In a 2013 interview published in the Northern Echo, Akabusi talked about his love of fast cars.
He told the publication: “I get racer moments from my boys, but actually I'm pretty calm.
“I like to drive, I drive 50,000 kilometers a year, most of it on the highway. I don't want to get myself into trouble, but I can get somewhere quickly.”
He also told the publication that when he was about 19 or 20, he was racing home from a nightclub in his Opel GTJ with two of his friends and drove it through a curved intersection and his car left the ground.
