Not again...I know im in the minority but I don't have any affinity to colon McRae at all,not a great driver merely a good one, a great driver would have won the championship more than once,colon threw his chance of multiple championships away by being out of control.
Driving apart he also killed himself,his child and most of another family by being an idiot in a helicopter he had no licence for.
Richard burns was a greater loss!

No doubt a fantastic talent but he trod the wrong side of the line once too many times that day.

Agree 100% !!!!
The word 'legend' is branded quite often for Colin, he certainly wasn't a legend in my opinion.

he's been branded that by fellow Rally Drivers past and present aswell as others from outside the sport, I aswell as may others label him as one of if not the best driver of his time, so that counts me out of the 20 year old wrx newbie that owns a playstation

but seriously if you think that fine, but personally i thought he was out of control and reckless, a good driver yes but not in control confirmed by the way he killed himself and others.
true legendary drivers are in control at all times and thats why they win multiple championships. i wonder how he would be remembered today if he hadnt been in a playstation game???

do you have an "if in doubt flat out" sticker next to your "dude i nearly had you" one

so Michael Schumacher is a 'good' driver but he is no legend because he had an accident outside of F1.?
Mcrae would be remembered for the on the edge flat out world champion that he was, nothing to do with a computer game.. ive seen him drive, watched him on tv.. personally ive never owned or played the computer game and I still remember him as will all of his thousands of fans out there

so by your standards anyone that has an accident away from their sport cant be classed as legendary because they were not in control at that given moment.

I just don't think the few achievements he had make him a 'god' or a legend. He won the world championship once and came runner up a couple of times, hardly legendary is it.
What Loeb has achieved demands legendary status but because he's still alive people don't start threads about him or have silly stickers on their C4's.
If Colin had survived that helicopter crash would you all be hailing him a legend then..... I think not.

yes I would, I don't hail him a legend just because he has gone, I agree, what happened in the crash and the events leading upto it don't warrant any praise what so ever.. it was idiotic but im talking here about him as a rally driver and what he did when he was alive.

We're not having a go fella, I like you and like reading your posts. We should just agree to disagree I reckon
I just don't think a couple of soft British titles and one world crown make him a legendary rally driver that's all fella.
And I don't agree with singing his praises after what he did in that helicopter.
