Colin McRae tribute thread
This is in response to McRae's death back in September. I know we have another topic about McRae but it was more reporting what had happened at the time and mourning his death after. Again, this is a tribute to one of my personal heroes.
Lastnight I was reading the latest issue of Car Magazine, which I immediately went to the Colin McRae piece written by Mark Walton. The things that Walton wrote about is the samething everyone else who has met the superstar driver. Calm, collected, family oriented, honest, and downright good natured person to name a few. Other words like commited, hard working, and persistent were other themes. Be sure to check out the newest issue.
I started recalling another piece that I read. The writer mentioned that Colin McRae would be seen in grassroots motorsports events but blending in with the rest of the people as if you didn't know him you would have never guessed he was a multiple WRC winning driver. So he possesses an awesome personality and strong character, which every person who knew him or met on several occasions have stated. Skilled in multiple disciplines: motorcycles, dirbikes, roadcars, you name it. I want to applaud the life of Colin McRae.
Here are several thing I found:
-Prodrive Racing: 550 Maranello onboard
-Eddie Jordan on McRae's driving skills
-Tribute video: excellent editing
-I believe a Top Gear episode
-Colin shows off his cars
-Another tribute video
-Colin McRae at Goodwood 2007
-Colin McRae at X-Games 2006
-Short interview with Subiesport Magazine
-Colin McRae wiki
