Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are part of an investor group which is buying a 24 per cent equity stake in Formula 1 team Alpine.
The two Hollywood actors have already seen success since taking over Wrexham, with the Welsh club now back in the Football League after winning the National League title in April.
Now they are part of a major €200 million (£171m) deal as they join Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners in buying part of F1 team Alpine, who are based in Britain.
Alpine are currently fifth in this year’s F1 constructors’ championship.
Alpine’s chief executive Laurent Rossi said: ‘This association is an important step to enhance our performance at all levels.’
RedBird Capital Partners bought a $735m (£533m) stake in Fenway Sports Group, who own Liverpool and the Boston Red Sox baseball team, in 2021.
RedBird also purchased AC Milan in a €1.2 billion deal in August 2022 and also have a controlling stake in Toulouse.
