Tom Cruise recently accepted an invitation to test drive a Red Bull Racing F1 car in Southern California. I mean who would actually turn this down? If you do, you need your head checked! He had none other than David Coulthard as his instructor which was backed up with a 12 man crew for the day. Cruise managed to reach an astonishing 181mph, which by the way was only 4mph slower than DC could manage. He had fun with the 850hp monster at the Willow Springs race track and managed to squeeze in 24 laps during the day. Coulthard said:
“Tom’s the real deal. I was surprised that he picked it up so quickly and is such an accomplished driver. His recall was incredible considering how complicated driving an F1 car is. He’s a guy who really pushes the envelope in real life. This day was not green screened. He thoroughly impressed me.”
