Keanu Reeves has always been crazy about motorcycles. He’s also one of the biggest actors in Hollywood today. Now he’s putting that passion for speed on screen in two big ways. V10 Entertainment is working with him on a MotoAmerica docuseries. And, as The Hollywood Reporter first revealed, Reeves is front and center in a new project on the birth of Cadillac’s Formula 1 team. Both projects highlight Reeves’ mix of Hollywood clout and lifelong love of motorsports.

The MotoAmerica project pairs Reeves and his ARCH Motorcycle Company with V10, which just signed a major global distribution deal with the racing series. Their docuseries will follow ARCH as it dives into the 2025 Super Hooligan National Championship. It’s due out in early 2026, promising raw, behind-the-scenes access.

For V10, it’s more than just a cool show. They’re also stepping in as MotoAmerica’s first outside distributor, helping to push American road racing to audiences all over the world. The timing couldn’t be better—fan interest is growing, live events are drawing bigger crowds, and streaming views keep climbing.

Cadillac F1 gets the Hollywood treatment

General Motors GM-Cadillac F1 race car concept.
Then there’s Formula 1. Reeves is teaming with North One, part of All3Media, to cover the Cadillac F1 team as it builds from scratch for a 2026 debut in Melbourne. He’s not just narrating—he’s hosting and executive producing, fresh off his Emmy-winning F1 series Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story.

This new project promises to capture all the drama of launching an American team into a sport usually ruled by European powerhouses. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, and it shows Reeves is doubling down on motorsport storytelling. Whether it’s motorcycles or F1 cars, Reeves is finding ways to merge his star power with his love of racing—and fans are along for the ride.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top

Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas

Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.

Charles Leclerc emerges victorious as British Grand Prix ends in controversy

It's Charles Leclerc's first win in almost two years

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton

Charles Leclerc earned his first victory in almost two years for Ferrari. Unfortunately for him, all the chatter around the British Grand Prix will be about its controversial ending that resulted in the 175,000-strong crowd at Silverstone booing after they were denied a dramatic finish.

The record crowd at Silverstone was in for a thriller from the start, with Leclerc staking claim to the lead, followed by Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton behind him. 19-year-old phenom Kimi Antonelli didn't need long to take over Hamilton. And it seemed like Antonelli was positioning himself for a stunning sixth Formula 1 victory, taking the lead after Leclerc made a pit stop.
