RIP.

I'm sure everyone has heard of the Codemasters games that were named after him.

Probably one of the greatest rally drivers of all time.

Oh Damn, does this mean the end of the games too? I guess they could make a "Halloween edition" if they were cruel.

Colin Mcrae was a rally driver, He also had a load of games in his name.

How come I never heard of this when he supposedly died in the same country as me probably within a few score miles, and I hear about it on a website based in Australia??

Shesh, whats the world coming to!!



RIP Colin Mcrae.

Damn. He was a great driver. His navigator was an a**hole though. I can imagine it now. "Full rotor take off, medium right turn 90, long straight, tight hairpin into non recoverable crash trajectory...."' sad.

No, no. I think it would have just been: "Take a nose dive to the ground, then squeel like a little girl and close your eyes".

"He won the world driver's title in 1995, was championship runner-up in 1996, 1997 and 2001, and third in 1998.

"He helped Subaru to the Manufacturers' title in 1995, 1996 and 1997, and Citroën in 2003. He was appointed an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II in 1996." - wikipedia.

Holy ... god. His 5 year old son died in the crash as well AND his son's 6 year old friend!

wow...that's so sad. when older people die, it's not that hard to get over...but when you see little kids dying, what are you supposed to say? "oh well, he/she lived a great 5 years?!" 5 years...that's barely the START of a life...

Holy Sh*t.

Geez, the greatest car drivers/racer (or whatever you call them) of all time are slowly dying off.

First Peter Brock, now Colin McRae.
