madmatt:
Glad someone could respond to that because I was lost for words. Its just been confirmed his 5 year old son was on board too.
Xtremeteam:
He was one of the few drivers out there who could:
A throw a car about like a wet pair o tracky bottoms,
B be one o the nicest guys you could meet
C be seen anywhere & still have time to sign autographs & chat to his fans
Him & his brother & father were the last o the true what i would say real drivers in motorsport,
Have to say but now we have lost both burns & mcrae there aint any really british drivers now that had the capability of either winning or giving it the full 110% & <edit> it off the road
Eeyore:
Colin McRae. 1968 - 2007
He was dynamic, exciting and always on the edge. He was looking forward to continueing his career in marathon rallies and raids. His outstanding performance in the recent Baja events for BMW stood as a testament to his willingness to compete at the highest levels.
I will remember with fondest the footage of Colin kicking back and having a beer with Richard Burns - fierce competitors on track, best friends off it.
The motorsport world has lost a great ambassador. Many folk have lost a hero. A family has lost a son, a brother, a husband and a father.
Colin McRae RIP
