Colin McRae, 1968-2007
Being of scottish decent, I am always proud of great Scottish athletes. Being a fan of motorsports, I have always looked up to people like Jackie Stewart and Colin McRae. Now I have to look a little higher in the sky to see Colin McRae, who was killed over the weekend in a terrible helicopter crash.
Most Americans know McRae through the X-games, where for a couple of years he has brought the excitement and daring skills of a rally and put them into a format that the X-games audience could understand. Â But that is just the icing on the cake that has included World Rally Championships, as well as racing in everything from the Paris Dakar Rally raid to LeMans. Â His incredible skill, daring, and willingness to push the limits one more inch, one more mile an hour is what seperated him from the rest.
The racing world lost a great one. Read more information here.
