Ah yes, heard about the tragic accident at Shoreham shortly after it happened at work. Hadn't heard about the helicopter crash though :(

With the helicopter crash, police etc. havn't identified the bodies yet, not until tomorrow. All they keep saying is, it happened near where Colin McRae lives, & he is a helicopter pilot, & regularly travels to & from his home by helicopter. Other than that, we'll just have to wait. I just hope it 'aint him, he's one of the best rally drivers the sport has seen. :(

I've said on a couple of the other messageboards I go on, that he was one of the few people in life that I admired, and one of the reasons I like motorsports as much as I do. A very talented driver in his pomp, and one who could have won a lot more than he actually did.

Colin McRae RIP.
