Although Pitpass does not cover rallying, it is fully aware of Coin McRae's achievements and his popularity. His loss is a loss to all motorsport fans, and the fact that he perished along with his son makes this all the sadder.
At this time it is probably best to echo the sentiments expressed by fellow Scot David Coulthard yesterday.
"In line with many people, I'm shocked and saddened to hear of the loss to the McRae family, of father and son, and obviously we must acknowledge the other family that were on board the helicopter as well. Colin was a remarkable man who wore his heart on this sleeve and was the epitome of a racer; fearless and attacking, yet he remained true to his roots and grounded despite the international fame and recognition that he achieved. The world is a sorrier place without him."
