V8 driver who quit to earn $1million as a porn star on OnlyFans breaks her five-year silence on THAT disgusting nickname she earned while racing - after a rival was fined $25,000 for the remark
Renee Gracie has spoken out for the first time to address the controversy surrounding the 'P***y Wagon' scandal that saw Dave Reynolds fined $25,0000 five years ago.
The V8 Supercar driver, who has now become one of Australia's most successful online porn stars, said she thought the 'disgraceful' quip was actually funny and wasn't offended at all.
During an interview in 2015, Reynolds referred to the first all-female Bathurst 1000 driving team - made up of Gracie and Switzerland's Simona de Silvestro - as the 'P***y Wagon'.
The comments were widely condemned by the motor racing community as sexist and deemed highly inappropriate and distasteful.

'They wanted to take a stance and made it clear that he would be made an example of. I didn't have a choice in what I said. I just did what they asked me to do,' Gracie told the Daily Telegraph.

With pressure on her from the higher-ups, she towed the company line.
But deep down she thought the Ford Falcon FG X, prepared by powerhouse team Prodrive Racing Australia, should just 'run with it'.
Gracie even wanted the team to officially change the name of the car to the P***y Wagon, envisioning a powerful opportunity to create merchandise.
Now five years removed from the controversy, the trailblazing female driver says she regrets not speaking up in support of Reynolds.

'Dave just made a joke. He is a great guy and one of the best in the category. The sport would be bland and boring if he wasn't around,' she said.
'He was just trying to be funny and, to be honest, I did think it was funny. Everyone knows he means well and sometimes you get that crazy weird stuff.'
After she sensationally quit motor racing, she now rakes in more than $500,000 a month as a porn star on the subscription adult entertainment site OnlyFans.
Gracie has earned more than $1million dollars just selling nude photographs and explicit videos online.
With so much cash coming in, the speedster recently forked out for a $350,000 Mercedes-AMG GT.
The top end model boasts 596 horsepower, reaching speeds up to 332km/h.
She calls her new pride and joy - the Pussy Wagon.
