"I definitely retract posting that Subaru wreck in that little contest scoreboard thingy we had some time ago. ;.=.; "
why? It's tragic that McRae has died, certainly... he was a good mn and a great driver (even if the way he said peugeot annoyed me slightly) but for one, it wasn't anything to do with rallying (beyond thats what made him his money to buy the helicopter i spose) and crashes in rallying allways will happen. trust me, those cars are tougher and safer than you likely realise.

I never followed him, but RIP anyways. It's always tragic when a racer dies, on or off the track.

A damned shame... but it sounds like he was yet another casualty of "new pilot syndrome", and learning to fly helicopters well is harder than flying an airplane. The skills required are almost like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time, in syncopation. Until they've racked up a certain number of hours, pilots have no business taking up passengers with them (besides an instructor or another more experienced pilot, of course).

it's true... I know someone who almost had his certification to fly one, but he couldn't seem to land it... the landing process of a helicopter is what Eva's referring to, he could get it down to about 2 feet off the ground but not farther, so it must be very difficult thing to do. Sarah

Oh, no- he died? I can't believe it! And, they even just released that videogame with his name on it. Oh, that's awful This is unfortunate...I send my prayers out to the two families. Another Driver was called to race in a higher existence But, yeah- he's up there with Dale Earnhardt, Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenberger, Roger Williamson, and all the drivers in Heaven. I'd love to see that race!
