Sir Colin McRae, one of rally racing's greatest drivers ever, just died when his helicopter exploded. This is one of his races, where he crashes but is so quick that he still wins silver.

I heard that he was the pilot when he crashed the chopper. Apparently there was also his son and two family friends.

More info can be found at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/6997241.stm and there are related links to other stories as well.

He'll no doubt be missed, thats for sure.

yeah i am not normally sentimental, but was upset about this.

a friend quoted him as saying "you don't mess about in a chopper" and he is certainly not a lunatic, so i would discount the "foolhardy" angle, although it is dangerous in a helicopter anyway.

not good news. best to just watch the old clips and smile.
