If I remember rightly he was about to go to abu dhabi to film a few scenes for the next one.

Yeah filming had already begun so I wonder how much of the movie they have got through

Damn a Carrera GT! You gotta go, go in style. This bloke will turn into a modern day James Dean you watch.

I wonder how much Gandalf they can do with it.

The definition of irony, go to feel for his family though.

It is a damn shame. The irony is annoying, it is even more so annoying that he was only a passenger. The worst outcome of any vehicle accident is when the person(s) not in control suffer the consequences.

What he said.

200kph on the streets at a charity event isn't cool.

[petey]

You are assuming he wasn't telling him to slow down.

This also has nothing to do with street racing, it's a charity event. It was however completely stupid indeed.

In the Video of him going to Japan to see the Mines performance cars he said he has gone around 185MPH on the Freeway.

Here is the video, 3m05s. video is not wanting to time code.

Who??? Seriously I only watched the 1st F&TF & thought it was crap so never bothered with the rest...

Another stupid loss in what is no more than a moving coffin if that's how you want to use any vehicle, I do feel for his family & daughter.
I hope they use his legacy to serve for greater road safety...

I'm another that didn't know him personally.

Woodsy, how'd they know the speed?

Bingo!

[w00dsy]

Why should anyone have any sympathy for the dickhead that drove someone into a tree and killed them?

It was estimated speed from the people that were there. If you've seen the wreck you'll realize they weren't going 100kph. There was almost nothing left of it.

[wabbit]

Ahh k, gotcha.

[wobblysauce]

That and people are only focusing on one person.

Roger Rodas was the driver, he also owned a performance and race prep shop called AE Performance, did quite a bit of racing work, and was also one of America's top wealth management advisors and portfolio managers.

I reckon his family will be suffering just as much. If not more knowing he was at the wheel.

[w00dsy]

More than likely, but I have zero sympathy for him. You won't see me joining the chorus of people saying RIP for a bloke I have never heard of. Either of them really.

[petey]

The biggest sufferer here is universal. Their best franchise up in smoke
