Colin McRae - RIP

Really sad to hear today that Colin McRae has died along with his young son and 2 others in a helicopter crash. The guy was an animal behind the wheel - known for some massive crashes that come with his all out attack driving style. He always came over as a gent and a down to earth nice guy - he was 39 years old.
His death comes only a few years after that of one of his greatest competitors Richard Burns who also died far too young.

Rip - a true motorsport hero and risk taker.

Indeed, a very sad loss, nice to see Valentino Rossi dedicating his win in the Moto GP yesterday to Colin.
