Think it's a bit too early to say at the moment but i'm sure something will be arranged either as a club or a community

Sad for one and all. Most of all to his Wife for losing a husband and son.

[uno turbo]

as already said, a sad day for rallying fans, and scooby fans alike. thoughts go out to his family, his wife, and daughter, and for the other man and child who also died in the crash. R.I.P.. another scooby rally legend..

Gobsmacked, Words cant really express how sadden this news makes us, Really gutted when heard the news last night, Mcrae and Burns are the reasons we are a family of Subaru owners, Both British World Champs taken from us too early, All our thoughts are with the families of those lost.

[dunks]

What a sad day, another legend taken from us. My thoughts are with his family

[scoots]

A very sad day. Our thoughts are with his family.

ditto...i am also saddened, after all the crashes he went through on the wrc circuit and walked away, for him to lose his life in this manner is hard to take on board, our thoughts are with colins,and the familys involved.

An early fitting tribute was already made earlier by the scottish SIDC with their slow drive by his estate, as a community we can organise somthing later....well done SIDC

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Just got back from holiday in Iceland and very little access to UK telly or up to date newspapers there so didn't hear this for a few days.....very sad. Thought that an article in Mondays Telegraph summed him up "....but when you think of McRae in his pomp the image of a blue Subaru - probably in mid-air - springs to mind. These four-wheel-drive workhorses had a distinctly unglamorous image befoe the Scot became involved with them. His exciting style transformed the company's image, and the WRX, the road-going version of McRae's thoroughbred, became the boy racer's steed of choice"
