By

Taking a break from the post-production work on Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise headed to the Willow Springs race track in southern California to live out some real-life action scenes.

Cruise took the Red Bull Formula 1 race car around the track and quickly had a good handling on the track. After tackling the winding race track, Cruise jumped into the Red Bull helicopter and performed flips and barrel rolls.

Check out the video to see Cruise take on F1 racing and a dangerous flip in a helicopter.
