Colin McRae dies in a helicopter crash

[f1.redbaron]

The Times online is reporting that Colin McRae and his son have been killed in a helicopter accident today. Is this a joke?

EDIT: I've changed the name of the topic, 1. because it had been confirmed and 2. in order to have it sound more respectful.

Unfortunately it's true.

I live in the next county to Lanarkshire and this is the first I've heard of it.
I sincerely hope its not true, before Hamilton, Mcrae really was the biggest name in British motorsport.

I cant believe this. Mcrae is a hero to me. First Burns, then him. Rest in peace Colin.

I'm not very

familiar with rallying, but whenever I saw Colin McRae he seemed to radiate a kind of benevolent confidence. My condolences to those who have lost so much in the crash.
