I had seen that on our news page, Jim posted an article there about it.

This is going to be felt for awhile in the racing world. I'm doubtful of them seeing it but nonetheless, sincere condolences out to the surviving members of his family.

Unhappy Re: Its just been confirmed
I heard something about this on the news er yesterday I think it was, I'm not sure.
I thought they'd ahd survived though. Did they die in the crash or later in hospital?

My condolences also go out to his family and friends.
He really was one of the greats of the Rally circuit wasn't he? He will definitely be missed.

There is a nice video of Colin in action on the news page here:
PS2 - Colin McRae Rally Star Dead

I feel so sad for his family and the family of the other young child on the helecopter.
