If you're not sure whom I'm talking about, McRae was the 1995
World Rally Champion with Subaru.
He also drove for Ford and Citröen and in the Le Mans and
Paris-Dakar races, and helped develop the Colin McRae Rally video
game.
He is survived by his wife and daughter. May the legend rest in
peace.

The former rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed
and his five year-old son feared dead in a helicopter crash
yesterday afternoon. The aircraft came down in Jerviswood,
Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into
flames just after 4pm.
Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had
been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed
to be his son Johnny, another adult - said by locals to be a school
friend of McRae - and another child. McRae's wife Alison and their
daughter Hollie, 9, were not on board, friends said...
