Can I just say, if the confirmation becomes what seems to be the inevitable.....

RIP Colin McRae...........a fantastic driver and one who always hung it out, wherever and whatever he was in.

Nasty business... I've refrained from making comment on this frown

It's quite shocking that three of Subaru's most notable WRC drivers from the last decade have now passed on.

- Richard Burns
- Colin McRae
- Possum Bourne

It's a sad, sad day indeed frown

Can anyone remember him at the X Games, when he rolled that Impreza, and as soon as it stopped he sped off again, not a moments hesitation? The man was a legend. Tragic, terrible news, and his five year old son as well? Awful. RIP Colin........you will be very much missed.......

Just read that Dave Richards, boss of Prodrive and manager of the Suburu team when Colin won has walked away from a helicpter crash on the way back from the Belgian Grand prix today. He came down minutes from an airfield in Essex. Coming 24 hours after Colins fatal accident, that is really, really spooky!!!
