Rally Legend Colin McRae Killed in Helicopter Crash


Acclaimed rally driver Colin McRae and his son were among four people killed in a helicopter crash near his home in Lanarkshire, Scotland on 15th September. Mr McRae, 39, his son Johnny, 5, his friend Ben Porcelli, 6, and family friend Graeme Duncan, 37, were all thought to be on board.

A keen pilot, McRae was the first Briton to win the World Rally Championship drivers' title in 1995 driving for Subaru and was a runner-up in 1996, 1997 and 2001. The son of five-times British rally champion Jimmy McRae, and brother of Alister, also former British rally champion, Colin gained a reputation for his maximum attack - even continuing after rolls.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed in this tragic accident.
