I'm still coming to terms with Richard Burns' death, and now this... It's utterly devastating, and so unexpected which is what makes it even more sad
A true great of motorsport, who will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. |

When I first heard the news this morning I was devastated. We have lost another Hero and Legend. It's two years tomorrow since we lost Michael, then we lost Richard now Colin. I'm sure they are now together sharing a beer, and planning a celestial rally championship.
I can never be described as being a fanatical Colin fan, but I did enjoy seeing him drive. He was always spectacular and always entertaining for the fans. In his early days he had a reputation for crashing, but his mentor Dave Richards said he did not mind that. He said it showed commitment, and that if a young rally driver doesn't have a few crashes he's not trying hard enough. I'll never forget the '95 RAC Rally. The final round of the World Rally Championship. Colin and Carlos neck-a-neck 70 points each. Under awesome pressure Colin didn't crack. Every time we saw him he was attacking the stages with full commitment, displaying the amazing skills that have made him a hero to so many. I'm proud to say I was at Chester Racecourse when Colin came over the finish ramp and claimed the world title. The atmosphere and emotion was unbelievable. It's a moment I will never forget. My thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of all those involved in the accident. RIP Colin McRae Legend & Hero |

Richard Burns' death left a huge void in the rallying world. Colin McRae's death will leave a vacuum. Two of the sport's greatest ambassadors, cut down in their primes, only two years apart. This is devastating news for any rally fan. May he, his son, and the others on board rest in peace.

I have been at Silverstone all weekend and I only heard the tragic news on the radio this morning, this absolute tragedy it's just over 12 hours since I heard and I still can't believe the news. The flags on BRDC Club house flow at half mast today.
RIP Colin |

It is unreal. I just dont know what to say, when it was confirmed during the Grand Prix, nobody said anything. Im completely shocked. He was a living legend, and now he will be remembered forever.
RIP Colin |
