Keanu Reeves is accelerating his journey in the world of professional motorsport.

The 60-year-old actor competed in the Toyota GR Cup over the weekend. Among 33 competitors, Reeves secured 25th position in Race 1 on Saturday and improved to 24th in Race 2 on Sunday.

Reeves raced in the No. 92 BRZRKR vehicle, a nod to his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere,” co-written with China Miéville. Released in July, the novel is a continuation of Reeves’ BRZRKR comic book series, which began in 2021.

During Saturday’s race, Reeves spun into the grass just past the halfway mark of the 45-minute event. Despite the mishap, he avoided any crashes and remained unharmed, rejoining the race shortly after.
