Patrick appears in the long-running project – first discussed in 2000 – as Italian race car driver Piero Taruffi, who died in 1988 at the age of 81.
His suit consisted of an anthracite button-up sweater vest, which he wore over a cream-colored shirt.
Patrick was spotted with platinum blonde hair in early September after bleaching it, but he appeared to have bleached it further for an all-white haircut that matched the racer.
The film and TV star was seen during a rest period as he walked past a black Range Rover and climbed into the back seat of a black sedan.

Jack, whose chiseled jaw was a dead bell for racer Peter Collins, was seen at the wheel of a gorgeous 1957 red 335 S Spider Scaglietti (or a copy of the original).
The vehicle that Time Dubbed “the most expensive car ever sold at auction,” only four of the 1957 model were made, making it incredibly rare and desirable for collectors.
One of those four cars was sold at auction in 2016 for about $36 million.
The dating of the car indicates that the scene is set shortly before Collins’ untimely death from a crash during the 1958 German Grand Prix.
