Maverick is Real - Tom "Cole Trickle" Cruise in a Red Bull F1

Cole TricklePete "Maverick" Mitchell
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.


After all these years, with all the craziness of Hollywood etc, Tom Cruise still owns the aviators/long hair/car & plane thing hands down.  Legend.
