Don't forget we lost Michael 'Beef' Park in 2005 as well as Burns.
Its a massive shame. First game i ever really played was Colin McRae Rally. Played it for hours on end. I used to have a massive poster on my wall of McRae, signed. Not hand signed but print signed. Still it was first thing i saw in the morning. i took it down about 5 years ago when i had to re-paint. I think its up in the loft now, i think i may go and have a look for it.

Nooo!! I have lost everything worth living for... When did Richard Burns die?
RIP Colin
Burns died Nov. 25, 2005 from a coma after a brain tumour. His death was only a major hit for the Motorsport world as the Irish fooball player, George Best, died the same day from kidney problems which were caused by drugs he had been given after his body was rejecting a new liver. His cause of death was listed as lung infection and organ failure. He was 59. Burns was 34.

Man......I would have never thought I would hear this ever....nor say this ever...
RIP Colin McCray
I remember back when SPEED showed the WRC events and Colin just leaving it out on the road in that Ford Focus!
The last race I saw him in was @ x-games where he let it all hang out to win only to flip over......Classic "Colin McCrash" racing right there. I'm going to miss that.

Could it be true that both of his children were on board?
I've heard lost of talk of his 5 year old son being on board but what about his daughter?

His 5-year-old was most likely killed in the accident with him (however not confirmed 100%), his daughter and wife weren't on the helicopter.

As an American I can't say I followed the WRC much but the one time I saw Colin it was on the broadcast of that one X-Games event where he flipped it and still pulled off a silver medal... man, I'll miss that kind of driving skill.
Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that at least these guys aren't dying doing the things they love.
We'll miss you, McRae.

R.I.P. Colin McRae, the best British rally driver in the WRC. Condolences to his family. Its such a great loss for the motorsport community. Especially those in GB. He was an exceptionally good rally driver. But not only is he in the WRC but in the Dakar rally as well as the Le Mans 24 hours and the X-Games. A great guy none the less. Sad to see him past away like this.....
