In both races, Reeves was driving the No. 92 BRZRKR car. The car’s name is in reference to The Book of Elsewhere, the graphic novel Reeves co-wrote with China Miéville.
Reeves is a long-time fan of racing. In 2009, the Speed actor won Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix’s celebrity racing event. Then, in 2022, Reeves and girlfriend Alexandra Grant attended the Formula 1 British Grand Prix.
At the time, Reeves, who hosted and produced a docuseries about the 2009 Formula 1 World Championship, said the event was “thrilling.”
