Former world Rally champion Colin Mcrae from Lanarkshire was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday, what a Driver he was and like, Jim Clark gone far to soon.

further reports suggest his 5 year old son was with him at the time -terrible.

Our thoughts are with his family I will raise a glass tonight to you.

One of the true greats of the international rally scene. His loss and the loss of his son are tragic.

Our family holds them both in our hearts.

Such a shame.
He was a really nice and down to earth guy.
And his friend and his son's friend with them.
What a tragedy.

Not only a great rally driver, but a fellow clansman. Rest in peace.

That much could be debated. VERY intense competitor, didn't always make friends where ever he went... regardless, its a shame.

Wow. Some of the top drivers I grew up watching, having their lives snuffed out early. Richard Burns, now McRae.... those 2 had an intense rivalry for quite a while.

And both of them drove for Subaru as well. RIP, Colin McRae.
