Harry Potter star Rupert Grint gave the starting flag a wave for the race car drivers at RAF Marham and the Richard Burns Memorial Rally in Norfolk England. He was there with his family to support one of the drivers in particular, his younger brother James, as well as be the official starter for the rally.

On his brother’s turn at the wheel: “It’s quite a new thing for him. He is just getting started, but he has got a natural ability. I wouldn’t have a go. The cars go really fast so it’s not something I am brave enough to do. I trust his ability though. So far he hasn’t had any accidents.”

Sounds like a nice weekend for Rupert and his family.
