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.

    • Is the A/C compressor supposed to keep kicking in and the revs go up every so often as a result? (for a r34 gtt) Mine turns on roughly every 15-20 seconds if I remember correctly. I know on my other car it doesn't seem to do that but different car I guess. I've had my car re-gassed and it still blows ice cold air after well over a year but have always had this happening.
    • Do you have a recording of what it sounded like at startup? Just curious to know what it sounds like.
    • Yep mine is more or less the exact same as yours.
    • Hi Tao, It seems that turbine fragments entering the engine is more of a thing with the twins. The theory is that because there is much more of a straight shot from the turbine housing directly at exhaust ports, they seem to cop it where the single turbo cars don't do it so often. It is definitely something that we hear about on GTRs far far more often than the others.
    • How slightly is slightly? I wonder if we have different thoughts on what slightly turning left means. I just tried this out and on mine you can turn the wheel somewhere between 45 to definitely less than 90 degrees before it cancels. Though I have to admit it feels much slighter in my memory than it is in reality. See dramatic reenactment below. VID_20250126_143110.mp4
