It was very sad news yesterday, hearing the news that the famous Rally driver Colin McRae, and his 5 year old son Johnny, were both killed in a helicopter crash.

Colin McRae is one of the greatest drivers of our generation and breathed new life into the Rally series, getting a lot more people interested in the sport over the years. He will be greatly missed.

My condolences go to Colin's family. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Without a doubt one of the greatest sportsmen this country has produced, he revitalised Rally with his raw talent the same way Senna had with Formula 1. I will miss him.

Yeah man, it's a shame. He had that little difference from others that made him stand out.

We seem to be hearing a lot about helicopters crashing recently.

Prodrive boss Dave Richards was also involved in a helicopter crash yesterday, but luckily both he and his wife walked away uninjured. Very spooky considering Prodrive were Colin McRae's old Rally team!

Yeah, I saw the news yesterday, and I was like ... "Huh? Must be a different Colin McRae." Then it turned out to be the man. Really unexpected, I hope the guy and his kid will rest in peace somewhere nice.

He's probably doing laps around the go-cart track with Ayrton, cursing the fact that, for some reason, that Richard Hammond bloke isn't there!!!

He will be missed, in all areas of motorsport.
