Roger killed Paul, and certainly by accident. He was also a very good driver, vastly better than Paul.

i don't think people get it, the Carrera GT is a very unstable car at speed (in fact most supercars are). They would have crashed whether it was on brand new or 9 year old tires IMO.

Not quite, it was too old a tyre that cried enough and blew from over spinning sending the P car headlong into the lamp post from a controlled drift.
Supercar tyres are different from lesser ones in that the compounds used do 'go over the cliff' quicker that normal tyres.

The car isn't so much unstable at speed, it's unstable and somewhat unpredictable around corners (even the Stig had problems knowing when the car would oversteer and just how far). But, in fact, not all supercars behave this way. The Carrera GT's lack of stability electronics and heavy rear make it the new widowmaker.

No one can know this.

The crash was most likely due to a combination of car design, old tires, and driver error, but it's impossible to know the percentage of each, and wouldn't bring them back anyway.
