Have nominated him anyway, since I'm pretty sure that Colin McRae qualifies as an exceptional example.

Sorry I'm so late, I dont' know how I missed this.
wow. my favorite rally driver, gone the way Kulwicki went. my condolances go out. Suggest someone drive the final stage of a rally slowly and backwards after they've won. Good 'ol Polish victory lap.
and I was all looking forward to see what he'd do at the X-games next year...

There is an hour long tribute to Colin on ITV4 for British viewers at 5:30pm today.
I went to the McRae stages rally yesterday and will post some pictures in my photos thread later.

I was looking through my Yahoo mail and found one piece of mail from Codemasters offering their admiration and respect for Colin McRae. Here's how it goes:
Colin McRae MBE: 1968-2007
Hello.
As followers of racing games, and followers of Codemasters,
I'm sure you have by now heard the very sad news of the death of
Colin McRae, his son and two family friends.
For us all here at Codemasters, it was a privilege to be associated
with a man recognised as a true great. He always took a keen interest
in the game experience, wanting to make sure it was without equal in
its portrayal of the sport. He was not prepared to compromise and was
as passionate as us in making the Colin McRae games the best they
could be.
For those of us who worked closely with Colin and got to know and
admire him, we take great heart from this and recall great memories
of his time in the dev studio. I'm sure that many of you out there
reading this will also have wonderful memories of a first-class
sportsman, whether from WRC coverage, or if you were lucky enough to
meet him.
Many of you have already posted messages of condolence on the
Codemasters forum, and we would like you to know that we've set up a
dedicated page for this purpose on the Codemasters website here:
http://www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae
Personally, I'll count the interview I did with him in 2004 as a
memory I'll forever cherish, and I thought I'd just pull a short
quote from it to end this tribute to a friend of Codemasters, and an
all-around "car guy".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
RFT- OK. What is it about you as a rally driver that makes you better
than the next guy?
CM- For any successful driver, it's confidence. Self-belief. But
that's in anything in life. If you're confident in what you're doing
and you really believe in yourself that you can pull it off, then
generally you will.

Yeah, I don't check my Yahoo mail too much. It was tough when we lost Dale Earnhardt Sr. It was tough when we lost Peter Brock. It's tough now without Colin McRae. I've always admired him. Never doubted his abilities or his determination to win. You couldn't fill a field full of good rally competitiors without this guy in it. There were also those competitions at the X-Games between McRae and Travis Pastrana. Whatever Halls of Fame there are for rally racers and international racing talent in general, he should be inducted FIRST BALLOT. One of the best in the business for absolute sure.
