Collin Mcrae died

RIP to one of the worlds best Rally drivers ever. He died in a crash with his own helicopter. Linky.
Most of you will remember him as the name in front of the well known rally games series, I will remember him like this:

Racing to the max and never fearing death he finally met now and brushed off his shoulder in tons of crashes.
My condolences to his wife and 9 year old daughter, unfortunately they also lost her 5 year old son/brother in the crash

It is a damn shame when anyone dies but, it is a bigger loss when a gaming icon dies. Rest in peace Colin, rest in peace!

Happens, but a BIG loss it is.

Rest In Peace Colin!

I bet he didn't envisage dying in a helicopter that's for sure.

Hell no, the guy escaped death in his rally car so often, it's almost surreal the guy went down in a helicopter crash.

Linky to one of his worst crashes.

I also remember the fellow driving straight into a cliff and falling down several hunderds of meters but couldn't find any footage of that, perhaps that wasn't him or I just didn't look properly
