if she had been crazy.

That was basically in a couple of days.

I was very happy because I got my money back.

because of the damn exhaust.

Because according to the previous story that money was dead.

She would never see him again.

She was very excited.

I just remember thinking I'm fucking rich.

Like because I was so broke.

I have never had so much money in my bank account.

She lived all those years racing cars.

earning nothing, living off a can of bloody tuna a night,

suddenly have something

that she has complete and total control of

that's making a motza.

So the transition for her financially

It was just incredibly different.

The old accountant in me had to go back to work.

and start managing money.

Then dad made me settle my Afterpay account.

He made me pay off my car loan.

and then I went and bought a house.

I started to go a little viral.

When good girls go bad!

Renee Gracie has become a porn star.

Creating spicy adult-only content

on the Onlyfans website.

Thousands of articles were written about me.

The former racing driver turned porn star.

The twenty-five year old

He claimed to have won $64,000 in three days.

I didn't know so many people wanted to see me naked.

One thing led to another.

The more articles were written,

my page was better.

Then it just exploded.

Here we go.

Let's start with some portraits.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Love!

- Makes sense? - Good. Yeah.

- It's good, awesome. - Nice color.

Alright? Yes, robe.

My evolution was slow.

and I think that's what helped my success on Onlyfans.

What I felt uncomfortable doing at first

He was naked, topless.

That's great. Perfect.

Having put that leg forward.

Radio!

So when I moved on from the bikini photos,

I moved on to the lingerie photos.

One year later,

I started doing nudes and I started making my own videos.

It was actually a very slow progression.

I never did anything I wasn't comfortable with.

Um, the decision to have sex on camera,

to me it just felt like something

which I felt comfortable doing.

It was like, yeah, the first sex video: unlock it to watch it.

This is how my page was made.

I really offered everything from that moment on.

My profits skyrocketed.

Dad was doing my accounts,

so daddy could realize that suddenly,

He was making, you know, $80,000 a month.

And the next month it could have gone up to 120!

I'm not stupid, I'm not naive.

I imagine there's probably more to it than I know.

He put two and two together and said:

"What are you doing?"

Renée then confessed.

She had to tell me about, more or less,

The concepts of the movies.

It's a bit of an awkward conversation.

have with your dad but, um,

Anyway I was like, uh, I was like,

I'm just happy fucking in a movie and making all this money, dad.

Get over.

I'm pretty easy.

She is on Onlyfans. She is a porn star.

That's how I describe it.

So people are so surprised

They are too scared to ask more questions.

I'm going to count on you.

Keep your foot flat and then stand on your toes.

Well, here we go. Three, two, one, let's go!

What is she doing?

She is in complete and total control of her own career.

She's not hurting anyone.

She makes a lot of people happy.

The feeling I had from Supercars was,

Don't mention Renee Gracie and Supercars in the same sentence.

They put so much pressure on me to be this sex symbol.

this attractive looking girl

That would make them a lot of money.

So it was good that you benefited from it.

but now you're not getting the millions of dollars

in your back pocket - it's like, oh no, no comment,

I don't want anything to do with that.

So basically they just deleted me

from memory of anything Supercars related.

That's fun and interesting to me.

Being in motorsport for so long

I always felt a little alone

and he didn't have many friends.

The chickens are the best. Oh!

I was a little nervous when I started OnlyFans.

about being involved with women,

simply having to collaborate with them.

I didn't think anyone would have anything in common with me.

and they wouldn't want to be my friends.

Probably one of the most fun things we've ever done.

Completely naked balloon ride over the Gold Coast

with a champagne breakfast.

Oh yeah, damn, that was probably one of the best ones.

I started to realize that these girls were smart,

They were educated.

Everything they had told me

of what these girls were like, it was the complete opposite.

- What was that car you had? - Renée] The AMG.

She had an AMG and we drove somewhere.

He drove very fast and was very scary.

I drove - I got to 80! I don't...

It felt like 3000!

Some like my best friends.

They are because of girls on Onlyfans,

which I find quite funny because

I never thought that would be the case.

Hello guys, welcome to my 'live'.

Today I have a very special guest.

My best friend, Tayla.

Today we are going to "spin the wheel".

We have 'kissing', 'name on chest', 'twerking',

'Topless Photos' and a 'Custom Video' with Tayla and I.

Yeah!

- We're hanging around Daniel. - Come on!

Kisses!

I've done things with several girls before.

and this communication has been very fluid.

I'm going to do this to you, do I have your consent?

I feel like everything is hard with kids.

and like everything was like fuck, heavy breathing

and as if men were men.

'Name on the chest'.

It's just a very nice atmosphere that I find with women.

Steve is fighting for real estate.

Steve really likes the shoulders.

Onlyfans turned the industry upside down

and gave the porn stars a lot more control

about the content in which they appeared.

It's all me. It's not anyone else.

Women are in control of this industry.

So this is where the magic happens.

I have lingerie sets, accessories, lights.

My first giveaway and the most important giveaway.

It's my dildo giveaway.

These are the essentials for my day-to-day work list.

And I have accumulated a very interesting variety of dildos.

I never thought I would have a tie like this but here we are.

I have my old racing suits.

Um, from when I used to race in the Bathurst 1000.

It's just nice to have them.

Starting my Onlyfans,

It was probably one of the best things.

that has ever happened to me, to be honest.

But all the stress and pressure of my weight

and how I saw my entire career in motorsports...

It just had effects later in my life.

I had lipo on my chin, lipo on my back,

lipo in my arms, lipo in my belly.

I just felt like I had this unwritten rule.

that I finally had the opportunity

To make me look like I was told

I should have searched for so long.

So I went and did it.

So I had boob jobs twice.

I had two Brazilian butt lifts.

and then I also put a lot of Botox on my face,

to the point where it doesn't move.

Suddenly, I think everything caught up with me.

I need to face my past.

That is this?

None of those.

You don't want to look at any school photos.

Well it's been a long time since

I have looked at any of these.

My mom used to make me a scrapbook.

and then I did it just for fun.

That's when we got hooked.

My only skill, pumping gas.

Oh, sometimes you couldn't even do that properly.

We used to take a day off from school,

and we just did lap, after lap, after lap, after lap.

When that dream evaporated

I always saw it as a missed opportunity.

I could see she was good at it.

All your Karting bibles. I had forgotten about these.

So after each session

You would go and write your description of the,

of what happened on the track.

I would check every corner of every turn.

So in corner three...

"I feel like I have to slow down the Kart to be able to turn,

"And wait to accelerate at the right time."

And the middle corner: "I feel like if I make the entrance right,

"I should be able to hit the accelerator at the top.

"Make it perfect!"

If I had to go back,

The main thing would be to have control.

Return on my terms, not yours.

To see what the results would be like.

and to see how much better it could be,

is one of the main drivers.

Hello, this is Renee Gracie...

Hi, I'm Renee Gracie...

Renée Gracie here...

I'm just looking for Robert from the Daily Mail, please.

He was asking me if he could communicate with me

with Steve from Sports AU, please.

Kate from The Project, please.

Yes, I am planning to return to motorsport.

I think enough time has passed

from the last time I was in a car until now...

...my own circumstances...

I feel like there is no better way

Than buy my own equipment and come back!

And now Australia

First female supercar driver.

She is planning her big return to racing.

In fact, she wants to buy all the equipment.

Yeah, well, I have some extra money lying around.

Are you aiming for Bathurst?

Yes. Yes. They make entries with wild cards.

So I thought, why not do it again?

I feel like it's a bit of a redemption to join Supercars again.

Do it at 1000.

You don't just get into supercars.

She deliriously thinks that because of her profile,

Supercars are simply going to give the thumbs up.

Come on, Renee.

You can't just be a wild card.

I don't really watch racing anymore.

It is a bit boring. It's flat, very repetitive.

Motorsports are not a friendly sport for women in general,

and much less women doing what I do.

Many people are going to make it difficult for you.

for me to come back in.

Hello, this is Renee Gracie.

Supercars won't help you

If you are super critical of them...

...uh, neither.

I think it needs some spice.

A racing driver who has done porn.

I think that will bring a lot of eyeballs to the television.

It's just a publicity stunt.

It will probably sell you more, um, OnlyFans.

If I can go back to Bathurst

I'll take the minibus out again, that's for sure.

That's great, perfect.

Ten.

It is very important to keep your eyes on history.

It's pretty easy to turn it off in the background.

It's definitely keeping them honest.

and hold them responsible for what they do.

The 1000 was a point in my career

Which I think made me and broke me at the same time.

So I think there's a little bit of redemption,

to return to 1000.

To show and prove that I can do it.

and become a successful racing driver.

What are you doing?

"Former Supercar driver Renee Gracie

"I was hoping to return in this year's Bathurst 1000,

"but it seems that the sport's governing body doesn't believe it,

"Calling his move as a publicity stunt.

"She's just using the sport to sell more videos.

"It's not even worth commenting on.

"Because it's just not going to happen."

A small fire burns inside me to prove a point.

and prove them wrong.

I called dad and told him:

We need to figure out how to get back to Bathurst 1000.

He's like who are we going to get as manager?

I was like, isn't that obvious?

You take it out on the track and you can do it.

Think of the fun we will have. Very well done.

Going back this time,

It was important that she have complete control of everything.

My job was to help her do that.

to make sure we go with someone we can trust.

How the hell am I going to run again?

But what else is there that isn't a supercar?

or something that has a chance to surpass you

in the Bathurst 1000?

My first initial thought was to go back to Porsche.

It had a lot of people

who would answer my phone calls and leave,

"Yes Yes Yes."

Okay, that's great.

And then two weeks later

They don't return my phone calls

and they have completely fooled me.

I heard there were other teams saying:

"Don't let her come back here and she would be a disgrace."

And that's when things started to get

a little tense and complicated.

Then I got a text from GT Series.

GT World Challenge Features

some of the most extreme racing cars in the world.

Audi, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes AMG,

and the GT World Challenge

He is competing on circuits around the world.

It's very exciting.

It is a unique category that is coming to Australia.

We started chatting with the GT guys.

and they basically said,

"We love you and we want to support you.

"What can we do to help you?

“He has the chance to move you into a wild card at Bathurst.”

Then I thought of Mark Griffith.

Griffo is one of the team's main owners.

in the GT Series.

He races cars himself.

This is what GT racing is all about. Cool cars.

Renee's dad had already told me.

that he couldn't go running in some of the other places.

Either they didn't want her or she didn't fit in.

or are they just idiots -

which is a bit disappointing.

A little narrow-minded these days too.

And he called me and said:

"So, Renee can drive a GT car and be with you?"

And the answer was: "Yes."

We will take you to GT 3.

We established some standard ground rules that said:

She's only there to race cars,

We don't go to Onlyfans parties or anything like that.

Whether they have them or not, I don't know, but,

If you find out, let us know why we're not going.

My original plan to return,

I was thinking the only way I'm going to do this

It's if I buy my own damn car,

If I buy my own racing equipment.

And then, suddenly, the right opportunity arose.

I have a sponsor on board.

and you may have heard of them before.

It's not me who puts money to compete,

In fact, they have given me a budget and money,

to make the complete series.

Once the green light was clicked

We needed to be in Perth within two weeks.

In the last six months I have trained very hard,

I have lost twelve kilos.

I feel strong and fit.

Yes, I think I'm ready.

Phew!

"Unfortunately we cannot attend

"external filming.

"We wish you the best with your documentary project. Regards."

The first round is the Supercar round.

That means they are in control of the situation.

I just think it's crap.

I've worked with media at Supercar events before.

I did it for six years of my life.

He knew they would probably try to control the situation.

and I feel like that's probably how they're going to be

all year long, it will just be "No."

- Good morning. - Hello Dad.

Today is race day.

This is the first time I will be in this race car.

I saw it for the first time the other day.

I haven't driven it. I haven't even started it.

I feel like everyone

He always expects me to be slow and crash.

It's been a while too.

- It's been so long... - It's been six years.

Since you've been in a car this fast.

Everyone thinks I was always shit.

when I used to run.

How could I come back and be good? So...

Although I think that deep down

applies a lot of pressure to Renee to get a result.

Pressure to not look bad.

You just have to ignore that and stick to your own plan.

Yes, we'll see if we can get in.

I don't know about your camera, but we'll find out soon.

Yes, this is the front door.

Could we... shall we stop here?

Just pull it to the side.

Disconnect us and disconnect us.

Yeah.

Race 1 in round 2

from GT World Challenge, Australia.

I mean, I was even looking

a first round with Renee

and I was waiting to see Renee's car on the broadcast

and, curiously, I didn't see her much,

and I wonder why.

I've heard rumors that a directive was handed out.

to anyone who had a camera in their hand

not to show myself.

It's been very good days here.

at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit,

As you can see right now...

We're in the Shannons SpeedSeries round

on Phillip Island.

Since the weekend,

I wait and hope to finish.

That's the main.

Obviously we were in Perth just two weeks ago.

I stayed clean, I didn't crash.

But the risk of the track in Perth is low.

It's going to be pretty hectic around here.

Because it is very fast.

Oh, one thing I really want to do is stretch.

Warm up.

So I've already done a hundred push-ups.

and a four mile run this morning. Yeah.

I wanted to do it before everyone got here.

I didn't want to, you know, rat anyone out.

You're four minutes late.

Correct.

I had never driven a GT car before Perth.

I'm still learning the car.

There is a lot of media attention,

There were obviously a lot of people watching and watching.

What happens if I crash?

All I want to do is prove myself on the track.

- Just have fun. - Thank you.

Okay, whenever you're ready.

Comfortable?

Brilliant.

Let's go ahead and turn on the main.

And then the ignition.

Oh, okay, but I think we need the ignition on.

So, obviously, putting on and taking off the brakes,

put on and take off the brakes.

And it is not so much a preparation, as a supercar.

He is alone in that.

That is incredible.

That's even more than what I'm looking for.

Then you can do it. Well?

We're about five minutes away, okay?

- So I'll give you something... - Impressive.

Are you OK?

She always turns right when leaving the garage.

GT World Challenge, Australia.

One hour of racing today here on Phillip Island.

Good start, everyone grouped up and ready to be unleashed.

in a perfect place for them.

We join Renee Gracie,

She currently ranks thirteenth.

Directly opposite is Darren Currie.

It's a good fight.

It goes inside.

Good pass. I did the work.

Put that pressure on Samadi.

Yes, she looks like Renee

she takes a position there, in Samadhi there.

So we made a nice clean move and here we go... off they go!

He shouldn't be able to stand a girl hitting him.

It is worth noting,

Looks like Renee Gracie is almost in the top ten.

Previous generation Audi. Well done.

Renee actually ranks eleventh

at the moment.

She sticks to her guns in a lesser model car.

She is licking the car in front of her.

She is surprising us all.

Last lap of the race.

Renee Gracie asking for class.

She has been out of racing for about seven years.

What a complete performance this has been.

A very exciting end to this race.

The last turn. Checkered flag.

Renee Gracie wins her class.

I think I managed it pretty well for the first time.

- Well done. - Yes Yes.

He and I were sitting here with smiles on our faces.

It was ok.

Do you want to get a photo?

Cheese!

The roar of the engines fills the stands

here at Sydney Motorsport Park.

And here we go, they will run wheel to wheel.

Gracie in front of him.

In all the other races I am getting better and better.

and getting better.

Renee Gracie right behind this group

and closing.

She's been consistent, she hasn't made any mistakes,

Great with her comments.

I think she will get faster and faster.

and higher up in the group.

I fell in love with him.

I was having a lot of fun going for a run.

When Renee started winning races,

Suddenly we're sitting there thinking,

You could almost win this championship.

They have hired her in a car that she had never driven,

in a category she had never been in.

She already masters it.

Onlyfans sponsorship -

Renee is not the best role model.

Hello how are you?

For girls who want to start racing.

Cheese!

As for Renee continuing

with her business adventures while she practices sports,

she kind of sends the wrong message.

The idea of a Bathurst reboot

supposedly stagnant.

Publicly, Supercars says it does not discriminate.

But there are claims that in private

Officials are dubbing the situation "The Gracie Circus."

People always criticize me.

It doesn't really matter what you do.

Hey, let me see who's driving.

- Oh you! - Oh shit!

But I find myself six years later, I'm back running,

It is fun

and I have loved every second of it.

That makes me not really care about other people's opinions.

And as long as I'm happy that's the only thing that matters to me.

And they leave.

I did a GT4 round,

so it's basically the one below GT3.

Renee Gracie has already been eliminated

quite a few competitors.

She now has Karl B absolutely in her sights.

Look outside.

Good for her, she's turning it around.

She's not just following the leader,

she's trying a different line.

Ooh, something went wrong

with Gracie there.

We got to the car when she pulled into the pits.

She opened the door and is about to jump in.

and out of her mouth came, “I can’t thank you enough.

"That's the best fun I've ever had in a race car."

Gracie sets off again.

She passes the speedcafe.com car.

There's Paul Morris watching.

Check this out, Renee Gracie at 181.

Up to fifth position.

She comes from last place.

She has surpassed the group to fourth place.

The checkered flag is out, Renee Gracie fourth.

It was the best weekend of my racing career.

Honestly, it was probably one of the best weekends of my life.

Just as we are here now

He has won eight of eight races.

So no matter what everyone says, guess what?

Renée is back.

Now I just shake it and spray everyone.

I have the wildcard nomination form in front of me.

for supercars.

I am preparing to apply.

The whole return was to do a series.

to show that I am fast and I want to get back to 1000.

The truth is that I respect her a lot

to re-enter.

Nothing but crazy respect for her.

Now that I've done the career that I've done

in the GT Series: win races.

Then you would have enough Super License points to apply for them.

You will have a Super License.

Nothing should stop you from competing in Supercars.

Entry fees for the wild card event are $50,000.

"Provide evidence that the applicant has financial capacity

"to operate a wild card."

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

"Describe a proposed marketing and public relations strategy

"for the wild card,

“Including assisting Supercars with local and national media.”

What it will do is attract people to the sport.

Because in the past I loved to look

all the great personalities of our sport.

There is no one that fans can really sympathize with or like.

because everything is quite sanitized.

If you want to be on television

and you want an audience, you need entertainment.

We perfectly meet this wildcard requirement,

as without a doubt, not even a question,

And I've done it before and I know I can do it again.

The last two years have led up to today.

To get to this point. I'm ready for it.

I'm on my way to Griffo's,

He called me and he told me that he has some news.

about including me in a team for the Bathurst 1000.

I have a very good feeling about it.

So last week, without you completely knowing.

Hmm...

I spoke to a couple of V8 Supercar teams that I know well,

and I just asked the question.

If there was a possibility of a wild card, could...?

And they were both interested.

Well.

Then they came back to me and said:

They've talked to V8 and said, "No way."

They would never give you your license back.

Yeah...

So the teams agreed, but Supercars...

Yes, the teams agreed. Supercars didn't.

Yeah...

It's done. It's over.

It's your show. They can do it.

With all that in mind.

Yeah.

I think GT racing is best for you anyway.

Yeah.

There were many reasons why

I wanted to go back to 1000.

I really felt that within me I did have the best of everything.

I really could have proven myself.

It was the perfect time to finally return,

and take a stand.

But fighting against an industry that has power, that has money,

who has the strength to defend himself and, you know,

You're just a small fish.

It's practically impossible.

I wanted to make an industry and a sport again.

who is so set in his ways, change his ways.

But it is almost impossible to break through or break through.

There is literally nothing you can do about it.

Great battles, fierce acting.

and consolidating yourself in the history books.

Get ready, Australia, for another Bathurst 1000.

Simona de Silvestro was chosen

for the wildcard entry at Bathurst.

She's the only girl who's run since we've run.

But oh no, we have drama

In the top of the mountain.

Oh, it hits the back of Simona de Silvestro's car.

and she has been led astray.

I'm not sure it was a legal measure.

Oh, clearly it's exactly the same as when I left.

In the other side,

The GT offered basically everything and anything

which, uh, supercars never offered.

I've had a lot of fun this year: GT racing.

It's to the point where it's like, why should I?

Why would I go back?

Screw supercars!

We're at Queensland Raceway.

There is pressure for the Championship.

All you have to do today is finish.

If he finishes this, he will tie up this championship.

and be the holder of the title.

And she will be the first girl to do so. Yeah.

This is a track where the tires explode.

and they like to break quite often.

They just explode and cause a lot of damage.

because you go like kilometers per hour

through a corner. You can crash.

There's always a chance you won't finish.

and that is motorsport.

It could be mechanical, someone could eliminate you.

But I want to do this.

I want to win the championship.

I really, really want this.

There we go.

Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia.

See them in one!

Tander, a little contact there.

Game on!

Knocking on doors, one next to the other,

still at the exit of turn 2.

You can see the cars really bouncing

on the way to turn 1.

Picking up some dust, dirt and salt.

Renee Gracie, class leader.

Remember, look at the title.

Okay, Abbie got off the road.

and Ross Poulakis also spun, that's turn 1.

Oh...

Shoot towards the field.

That's terrifying.

Cars that circulate with cold tires.

It's hot and slippery out there

then it could be affecting your balance.

Oh, another wild moment.

We're a little nervous right now.

Oh yeah. Oh, unpleasant incident there...

Riding aboard with Renee Gracie right now,

chasing another car.

Come on, Renee.

Come on, climb inside him.

She has it right in that corner.

She has held him through that turn.

Now she has to get it back on track.

Keep it in a straight line.

She was trying to understand what she was saying.

I was doing this: “Yes, the straight one, yes.”

Oh, another whiff of twilight on the exit of Turn 5.

Oh God.

I think we have a turned off Audi.

Let's look here at Moff's replay.

Oh, so it was until turn 6.

One minute, forty-five to go.

We are running out of turns. Run to the end.

It's just a matter of finishing

and so far he has not made a false step in this race.

Oh, he's leaving.

Come on, Renee.

Heading for the checkered flag,

the last one of the weekend.

Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia.

Take the token!

Oh, she's going to be so fucking happy.

An Australian title on the way

after that result and a great reflection of the season

that she has had.

That's great, that's really great.

It's a championship closed, done and dusted.

Yeah.

The championship title.

Renee, congratulations. How about?

Thank you. Yes, it's surreal.

I don't think she's figured it out yet.

I think Griffo deserves it, the boys.

everyone who has helped me this year

and he took me under his wing

and I can't give it back any other way except maybe a Championship.

- I'm going to go up to the podium. - It is done.

Oh shit! Maybe they can wait for me.

Sorry, I had to do my hair and makeup.

Put on the suit to go up to the podium.

Oh shit. Look, everyone's rushing me.

I couldn't even straighten my hair.

Damn stitch.

Now let's move on to the trophy class.

The winner in the trophy category, Renee Gracie!

Yeah!

I definitely think I've rekindled

what I already knew I had.

And I have loved every second.

Thanks guys. It's all yours. Take a drink.

Now, naturally, I can't stop thinking about

next year and the year after that and the year after that.

Yeah!

Change for women will have to come over time.

I have received more hugs today than I have in two years.

All the old school department heads,

Time will slowly eliminate them all.

and will bring new generations.

They will have to retire

They cannot continue working when they are eighty years old.

Really great in turn 2.

As you would know.

There were times in Go Karting

That was simply spectacular.

There were moments at Porsche that were spectacular.

But now she has achieved what I believe.

she was always able to do.

Victorious.

No tissues.

Bloody hell.

It's ridiculous.

Thank God you're not going to put this on film.

because no one will believe you.

It's about Renée.
