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.

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.
