How tragically sad.

That is so sad. Was only watching him on an old top gear with my sons yesterday and Alex was going search up his other videos. Great driver and so young. RIP Ken .

I really didn’t believe it when I first read it. That’s so incredibly sad.

OMG, shocked but at least he lived life to the full and you can't ask more than that - RIP

 

[midlifecrisis]

Never been into the drifting scene, just a waste of tyres in my mind, but sad to see him lose his life at such a young age, but as Bruce McLaren said, life isn't measured in years.

RIP

Terrible, terrible news

At least he died doing something he loved, Motorsports

I was watching a YouTube documentary his '22 season only a couple of days ago

bloody ell, thought at first it was some sort of sick fake news story, that is a real shocker, RIP Ken

I saw him at the Festival of Speed a few years ago and I always imagine I am drifting my golf like him on a certain bend of the South Circular. In my dreams, of course.

That’s a shocker. I not really into watching drifting vids but gymkhana was another level of skill, drama and high production values. He elevated the “sport”. RIP Ken.

Still can’t quite get my head round it. He’s probably one of the most influential people in the last 30 years. From fashion to extreme sports to cars to the way online content is presented and marketed, his influence extends far beyond most people’s realisation, there’s a chance that at some point today his influence will reach you and you won’t even know it.

Great point. He also engaged young folk with cars, something that few are doing successfully which is a massive shame for enthusiasts like us.

What a shame. RIP Ken. I very much enjoyed most of what he did. A true car fan too, there's a great video of him going to the pub in a RS200 with a fellow owner.
