**London, England -** Brad Pitt, fresh off the success of his Formula 1 movie dominating box office charts worldwide, may be trading his fictional racer’s helmet for the real thing once again. McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown has confirmed that Pitt has a standing offer to drive with the team and chase his goal of hitting 200 mph on the track.

Pitt, who drove an F1 car with McLaren at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin last month, after practicing in modified F2 cars for the movie, has been vocal about his newfound passion for racing. At the New York premiere of his film, the actor expressed disappointment at falling just short of the 200 mph mark, stating, “I want to go back. I want to hit 200.”

Brown appears eager to help Pitt achieve that goal. “He did a great job; he can drive a race car,” Brown said at a recent McLaren fan event in London. “I’ve traded notes with him, it was the time of his life. I feel like he’s a racer now, so anytime he wants to come out and play he’s more than welcome to. And that’s a standing offer.”

When questioned if he thought Pitt would accept, Brown sounded confident: “I wouldn’t be surprised looking at the level of enthusiasm that he had. I sent him his data, he wanted to understand and learn. So yeah, I bet he will.”

Brown even suggested Pitt’s racing ambitions might extend beyond just a thrill ride. “I wouldn’t be surprised if one day you saw Brad Pitt racing some sort of sports car,” he stated, drawing parallels to actors like Paul Newman and Patrick Dempsey, who pursued professional racing careers alongside their acting.

“He is clearly in good physical shape. He had no physical limitations,” Brown added, emphasizing that Pitt, despite being 61, is more than capable of handling the demands of high-speed racing. Whether Pitt will take McLaren up on their offer remains to be seen, but the possibility of seeing the Hollywood star on the racetrack is certainly gaining traction.
