Thought I would post this up here, I think it is quite a touching video and also so sad to see this great Champion decline so much.For me I think he could have gone on to achieve more than Colin MCrae in terms of stature and titles, He was one hell of a talent and still had a chance of winning the title the year he collapsed, such a shame he went so young.

It certainly has, I still remember the Top gear tribute show like it was yesterday, Good to see that he is still being remembered with the RB foundation, Might have to get me one of those orange T-shirts, look pretty cool and for a good cause too...:)
 
Pity they both went relatively young - but I grew up watching McCrash (and his brother in later years) and playing the pc games , Colin was my favourite

May they both rest in peace
 
I went to Rally Day at Castle Combe a few years back that was a couple of weeks after McRae died. There was a McRae tribute stand with a couple of his cars right next to the Richard Burns Foundation stand.

It was a fairly sobering view. People were just stopping and staring at them both in silence. Both British WRC Champions taken before their time.

Gonna order one of those RB T-Shirts now.
