Very sad for rallying and very sad for one of the longest running racing game franchises.

Yea it was on the news here, and I heard it elsewhere as well. Pretty sad news, best wishes to his family.

Shit

This is pretty creepy - before hearing this news this morning, I was trying to play CM Dirt but it was crashing every time I went into a race. Now I don't believe in any of that superstitious bollocks - I'm sure the xbox has just died - but it was still pretty weird when I gave up trying to play and flicked the news on instead

I did the box art for Richard Burns

Such a horrible tragedy. According to his website, his 5-year-old son, his 6-year old friend, and two other family friends were flying with him at the time of the crash.

Serious pity. He was an awesome dude.

I wonder if codemasters will stop making shitty rally games now or just rename them a bit.

Mongrelman

Damn shame, my thoughts to all the families.

Unbelieveable, he's the second rallydriver I've met to die. What a way to go, especially after retiring from a really dangerous sport.

Daz

Yeah with his 5 year old son killed too, this is just awful. I can't imagine what his wife is going through. Tragic.

Fuse

Very tragic. First Richard Burns, now Colin .... Very heartbreaking news indeed

Don't forget Possum Bourne and Peter Brock too.

Mark Lovell. Got to ride in his co-driver seat the year before, probably the most intense experience I've ever had.
