Former World Rally Championship champion, Colin McRae has died in a crash on his personal helicopter. He was a very well respected man within WRC and motorsport in general as well.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

So has it been confirmed then? The papers I read this morning were still unclear on who died.
It was confirmed funnily (funny strange, not funny ha-ha) enough midway through the Formula One race I'm watching right now. Martin Brundle tragically said so.
Bloody hell, that's weird as owt. Shows how much attention I pay really.
Aye, I saw this on the beeb last night before I went to bed, but it was still unconfirmed at the time.
A sad day for racing videogame endorsements. :(
I
Yup, a sad, sad day.....I am sure the creators of his game will pay their respects....
I'd laugh if the creators of that game released another Colin McRae game under his name.
To honor him or somethin?Quote:

Now that would be a little awkwardQuote:

RIP Colin. His son died with him in the crash. Awful.
I feel sorry for him and his family but I'm not going to mourn, anyone who died wouldnt want family and friends to feel sad.
I'm quite willing to make fun of things like this, as evidenced by my earlier post in the thread, but such tasteless, wilful, and worst of all cackhanded attempts at humor are just offensive and pointless.Quote:
