British actor Jude Law, the guts-throb star of countless Hollywood hits, swapped red carpets for chequered flags on a contemporary trip to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit – the futuristic home of the emirate’s annual Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With stunned fans snapping the Cold Mountain, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Road to Perdition and Sherlock Holmes star on their cell phones, fearless Law buckled into an open-cockpit Yas Supersport SST – a mini version of Le Mans endurance vehicles – for thrill-a-minute ‘Hot Laps’ round the 5.5km track.
“Jude was stunned by the total experience – he was a natural racer,” said a Yas Marina Circuit insider. “He even said he was considering returning to Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix in November.”
