Paris Hilton takes motor racing lessons

Paris Hilton has been taking motor racing lessons in the hope of being able to get away from paparazzi photographers trying to chase her.

Hilton visited a racing course while in Grand Prix city, Monaco, last year, and has been practicing by speeding along roads in LA at night.

The Simple Life star revealed, "I took lessons in Monaco with real racing cars. I love fast cars.

"I've driven on the streets at 140 miles an hour when no-one's around. I've never had an accident."
