You may know Keanu Reeves as the star of films like “Point Break,” “The Matrix,” and “John Wick,” but this weekend, he will be competing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The actor, musician, and racing enthusiast will be driving a GR86 in a Toyota Gazoo Racing North America GR Cup event.
According to Toyota’s website, the GR Cup “was designed to celebrate car culture and motorsports by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.” In other words, amateurs are able to compete on famous courses.
In order to streamline the event, all drivers will also operate the same model of car, unlike on other circuits where various manufacturers can display their latest tech. Learn more here.
Reeves will be driving the red and black #92, which will also be promoting his graphic novel, BRZRKR. He previously won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach celebrity race in 2009.
