Ironically, Keanu did not perform that well when he made his own motorsport debut in the Toyota GR Cup North America amateur race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last October.
In a field of 33 racers, Reeves finished in 25th place and 24th place in two races after spinning out his Eagle Canyon Racing-prepared GR86 into the grass, but he did not crash.
‘Hi, I’m Keanu Reeves, I’m No. 92, the first [session] today was a blast,’ the Beirut-born Canadian said at the time.
It’s fun. Racing is fun…it’s fun. Everyone says it’s fun, and it’s fun.’
But in 2009, Keanu and his front-drive Scion tC coupé managed to win the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach, CA against other A-list drivers.
Speaking of which, other celebs who’ve felt the need for speed in real life have included Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Bana, Caitlyn Jenner, and the late great Paul Newman.
