O M G !!
I've just learned this on here. :confused:
Had to check it for myself.... I did not believe it.
My thoughts go out to the Mcrae family, and the family of the other yet unidentified passengers in the helicopter.
Another British rally hero dies well before his time.

Yes indeed a terrible time for the McRae family and the other families involved. British rallying has lost another hero.

I am personal friends with Derek Ringer who was Colins co driver for many years, and have met Colin once, i have to say he was a great guy. Amazingly friendly, and a highly skilled driver. He did a lot for Scottish sports and British Rallying.
I hope he and his son are resting in peace now.

I believe it's twice the sorrow for the McRae family as Colin's five year old son was also in the accident.
I can't imagine how the family must be fellings.
