RIP Colin McRae, 1968-2007
By Evan

A man noted for his fearless attacks in Rally stages all around the globe passed away this weekend in an unfortunate helicopter crash only 200 yards away from his 17th century home in Scotland. McRae was piloting his personal helicopter with his 5-year old son and two passengers; no word yet on the cause of the crash. He will be sadly missed by the rally and motorsports community. McCrae achieved 25 wins in the WRC with 42 podium finishes, including the title of World Rally Champion in 1995 and also competed in the US X-Games rally event. McRae also developed his own rally-class vehicle, the R4, and recently announced his own design for a Dakar racer, the Enduro. Fans and admirers can leave their condolences for the McRae family by clicking on the picture below.

Pilot and passengers all passed away. His passengers were Ben Porcelli (6), Colin’s son Johnny’s childhood friend, and Graeme Duncan (37), Colin’s family friend.
