Nick Saban has the need for speed. Austin, Texas will be at the center of the sports world this weekend with two massive events happening over the course of three days.

The Texas Longhorns host the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. Meanwhile, all weekend long, not too far away at Circuit of the Americas, Formula 1 is in town for the United States Grand Prix.

So, a cross-over event of some kind seemed inevitable, especially with ESPN's College Gameday in town for the massive game between the Longhorns and Bulldogs, and we got it on Friday when Nick Saban took a look around the F1 paddock and even got a chance to do ride along for a hot lap around the track.

The College Gameday social media accounts shared a video of the legendary coach making his way into the paddock and then the garages and pitlane for a look around.
