Breaking news: Colin McRae

Damn, that's too bad for the racing community, wasn't he in the process of building his own car as well?

 

He was my hero for years in the 90s. He was still the best guy to watch in rallying when he was at the limit.

This #$%#ing blows!

 

I'm sorry, but I LOL'd when mclaren said he was going to buy a video game as a tribute to Colin McRae.

 

It unfortunately sounds pretty certain, which really sucks because I loved watching Colin race

 

In my mind, Colin and Burns will always be remembered for Wales 2001.

Tommi and Colin should have rightfully won the championship that year, but both of them made a rookie mistake at the last minute which took them out of contention. That handed the title to Richard, who definitely didn't deserve it.

Here was Colin's accident--a crash that was caused by a misunderstood pace note. Nicky told him "Five right don't cut into five left cut" but Colin got the cuts backwards and he clipped a post at the apex of the right-hander.

 

I wouldn't want to create a double-standard where I do it for Richard but not for Colin.

Besides, his estate (eg, children) will be collecting the royalty money.

 

Maybe you can just give him a ride in your AMG you liar

 

A couple of tribute videos...

 

TreVoR = TmaVriR?

 

THey're all british assholes

 

But do they all drive AMGs?

 

He was a brownie

 

Hey, TreVoR, can you post the full-sized version of your avatar?

 

He lived in Cali.

 

Just another stranger to me. Shitty way to die though.

I really hope the R4 doesn't get cancelled because of this.

 

learned the hardway you can't rally a helicopter. or helicopters can't handle.
