RIP Mate!

A great and sad loss for his family, for Scotland and the world of motorsport.

Thoughts are with his family!

This has actually brought tears to my eyes. Again like others, I think that he is the reason why Subaru are as well known as they are and he was a true great.

Gutted. RIP Colin, you will be missed.

A sad, sad loss.
However, it's a true testament to how great this community can be, that his memory will live on through our postings.

RIP

I sold the last of my Scoobys 2 years ago now so haven't posted or even viewed this site for almost that amount of time.

As soon as I heard this news I knew there was only one place to truelly understand the loss among people who feel the same way.

I, like all of us am gutted! Such a massive loss, a guy I never knew or met but he always made my hair stand on end whenever he was either on TV or appearing at an event.

Such a shame.

Listy

Only just heard the terrible news....

I am now typing this with tears in my eyes. I am a huge rallying fan, and as a young boy went to the RAC every year with my Dad, mainly just to see Colin in his Subaru...

This year my dream came true and I bought my first Impreza, all thanks to the memories I have of Colin sideways through the Welsh forest.

Colin, you will be sadly missed by all, a true modern day legend.

Thoughts to the McRae family at this awful, awful time.

Having had the pleasure of sitting next to Colin in his Group A Cosworth I can only say WHAT A NICE GUY, a true AMBASSADOR for the sport.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, I do fear the worst.

My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Arron.

He was my all-time hero, and the reason I bought my scoob.

To say he will be sorely missed is an understatement, and I pray his son wasn't with him with all my heart.

It was a travesty that he wasn't still in WRC, and goes to prove how much that sport has contributed to it's own downfall.

RIP to an absolute legend.
