Whether you're a rallying fan or not, this is pretty tragic
BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Tributes pour in for legend McRae
RIP Colin, Johnny and the 2 others on board. We've lost a rallying legend. I went and watched him many a time throwing his WRC cars around the Welsh forests and he had incredible car control and a flamboyant style. And after losing Richard Burns to a brain tumor not too long ago as well.
What a tragic accident. He was a Fantastic rally driver and amazing to watch. Britain has now (with Richard Burns having died also) lost two of our best motorsports drivers. Thoughts go to his wife and daughter for whom 'devasted' must be the understatement of the year.
Agree with Nessa..... it must be terrible to not only lose your husband but also your wee boy.... I feel so sorry for the families of those involved....
When I worked in Customs and Excise, I got to do a bit of offroading and tearing about on Highland roads... my boss at the time and I were both great rally fans and used to say that if we won the lottery we would pay a huge chunk of money to get a drive with Colin MacRae.....
It's just so very sad......
I had the privelege of seeing him drive at the Scottish Motorshow earlier this year. The man was a unique talent and an ambassedor for the sport he loved. RIP Colin.
