Forums Forums National News Colin Mcrae!!!

I would agree that Colin may not have been the best driver, but it was his personality and driving style that made him so popular.

I also reitterate that the game was made because of this populatity, and Im pretty sure the Subaru is as well known as it is now, because of the World championship he won in it and the manufactures championships he helped them win for the following 2 years.



...so why post then?

Any respect you ever had on this site is rapidly dropping with all the negative posts...

Thats fair enough Stuy, thats all I wanted to know. To be honest, you answered my original question in your original response.

Thats all I wanted to know. I never followed WRC until recently, and even now I am only really a casual follower since the demise of F1, not a hardcore fan etc...

I have taken some interest in the history of the sport though, and just wanted to know why he is regarded by many as the best etc...

Which I dont think was overly rude, and the context of the post I made asking the question, certainly in no way put him down, coming from a computer background, everyone I know loves playing the Rally games akin to his name, but dont actually follow rally, so you can surely understand why I linked his popularity more with the game then the sport itself.

I think this statement I made more then made up for any sense of negativity in the post:


Ive always been of the "if you dont understand something, then its better to ask than not know" way of life, and thats why I asked.

Granted...

But a quick search would have shown that, and saved the post where people have felt they have had to justify their own posts to show their respect for the man.

RIP Colin - please can this be the end of the bickering

I am really sad he has died, wonder where Subaru would be today if he didnt drive.

Kind of freaky that the boss of Subaru was also in a helicopter crash the day after.

A sad day in Motorsports.
