I find it hard to believe it. Colin is a real professional in rallying. I feel sad to hear this for sure.

R.I.P. Colin McRae

It´s people like Collin that "our" sport really needs. It´s a huge loss for anyone who has followed rallying in the past. I will dearly remeber him for his flat-out driving style. It is a pity that we didn´t have the possibility of seeing him in the wrc again, many with me I think would have wanted that.
My thoughts goes to his family and friends. Aftonbladet reports that Colin was accompanied in the heli by his five year old son...

I just saw the news. Terrible. I'm in shock. This is a sad day.

I had the privilege of seeing Colin many times in Jyväskylä, always spectacular and always fast. My best memory of Colin is from 93 or 94 from 1000 lakes. I was watching the cars as they passed Jämsänkoski after some SS and went to service. I didn't had the radio so I didn't know that Colid had crashed on the stage before the service and he was really late.

First I heard something, then the noice was unbearable. Then I saw the Subaru. At was coming something like 200 kph in public road and it was totally wrecked, from the rear! Apparently Colin had crashed to a fence, backwards! But still, even that the car was totalled and he was awfully late, he didn't gave up. He never did.

I addition to Finnish guys, Carlos and Sebastian, Colin was one of the drivers that I really respected. I never got his autograph when I was a kid and I was really unhappy about it. Now I never will get it.

Rest in Peace Colin. You'll be missed.

Colins Crest has suddenly got a new symbolic value...
Read that his first appearence in world rallying was in the swedish rally in 1987 in a Vauxhall Nova.

Seeing Colin in action for the first time live in the 1000 Lakes 15 years ago, I was convinced the "kid" got talent. Rolling the car into the Finnish woods not only once, twice but three times and every time getting it back on the road and finishing the event with the raisin-like of a car. I, among the other Finns, were sold.



We´ll miss you, Colin.

I get it cold and tears in the eyes, by this sad news.
Condolences to his family.
