Colin Mcrae Confimed Dead:(

Sadly its been confirmed Colin has been killed in the crash,a sad day for all. my thoughts are with the families concerned.
 
RIP Colin, a truely sad loss along wiht his son and others, so very tragic.
 
A dark day in rallying :( I woke up thinking it was all just some evil dream. Can't believe this has happened..and nearly two years to the day that Beef was killed too. My thoughts go to his wife Alison and his family and friends
RIP Colin,Johnny,Ben Porcelli and Graeme Duncan
:crying:
 
I was shocked when I heard about this when I got to work this morning. I was never fortunate enough to have seen Colin at full tilt in a live rally stage. I was fortunate, however, to have seen him at Goowood several times and at Rockingham a few years back in an ASCAR race, powersliding out of the bends on the banking, pure class. As Valentino Rossi's sign said at the Moto GP today, Colin we miss you.
Thoughts and Prayers to all family and friends of those involved.
 
I found this on another forum and thought it was brilliant:

Warning may bring a tear to your eye.

Up at five and really so keen,
To see the bond of man and machine

3 hours to drive to get to the start
We all have a laugh and so full of heart

We know it is early, the weather is damp
But we need to see cars come off the ramp

Through fog and rain we push on with style
We know the main man is due in a while

Then comes a whistle, the marshal says time
A car is now coming through forests of pine

Its howl is so frightening, like a banshee on heat
There is no escape, as we shuffle our feet

And suddenly now its why we are here
McRae over crest of course in top gear!

Its been worth the wait, the weather, the toil,
To see the brave Scot here on home soil

But now there is silence, and its deafening too
Cos you and the wee man have bid us adieu.

So rest in peace Colin you and your lad
You gave us your best, John be proud of your dad.

The memories you left us are all just the best
You shone like a star, just simply the best.

Colin you"re a mate and thats what we all thought
It made you our hero and that just cant be bought.

Now your in heaven with your boy and at rest
But you left us the true meaning of FLAT OVER CREST!.
