Paul Walker’s daughter, Meadow Walker, has just been rewarded 10.1 million dollars in a settlement for her father’s death. On the heels of the settlement, comes previously lost footage of Paul Walker.

According to Hollywood Life a video from GT-R performance shop, Mine’s Motor Sport has been posted on YouTube. The video has Paul Walker visiting the shop. Mine’s Motor Sport is world renowned and located in Japan.

In the video, Paul is seen test-driving a modified R35 GT-R, the passion he expresses is enough to bring tears to viewers’ eyes. Paul Walker has always been known to be a lover of motor sports and it really shines through in this video.

The proceeds that are made from this video will be donated to the Paul Walker Foundation charity. The footage of Paul taking the 600-horsepower, all-wheel-drive for a spin was said to be discovered by GTChannel while they were moving offices.

“We share this as a tribute to Paul’s passion for cars, good humor, and a reminder of the gravity of such a loss. All proceeds from this video will be donated to the Paul Walker Foundation, a charity launched by Paul’s daughter as a tribute to his enduring legacy.’

In 2014, Paul Walker was a passenger in a car being driven by Roger Rodas. Reports state that the car went out of control and this lead to a fatal crash for both occupants of the car. In the court hearing for the settlement on Paul Walker’s life, Roger was found “partly to blame for the fatal accident.”

Meadow Walker should be receiving $7 million from the settlement, while her attorney Jeff Milam is believed to have earned $3 million. Meadow Walker is still not happy with the amount that was handed down in the settlement, as she believes her father’s earning power would have been much greater if his life was not cut short.

According to TMZ, Meadow states that Paul Walker could have made anywhere between $30 – $80 million if his life was not cut short. This was supported by legal documents that were a part of the court case for his wrongful death. Universal executives had already committed to three additional Fast and Furious films. Meadow believes that those movies, along with other projects, would have contributed greatly to his bank account.

Paul Walker’s potential earnings played a huge part in the court case against Roger Rodas. Roger’s estate will be paying over the 10.1 million. Court documents have also indicated that Meadow and her mother can use $2 million of the settlement to purchase a new house.

“The amount paid by the estate of Roger Rodas into a trust for Meadow Walker only covers a fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not tragically been cut short. Through his estate, Mr. Rodas, the driver of the car, took partial responsibility for the crash.”

There may be more money coming Meadow’s way depending on the outcome of their lawsuit against Porsche. It is stated that the Porsche Carrera GT that Paul Walker was driving in with Roger Rodas was defective. Roger’s widow did take Porsche to court but did not have a successful outcome. Meadow’s case has not yet been finalized and she has every intention to push through to seek justice for her father.
