Actor Keanu Reeves has made his professional racing debut at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Toyota GR Cup.

The Matrix star, who was competing professionally for the first time, set pulses racing when he momentarily came off the track on the exit of turn nine, half-way through the 45-minute race, before continuing on.

Reeves peaked at 21st place during the race before finishing 25th out of 35. 

The star was partnered with Cody Jones of Dude Perfect YouTube fame. 

The Toyota GR Cup is a Toyota spec-racing series held ahead of the Indy 8 Hour event. 

Reeves has previously competed in a celebrity race, winning the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in 2009.
