Keanu doing side quests

Post image

Keanu Reeves made his professional auto racing debut on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Toyota GR Cup, part of the Indy 8 Hour sports car event. 🏁😮

The 60-year-old Hollywood star spun out into the grass at Turn 9 midway through the 45-minute race but continued driving without injury.

Despite qualifying 31st out of 35 cars, Reeves briefly ran as high as 21st and finished 25th, successfully avoiding a crash on the first lap.

Driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car, which promotes his graphic novel ‘The Book of Elsewhere,’ Reeves has another race on Sunday.

Inside a race car is one of the safest places to be.

Despite advances in race car safety, there is still a considerate amount of risk associated with the sport.

So what about all those explosions and crashes in the movies? Are you saying that didn't really happen? Why would they waste money on CGI when they could just blow up a bunch of race cars? I imagine all the dudes in Hollywood would really get a kick out of that, seeing a bunch of race cars blow up.
