A very sad day indeed. A couple lost their child, a daughter lost her father, and our scene lost one of its most influential people this side of the millennium.

For those interested: The driver of the Carrera GT was the owner of 'AE Performance', Walker was on their race team in an E92 M3 competing in the amateur Redline Time Attack series. They were leaving a charity event at the shop that Walker's organisation was holding for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan.

Also, don't know if everyone has seen it, but there's footage of a couple of guys in an E46 m3 driving past the crash while its still burning. It hits me in the gut knowing that there may someone still be alive in there.

To be honest I only ever liked the first one. The passion for cars was very evident and it was a genuine movie. They put lot of effort into it, showing the lives of true car\racing enthusiasts and we could relate to it.

Now they've become too commercialised.

They finished filming F&F 7 so it might be a bit of a sad watch when it comes out

yeah, they were leaving a charity event that was being held at the workshop owned by Roger Rodas (the driver), i'm pretty sure Paul had a stake in the place as well.

Tyrese at the crash site. Hit me pretty hard

TMZ reports that the crash occurred as the friends were on their way back from a 20 minute drive.

Prior to that drive, Rodas had personally taken the wheel of the vehicle after one of the former race car driver's employees at the upscale auto shop he owned was having issues backing the car up into the garage. The vehicle reportedly kept stalling for the employee.

As Rodas took control, Walker hopped in because he hadn't yet had a chance to take a spin in the impressive sports car.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
