I'm sure his friend was going the speed limit in the GT.

Too bad - seems like he was a nice guy, and a bit deeper than you'd think. F&F7 will come out in the spring - I wonder if this will kill the franchise. Though intensely cheesy, I've always liked the movies. Even if only to see an old Skyline on the bigscreen.

This is sad to hear and it was such a preventable accident. He seemed like one of the celebrities that kept themselves out of trouble and controversy for the most part. The driver of that Carrera had to have been going at insane speeds for it to basically fold up on itself like that and kill the 2 occupants inside, you think he'd have known better considering he's a race car driver and on a public road. Humans aren't infallible, too bad some learn the hard way.
