Tom Cruise test drives Red Bull Racing F1 car

Days of Thunder, 2011 Edition

Red Bull invited Tom Cruise to take a break from production of his new movie, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, to pilot the Red Bull Racing F1 car through Southern California's 2.5-mile (4km) Willow Springs circuit.
 
He reached a top speed of 181 mph (291 km/h) - just 4 mph off the top speed of his instructor and 13-time Grand Prix winner, David Coulthard.

Very cool vid, he actually did good. I was expecting a lot worse driving

That was impressive. If you all remember, there was a TG segment a few years ago where Hammond drove a Renault F1 car and he could barely get I around the track. Cruise seemed to be driving the car quite well. What an amazing experience.

Can't believe how well he drove it. I knew he was mildly interested in cars but didn't realize he actually had it in him to manage an F1 car like that.
