Renee Gracie: Fireproof

At nineteen years old Renee Gracie became the first female in 17 years to race at Australia’s biggest motorsport event. Despite breaking records, Renee faced blatant sexism while competing, and was eventually pushed out of the sport. Capitalising on the sexualisation she faced in Supercars, Gracie went on to be Australia’s biggest earner on OnlyFans. The documentary follows Renee as she attempts to re-enter V8, using the millions she's earned from OnlyFans. There’s just one problem - Supercars don’t want her back.
