A bit of sad news today. Colin McRae, the British rally car driver who lent his name to a series of racing games by Codemasters, died yesterday in a helicopter crash near his home in Lanark, Scotland yesterday afternoon. McRae was Britain's first World Rally Champion in 1995 and has been confirmed by his manager to have been piloting the Squirrel helicopter that was carrying him and three other passengers. It is believed that one of the passengers was McRae's five year old son, Johnny who is also feared dead although this has not been confirmed as of yet. The identity of the other passengers is still unknown due to extensive fire damage.

What a shame. A great rally driver, probably the best of his time. His games were pretty damn fun too. Rest in peace and my heart goes out to friends and family of Colin.

I heard about that on the radio earlier its sad news indeed , Bad things always happen to good people i guess
 
That is very sad news, I used to hear about him all the time in the news when he was winning all those championships.

And to lose two young children (his son and his son's friend) as well, that is truly terrible.
 
Its crap, he was a great guy. Very talented, he was amazing at xgames
