on the news now they are saying there was a helicopter crash in Scotland today. The helicopter was registered to Colin Mcrae.

They are not saying he was killed yet but it looks like it was him.

I realy hope it's not him.

Sad news :( He had an awesome talent. They just confirmed on the news that it was him, his 5yo son, his son's 6yo friend and an adult friend of Colin's. Terrible.

The news today is so depressing :(

A minutes silence at the Rally Day at Castle Coombe. Nice to see his WRC cars there too.
Sad loss of a true rallying legend - rest in peace mate and know you've inspired many many drivers of all levels, world wide.
