Desuetude Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 RIP...he was an amazing driver...he and Burns were among my favorite 5 modern-era rally drivers, very sad to see this.

Everythingape Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Yeah.. it was sad news indeed.. Rumours say his 5 year old son was with him.. Let's hope it's not so. He was the one that got me interested in the WRC, great driver and a good man too from what I've heard.
robertk Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 He was one of the best.....and one of my favorites. What a tragedy!
Logan Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I've watched him compete in the New Zealand rally many times. He will be sadly missed.
section8 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Wow...just now hearing about this. A sad day for his family, the world and motorsports.
By-Tor Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Very sad. This guy definitely had his share of bad luck. Great driver.
KB Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 The man made his name and fortune in the dangerous sport of rally driving only to be killed by a helicopter, there's shades of Steve Irwin in that. R.I.P. Ken
Pugwash Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 The man had talent and will be missed.
azerbyjam Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I was out with friends and only breifly caught 'McRae.. something, something' on a Sky News bulletin and was so sad when I caught the full story. What a terrible end and some reports are saying his son was onboard I was lucky enough to see him driving at this years Goodwood Festival of Speed. Awesome video Pug and a great way to remember a driving legend! I found this tribute vid on youtube, which shows most of the cars Colin drove in his career... remember him like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA5-yUx9wfM edit - I couldn't add the video like Pug?

its_urabus Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) I was just playing his latest game for the ps3 this morning. This a terrible event for the rally world... Colin Mcrea Site Edited September 16, 2007 by its_urabus
Johnkaz Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 A tragic loss. He left a wife and child.
Pugwash Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 I've just found out that he took off from within 3 miles of where I live. I didn't even know he was a neighbour.
