Default R.I.P. Colin McRae

My personal favorite WRC driver, and the favorite of many many others.
He will be missed.

This SUCKS!! First Richard Burns (at waayyy too young an age) to cancer, and now Colin (and KIDS) to an F'in stupid eggbeater crash.
He was not only a supremely talented driver, but a pretty cool human being as well (and I cannot even think about those poor kids perishing). He will be deeply missed.

Wow, I havent watched WRC in a while, but man I am a fan of his. What a class guy. Horrible news. He was one of those upstanding ambassador guys to the sport like Payne Stewart was to golf. R.I.P. Colin and sons.
