Racer Turned Porn Star Renee Gracie Urges Jamie Whincup To Retire After Bathurst Crash

Renee Gracie believes it may be best for Supercars legend Jamie Whincup to end his illustrious career after his recent Bathurst 1000 crash.

On Sunday, the seven-time Supercars champion and four-time Bathurst winner crashed out at Mount Panorama on lap 33, bringing his and racing legend Craig Lowndes’ hopes of victory to an end.

Commenting on the incident, the former V8 racer, who left racing in 2017 and entered the adult industry, suggested that it may be time for Whincup to retire and give other drivers a chance to shine.

"I don’t know what’s happening there, but I think he’s had enough wins, his time is done. Everyone knows who he is, let someone else have a chance," Gracie told News Corp.

However, the OnlyFans superstar isn't optimistic that the 37-year-old will actually step down anytime soon.

"A few of the old guys are in it, they’re legends. They make money, it’s great for them, but sometimes pushing it a few more years isn’t the right call. I will be surprised if he does another year, but that said, given COVID and the year we have had, maybe he wants one more," she continued.

Although Gracie understands that Whincup may want more victories, she believes this would be the perfect time for him to retire, explaining that he has already done enough and has made his mark in the sport.

"Finish when it’s the right time, don’t hang around too long. He has no reason to keep going. No one will forget about him," Gracie said.

"I’d like to see these guys stay in the sport in another way, special comments and commentary etc, they add such a great level of knowledge to things, I would love to see more of that. Not many people can do that," she added.

Meanwhile, Whincup's crash didn't come as a huge surprise to some motorsport fans. Some Twitter users said they had predicted it because they noticed that he usually does "something stupid" at Bathurst, while others felt that he was "too impatient" when attempting to overtake.

Speaking after returning to pitlane, Whincup admitted that he had made a mistake due to impatience. He said he doesn't blame Brodie Kostecki, the racer whom he tried to overtake before his Commodore spun out and hit a wall not even a quarter of a way through the race, stating that he was entitled to go as fast as he can.

"On reflection, I smoked the rears pretty heavily down at the Chase trying to get through and I probably underestimated the surface going up into the Cutting," Whincup said of his mistake via the Supercars official website.

He continued, "In hindsight, I should have just waited another lap and I probably would have got him back down at Conrod on the next lap."
