For those of you who like Rally Driving this will be a sad loss for you, even if you're not a supporter.


LONDON (AFP) â?? British rally driver Colin McRae and his five-year-old son were among four people killed in a helicopter crash this weekend in Scotland, police said Sunday. Tributes poured in from the sporting and political arenas in honour of McRae, who in 1995 was the first Briton to win the world rally championship.
Scottish police said the 39-year-old driver, who was a licensed pilot, his son Johnny and two family friends including a six-year-old boy were killed in the crash in the grounds of McRae's home in Lanark on Saturday.
"We believe that the group were just returning from a visit to the nearby village of Quarter around 1605 (1505 GMT) hours yesterday, when it appears that the helicopter got into difficulty and crashed within the grounds of Mr McRae's family home," Chief Superintendent Tim Love of Lanarkshire police said in the statement.

This is terrible, he was amazing. His son died with him as well, it makes me really, really sad.

On a less depressing note, Rally is fantastic! more Americans need to start getting into it. The WRC is some of the best action you can watch!
