Keanu Reeves, the well-known action star and car enthusiast, has announced he will make a guest appearance in the GR Cup at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend.
The event, part of the Indianapolis 8 Hour, features two qualifying sessions and two races over three days, according to TopGear.com.
Reeves will drive a Toyota GR 86 as one of four newcomers on the 34-car grid.
Although he hasn’t raced in years, Reeves has been seen frequently at Formula 1 and MotoGP events. He is also a motorcycle aficionado, owning a substantial collection and co-founding his own brand.
Last year, he hosted the Disney+ docu-series Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, and he performed all his own driving stunts in John Wick 4.
This announcement has sparked ideas for future films, like a fifth John Wick installment where the character relies solely on his old racecar for revenge, or a Point Break sequel featuring bank robbers competing in an amateur GT series between heists.
A Matrix spin-off could even see Neo trying to escape his virtual imprisonment in a racing simulator.
Given his passion for cars and racing, it seems like the perfect time for Keanu to star in a dedicated racing movie.
