I can't get over this his latest film hours is out in the uk soon and proves how good of an actor he is as it's a very emotional film.  He is a true petrol head through and through and I only watched his film 8 below again the other day with my son I am just shocked he is gone  :sad1: :sad1:

I don't know how they were driving, but if you see the car it doesn't resemble a car in any way. I can't see just hitting a telephone pole at 35mph would do that...

The fire is going to do a lot of damage however the car is basically ripped in half...

Must have trapped or left one/both unconscious and then caught fire.

A lot of super cars catch fire too easily, should have some sort of fire suppressant system on them...

Tragic news! However the car was being driven two people did not deserve to die!

The nerd in me can't help but think the car looks like a Mercedes SLS though?!?! EDIT: Carrera GT by the look of it!

Race In Peace dude!!  :sad1:

Devastated about this  :sad1:

Thoughts go out to his family and friends, especially his young daughter

Thoughts to the driver, does anyone know who this was? No news coverage has said.

Apparently it was his car that he let someone else drive.

Terrible tragedy, will be greatly missed.

Anyone know if they finished filming the latest FaF movie?

Real great guy, car enthusiast and actor. As well as lots of charity work. A guy many of us have grown up with through F&F.

A massive shame he has gone from this world.

Terrible news this and regardless of who he was two families have lost loved ones which is in any walk of life is a tragedy.

Two things I've noticed though, again as mentioned above yet another "supercar" crashes and bursts into flames, now i dont know if this is particularly speed related but it does seem to happen a lot and secondly that's not that big a tree and it appears to have almost cut the car in half which again for that type of vehicle is a little worrying.
