What a shame. I really enjoyed watching him race. RIP.

Wow thats a shocker. He and Richard Burns were my favorite rally drivers.

It was a shock to me too. And I just saw McRae back in August during the X-Games.

Whenever I read about someone dying in a helicopter, I think they must have thought they were immortal.

By many, he is know as Colin "Crash" McRae. You can look up all the crashes he has had in the sport of rallying. He even crashed in this year's X-Games when he rolled his car.

Lanark, the place where he crashed is only 5 mins from me.

The weather closed in a bit yesterday afternoon, so that could have been a factor.
