Additonal Info:
In a tragic accident today, Colin McRae, world famous rally racer, beloved husband, and loving father of two, has died, along with three others, including his son, a close friend, and one other child.
The accident occurred while Colin McRae was piloting his helicopter in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into flames just after 4pm. There is no official statement yet as to the reason for the crash, as McRae is said to be an excellent pilot, and the weather not being too harsh.
Colin leaves behind his wife, who had formerly been his co-driver earlier on in his career, his daughter, and a legacy. McRae became Britain's first World Rally champion in 1995. He was one of the country's most successful sportsmen, achieving 25 wins in World Rally events and 42 podium places.
McRae became so well known that he has been the basis for several racing games, including the most recent, Dirt, which is out on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is up in the air at this point what his death will do to the series. This early on though, we encourage all of our readers to keep his family on their thoughts as they struggle through this terrible loss.

Makes you think...
could be anyone....anytime
Very sad, but I still think it's alittle weird to post this here. Also hundreds of sudden deaths happen everyday.
RIP, Colin. I hope you will become a part of Jehova's coming new world.
Jesus Christ! I don't watch rally very often, but I've been like a semi fan of Colin McRae almost my whole life. I've played Colin McRae games since way back. I feel very bad for his family.
It's like a really big name dies. For me, it feels as if someone like Ronaldo would die. Someone you never expected to bie (although he competes in a very dangerous sport).
RIP - A world class sportsman will be sadly missed
My condolence to everyone’s family for their lost..
psn id: gingo... a wife has lost a husband and son, Scotland has lost one of our best sportsmen and rally driving has lost a legend - R.I.P. Colin
Poor guy, i just bought his game too. He will be missed greatly.
Didn't another ace driver like Colin Mcrae die a few months ago? This is so sad my thoughts are with the families and friends involved.
too bad.. will be missed.
Shocking news... RIP Colin McRae
WOW, this is terrible news. He was young and still racing. Will be sadly missed.
very sad 2 hear the news i feel the same as kane
This is really a sad thing, Colin was a real stand up guy and down to earth.
I feel for his family.
Its kinda like the crocadile hunter, dying doing what they loved.
Very sad and upsetting news. My thoughts are with his family and friends... Colin will be missed but never forgotten... Hopefully CodeMasters will still carry on producing his games as a fitting tribute to Rallyings great legend....
thats sad news :( rip
I hope codemasters and subaru have something special planned for him,like when Dale Earnhardt died chevy made a special edition Monte Carlo SS
Man, air crashes seems to happen a lot recently! In my country (Denmark) there have just been at least 2 plane crashes (maybe more, i'm not so followed of it)!
Its about that time of year again, i swear there is a curse because almost a month and a year ago steve erwin and peter brock died in less than 7 days of each other, i'm calling voodoo
RIP Collin
:( This really sux. RIP player.
I hope they keep making games in his honor and also give some of the money to his family from game sales.

Bucko:
Another rally driver did die. A british driver in the name of Richard Burns who won a world championship with the Subaru team. Richard Burns died from a brain tumour Nov 2005.
2 British Rally drivers die outside of Rallying.
Its always more of a shock when its someone famous as you just can't imagine it ever happening to a celebrity. But there people like us and die like us, we know about there deaths becasue of their fame. Right now I still don't believe Colin McRae is dead. Like I said you don't ever think it will ever happen to them.
R.I.P. Damn good driver; rally racing isn't going to be the same anymore.
R.I.P. Colin McRae. Very sad to hear this story but everyone feels for you... Just read the other comments.
A sad, sad day... Both gaming- and motorsportfans are in grief and probably a lot of other people to. Don't really know what to say... R.I.P. Colin and Johnny McRae!
God bless them, their family and their friends...
a shame no networks in america are reported it except a game news site. even worse is how oj simpson being arrested here in vegas made news over things like 87 dead in a thailand crash.
r.i.p
ill buy the game just for that, rip
Goodbye Colin...you will be missed. R.I.P.
man that sucks
what a sad moment ... one of the greatest rally driver of all time !!
absolutely terrible. didnt see that coming at all.
R.I.P. - Colin Mcrae
Very sad indeed.
Okay seriously...who cares!! many thousands of other people die, but as soon as some stupid celebrity dies then "waaa" "nooo" "this is sad" .../puke !
Get a grip people!
Soraz, if u died, I would feel for your family as well. Him and his son... that is a tragedy. You will be remebered,Colin.
Sad shocking news. My thoughts go out to the family he's left behind. Great driver and sportsman indeed. Rest In Peace Colin.
RIP Colin Mcrea......
Im a Big Fan of His Series. R.I.P Colin. Our Thoughts & Prayers goes out to his Family
That's so sad, he was the best. I'm sure people won't stop buying the games =, but will actually buy more in memory of him. R.I.P Colin McRae
Wow at of all the dangers sports he does he dies in a simple helicopter! How sad.
R.I.P
