Lets hope they manage to find out what caused the accident. It'll be hard sice they couldn't even tell what kind of heli it was!

R.I.P - I hope his family are getting all the help they need.

Awful News

a sad, sad loss of life

first Richard burns, now this, although in different sercumstances entirely. even still, british motorpsort will feel this loss imensly

Valentino Rossi Today after his win in the portugeese MOTO grands prix said, "first i would like to dedicate this win to my idol, colin mcrae who was killed today, my heart goes out to his family, colin was my idol from a little boy and he inspired me greatly, he will be missed"

i echo all that has been said before...... he was an icon to so many, he helped many young drivers into motorsport and im sure his family are feeling his loss.

heartfelt sympathy to Brother Alister Mcrae and his wife and daughter allison and holly (just 9) and to all of his friends who will miss him soo much.

as will we.

RIP MR Colin "World champion" Mcrae

This is terrible news, I couldn't believe it when I heard this yesterday. His loss will be felt by so many, the man put Subaru on the map when it comes to rallying and an entire generation grew up playing his rally games.

I'm wearing my Subaru WRT T-shirt today as a mark of respect.

 

[Speedle]

OMG i cant believe i didn't hear about this thats tragic! and his 5 yr old boy too how terrible! make me realize my life isn't that bad when you hear such tragic things

a terrible loss for motorsport

just read the article hard not to cry reading that!

 

[Arnold]

It does make you think doesn't it. As Ems said to me yesterday, the good people always die young. A lesson to us all to enjoy every moment i think
