Keanu Reeves Debuts In Professional Auto Racing, Sends His Car Swerving Off The Track In A Rough Start

Keanu Reeves, the fan-favorite action hero, is expanding his horizons to further win his fans’ hearts. Known for dodging bullets in ‘The Matrix‘ and fighting off villains in ‘John Wick‘, Reeves made a dashing debut in one of the most widely loved sports across the world.

On Saturday, he was seen struggling to keep his car under control at one of the world’s most iconic racetracks. The 60-year-old actor took part in a motor race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Let’s just say it was no smooth ride for his debut, but he emerged victorious. Here’s all about the actor’s new venture.

Keanu Reeves made his debut at one of the biggest races, the Toyota GR Cup Series, as part of a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday. Though the enthusiasm especially among his fans was quite high in the beginning, the ride was initially not smooth. On the ninth lap, Reeves lost his grip on his Toyota around a corner and it shot off onto the grass.

In a near-miss moment, with Neo probably flinching in solidarity, he just managed not to go headfirst with another car. However, he was untouched and finished 25th from 35, having started at 31 from the grid.

The incident occurred at the midpoint of a 45-minute race, but Reeves battled back, leaping back into his No. 92 BRZRKR car — a nod to his graphic novel ‘The Book of Elsewhere, which debuted in July.

Though it was the first time Keanu Reeves entered a professional racing scenario, his love for the sport runs deep. This wasn’t Reeves’ first experience behind the wheel in a racing scenario. He had previously won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach celebrity race in 2009.

The John Wick‘ actor is known for his passion for motorsport. Recently, he was spotted watching MotoGP Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland in Germany. His girlfriend of many years, Alexandra Grant, was also with him during the race. He also enjoyed a qualifying race by Formula 1 during the British Grand Prix in 2022, which he described as “thrilling.”

With another race set for Sunday, it’s clear Reeves is no stranger to a little high-octane speed — even if it comes with its own occasional lows.
