And more importantly for me I have heard stories of his generous nature in passing on his knowledge and love of driving. All that said.......for me there is no greater driver from France then M.

Thank you for making this video, it took me straight back to my late teens/early 20's and the love I had for rallying. My first car was a mk2 Escort, those drivers and especially McRae were the reason why I used to thrash it down the country lanes hanging it's arse out on the turns and eventually wrecked it, crashing it on a hump-back bridge though in McRae style I still drove it home. I went to many of those special stages over the years and I was there for those victory donuts in 1995. They were special times, though I quit going after 1997 when they moved it all to Wales, it was too much of a pain in the arse to drive all the way there, stand around in the cold and wet at the side of the stage and then drive home (I switched to touring cars so I ended up driving to those and standing at the side of an often cold, windy ex-airfield circuit instead...). Rallying was something else back then though with stage-side makeshift fixes after crashes and mechanical trouble, I remember teams sometimes borrowing parts from spectator's cars to get them to the service point, I hope those guys got properly compensated lol. Rallying these days is fast but it just seems so tame now.

I remember watching him at one of the stages in Rally Australia outside of Perth, He went over the jumps named after him (5:05 min mark) in a Skoda at the time. He came out of the right hander just on a different level than the other guys and did the 2 jumps way further before going through the ford and the left hander. That was in 2005 and is still etched in my memory. That along with Martin Brundle going through Woodcote corner at Goodwood in Adrian Newey's E type jag are the 2 strongest memories of wow moments.

At the end of the video I was really sad about this incredibly "talented" guy. But after reading about the accident, I realized he was just a lucky "reckless" guy . Sheriff Nikola Stewart, who heard the inquiry over 16 days at Lanark Sheriff Court, concluded that the deaths could have been avoided if Mr McRae had not engaged in low-level flying "when it was unnecessary and unsafe to do so". "Mr McRae chose to fly the helicopter into the valley. For a private pilot such as Mr McRae, lacking the necessary training, experience or requirement to do so, embarking upon such demanding, low-level flying in such difficult terrain, was imprudent, unreasonable and contrary to the principles of good airmanship."

When I learned about that, it struck me as if he developed addiction to action and adrenaline, and while he was able to compete to satisfy that, it grew to the point where it began to consume parts outside of his rally life, culminating in this crash. In a way it reminds me of Dave Mirra, how he did BMX until he couldn't, took up Rally until he couldn't, starting to do Iron Man runs, but then that had to stop and eventually led to his suicide. I guess just be sure to look out for your friends, especially if they react poorly if they have to take a break from something they like, since addiction can mask itself in different ways...

The only problem I've had was a transmission valve failure about 150,000 that I caught before it destroyed the transmission. I know some people have had their Outbacks throw rods at 90,000 but my family is owned Subarus about as far as I can remember and none of them have died on us.

He is 90% of the reason I fell in love with Subaru's, and why I now own a 2003 blob Impreza. The Prodrive factory is 10 miles from where I used to live growing up, my mum and grandad both worked there at some point in their lives, and, of course, my own impreza hosts a few nice little prodrive bits here and there too

We grew up with stories of grandparents being crazy, heroes etc. Imagine having video evidence of your grandpa being the the craziest driver ever.

Fun Fact: In Australia the Legacy was called the Liberty because the name conflicted with a group called Legacy Australia who care for the families of military service veterans.

Colin McRae: DiRT on the Xbox 360 is the game that got me invested even more into racing and rally. I’ve been looking for a CD so I can replay the game for ages, don’t really want to order one from an online store as shipping costs will cost me a lot and having to deal with returns in case of a problem will be a headache by itself. Hopefully I find it soon before I give up for another year

Flower of Scotland at the end was a nice touch for the legend. A few years ago I got to see Jimmy driving Colins championship car at an exhibition event in Glasgow called ignition, I also got to see David Coulthard drive a championship winning RB7...but Jimmy in Colins car!

At the time Sebastian Loeb won his last WRC title, he had won a quarter of *all* WRC seasons ever contested, had an unprecedented (and still unrivaled) run of consecutive title wins, and became the most successful rally driver in history. He's a legend of the sport. But we still remember the relentless Scot that pretty much either won a rally or crashed out of it.

Because he was wild was the reason he didnt win more, sounds harsh, but it's the reality ! Racing teams dont need reckless drivers, they need reliable ones with a good engineering background like Vatanen, Loeb and Rohrl ! Sainz was like McRae, too bold ! Didnt win much either ! Same with Lauda ; reliable, very toughtful way to think racing, won a lot !

I love Jimmy's Vauxhall Chevette HS/HSR in DTV livery. Colin McRae was a legend, but Richard Burns was also really cool. There was a lot of respect between them, but we lost them both in a very short space of time.

I loved watching him in the 90’s in L555BAT it was amazing. But he killed himself two children in a helicopter crash doing manoeuvre’s he wasn’t able to do. Plus he didn’t have the licence to pilot the helicopter either. When I found this out I was devastated, he went from a hero of mine to nothing. It still upsets me.

You should've brought up his race at Rally Australia 2005 when he drove that uncompetitive Skoda Fabia competing with Harri Rovanpera in his uncompetitive Mitsubishi Lancer for 2nd but a problem with a clutch change meant he was forced to retire.
