But there was a case where someone was convicted for murder because he was involved in an illegal car race and should have known better. Yes, illegal car races are a thing in Germany

Edit: This isn't the case I had in mind. I remember vague that the victim was an (elderly) man

Might be worth mentioning that "illegal car race" does not (necessarily) mean fast and the furious style street racing.

According to § 315d StGB (the German penal code), driving recklessly and violating traffic laws with the intention of reaching the highest speed does constitute an illegal race.
