First Race of the 2025 Season: Town to Track! 🏎️ | Renee Gracie | Renee Gracie

Video Description from YouTube:

Welcome to the first race weekend of 2025 at the iconic Phillip Island! We are kicking things off with an incredible track to town event where we drive our GT3 and GT4 machines straight into the heart of Cowes to meet the fans. It is a rare chance to see these race cars on public roads before the real action begins on the circuit!

This weekend was a true rollercoaster of emotions, from technical setbacks to podium finishes. I take you behind the scenes of my preparation, including a debrief with my engineer and the struggle to get my seat position just right. We faced some serious drama in the second practice session with a stuck wheel that threatened to derail our progress, but the team worked hard to get us back on track.

You will see the intensity of qualifying and the frustration of race one, where a minor technicality cost us a massive lead. Despite the setbacks and a mid-race penalty, the speed was there. We eventually bounced back in race two to claim a P1 finish! It was all about playing the smart game and surviving until the end. Thank you for following along on this journey as we celebrate a successful start to the season and look ahead to the next round in Sydney!
