Such a sad day for all car enthusiasts, he was one of the main reasons I got into the car scene and actually started liking cars and also working on them..

R.I.P. Paul Walker.

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.

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

[R1maniac]

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 havent finished fast 7, they were due to film key parts of pauls role this week after the thanksgiving break. Hopefully it can be completed because im sure it would make him happy

[GTR-N1]

He was on a charity run for Philippine victims of Hurricane Haiyan wasn't he?

[alex182]

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.
