I just saw this and I am shocked. I have enjoyed his games since I was a kid.

Very sad, first Stevie Ray Vaughan and now Colin McRae. As an avid WRC fan and the driver of a Subaru (not a WRX though), he will be missed and very sad to hear that he also lost his 5 year old son and some friends :frowning:

It's interesting who end up being some of the biggest stars that you identify with a sport. David Beckham, Peyton Manning, Dale Earnhardt Jr haven't exactly been the most accomplished yet to joe six pack they are biggest and best. I'm a big motorsports fan (MotoGP, F1, NHRA) but I never really kept up with WRC but I do know of Loeb and Makinen yet if I think World Rally I think McRae. And I'm sure the video game has a lot to do with that.
