It was very good... Does make you wonder though, if he had slowed down just a little... Would he have won more?

absolutely superb, Chris Hoy did brilliant in paying tribute to my hero, I had a tear in my eye a few times, Colins passion for life and driving and also winning was unbeleivable. He had an infectious attitude to winning and performing, loved the way he defied the team orders, brought a hell of a lot of memories flooding back

God I miss this man and legend in todays motor sport, he had charm like no other.

RIP Colin

Good program after Top Gear trying too hard and failing yet again.

Shame that he took 3 others with him - including his son.... What's the saying? Live by the sword die by the sword...

Forgot about Richard Burns too (shame on me) another sorry tale..

Should have won more in my eyes but if taking your foot off the gas pedal made you a better driver then the mcrae legend wouldnt be what it is,a fearless competitor to the end.

Was a risk too far tho the mistake he made in the helicoptor. Rip to the 4 in the crash.should have said more on richards burns in the programe i think,another british star taken away in his prime RIP collin and richard.

The 3 programme series has been the BBC at its best.
Great memories even though I have seen a lot of the footage before on the Colin McRae Legend DVD. It was great to see the old rally cars let loose, especially the Cossie & L555 BAT.
Chris Hoy is a lucky chap.

Brilliant tribute to a legend and Sir Chris Hoy did a fantastic job of paying tribute to him!

It made me proud that i am one of very few people who drive around in an ORIGINAL V2
555, one of only 500 ever built to commemerate his WRC win and that he personally selected the colour that they should be painted (allegedly).

It made me feel guilty for having mine tucked away!

That wasn't the real L555BAT, the real one is in a museum in Glasgow just now.

Great programme, came at the McRae story from a different angle. Great to see Jimmy behind the wheel. Wish it was on for longer - I can think of loads more to include, RIP Colin, you are missed badly
