Nothing in that clip indicates he was driving recklessly. They even end it by saying the cause is still unknown.

I remember seeing a Best Buy ad for it touting the “cinematic experience” of playing MW2 - and it truly felt like it, a real revolution in gaming. However, I really stopped playing big titles since then. Are there any good “woah” games that took it another step further?
Titanfall 2 is a really good one. Not something I expected to have such a strong emotional element. I didn't know Vince Zampella's name, but it is another project of his, so it seems fitting to recommend it here. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (the original, I haven't played the sequel) was crazy good. Gameplay-wise it's fine , but story wise it is one of the most emotionally intense games I have ever played. I recomme…
If you are even slightly interested in celtic and germanic mythology and modern psychology, go for it.
They started at Electronic Arts with MOH. They left EA and went to Activision. Under Infinity Ward they created MW2, which is maybe the only digestible COD game ever made. They got bored with ATVI by doing COD day and night. At the time the rumor was they wanted to make scifi games, but ATVI forbade them. So they formed Respawn and went back to EA. TitanFall 1-2 were just terrible games, and EA also botched the marke…
Titanfall 2 is a fantastic game with perhaps the best single player FPS campaign for fast FPS games, and a skill ceiling that's incredibly high in multiplayer which is still alive to this day. Did you mean to say "terrific" instead of terrible?

supercars from 1983 are very different than modern cars. they have traction control now and are much tamer.
I think this understates just how fast modern performance cars have gotten and how unsuitable they are for public roads. A Ferrari 296GTB sprints from 0-100mph in 4.7s. The 1983 Lamborghini Countach I had a wall poster of as a kid, took 12.1s (and a relatively leisurely 5.4s to get to 60mph). The Ferrari is pulling well over 1G longitudinally during this time, enough to induce tunnel vision in some people and warp yo…
The only equation that really matters here is KE=.5mv^2
The difference in danger between two arbitrary speeds is not linear. It is quadratic.
“has died” is one way of saying “crashed his Ferrari at a high rate of speed, killing his passenger as well as himself.”

Technically yes but on any given track day there can still be gravel, weeds, rubber, bits of material from car body kits/aero, and even various liquids that have leaked.
If you do hit gravel/oil, tracks at least have runoff areas or soft barriers, and no oncoming traffic or cliffs to worry about. Every track day I've attended required the cars to have been inspected for leaks and loose components. And they were quick to clean up any debris or oil. Not that tracking cars is the safest hobby, but if someone is gonna drive like that regardless its far safer at a track than on public roa…

I still rather drive (get driven) a modern tank like suv. Or truck/bus conversion. I see these young/hip people spend countless hours in the gym, spending 1000k+/mo on supplements etc to 'live forever' only to wrap themselves around a tree at a young age on some superbike or car.
"A passenger was ejected, and the driver died after being trapped in the burning vehicle"
I‘m in the habit of speeding, I think it’s closely tied to the mental stresses you push yourself into, in sedentary, intellectual work. Thankfully I no longer own a car/motorcycle, and have other physical outlets now, to better balance it all out. I’m only here now myself at 55 through luck.
A habit of speeding is created from a lack of consideration, it's an ignorant and dumb thing to do.
